Folks,
This weekend I released the new videos to advertise this year's gsoc
and our possible participation as organization. I said possible,
because we were not selected yet, and the mentoring org selection
process didn't start yet. Anyway, we already have the video in these
languages: Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), Spanish and English. It
would be nice to have it in other languages as well. To help us
translate, use the model attached, save the file with UTF-8 encoding
and send me back that I'll adapt the video and publish at youtube and
at our ideas page[0]. Oh.. the videos are available at youtube, and
you can see them if you search for gsoc 2009. Let me know if you have
any doubts, ok?
Oh, and reply to the list if you're willing to translate to another
language. This way we avoid duplicated work, ok?
Kind Regards,
--
