Yesterday the Greek openSUSE community had it's first meeting. The purpose of this meeting was all of those who are interesting on participate to decide the next steps of our community together. Me(Warlordfff) and Stathis(Diamond_gr) had no experience on how to organize such a meeting so we made a lot of mistakes,had many difficulties and many things went wrong but finally we managed to make some decisions about certain points and we decided to have another meeting exclusively at IRC this time,sometime next weekend. The topics we talked was: Official translation of 11.4 and the creation of a translators team about it. Two members showed interest about it: Kostas Boukouvalas (who is already a openSUSE translator) Michael Vourlakos Kostas Boukouvalas has created a wiki page about the translation (http://el.opensuse.org/%CE%92%CE%BF%CE%AE%CE%B8%CE%B5%CE%B9%CE%B1:%CE%9C%CE%... ) Forum: Creation of a Greek Section at http://forums.opensuse.org. The members that expressed interest about taking responsibilities on that section were: Stratos Zolotas (Baskinsy) Stathis Iosifidis (Diamond_gr) Kostas Koudaras (warlordfff) Kostas Boukouvalas (Boukouvalas) George (Etern4l) Wiki:We decided all members to contribute by translating parts of the wiki in Greek.Also there was a suggestion about organizing a mini hackfest for the translation of our wiki. LI-F-E: We talked about making a Greek division of LI-F-E incorporating the packages of the Greek ministry of education. OBS:We decided to form a team about OBS,the team will take some packages for maintenance and Support,also to create packages that are not available for openSUSE (such packages are the packages of the Greek ministry of education that we need so that we create our LI-F-E division) Finally we decided to process all that in our mailing list the whole week and talk about all that and more at our next meeting.

I like that! Giving something a try even if it's new and you do not really know how to do it, realizing when something does not work well, learning from that, pushing through and not giving up -- sounds like a very successful recipe to me. It's also nice to see the translation of the weekly news, which I hope reaches increasingly many Greek speakers.. The text looks a bit weird, strange letters like I had in my university math courses, but apart from that... ;-D Great stuff, keep it on!

Awesome guys, really awesome. Sounds like a good meeting, even if things went wrong somewhere. It's about the fun, after all ;-) And the results sound really good. Translations are important, as are forums. And be sure to talk to the LIFE team about that software stuff, I'm sure they want to help!
