Re: [opensuse-marketing] Vincent Untz Interview Translation?

Aha - lol, oh well that's good, lucky I didn't get very far with it. And I learned a few words of German! Thanks for sending the link. I'm loving Piratepad for work-in-progress; maybe not for something I wanted to be secure but just as a workspace it seems very good. cheers, Helen On Sat, Sep 18, 2010 at 5:24 PM, Rajko M. <rmatov101(a)charter.net> wrote: > On Friday 17 September 2010 22:23:22 Helen wrote: >> In progress here >> http://piratepad.net/hCCUtPMklI > > I missed the link: > http://news.opensuse.org/2010/09/15/osc2010-sneak-peaks-vincent-untz- > explaining-gnome-3/ > > It is in sentence: > "Das Original könnt ihr >> hier << finden." > > I skimmed over introduction, and started to read interview, but now when I was > reading every sentence to check translation, I found itty bitty "here" with > link to the article in English. > > I really dislike links like this one - short 4 letter word as link, and many > people new to web like so much to use even shorter like [1], where 1 is link > :) > > I'm sorry for this. > > BTW, I really like this piratepad thing. > I have option to share docs on Google.

[opensuse-marketing] Vincent Untz Interview Translation?
by Helen 18 Sep '10

18 Sep '10

Do we need this article translated into English? I have no German sadly, but could do a reasonable effort with the help of Google Translate, so long as Henne and Vincent didn't mind me having a bit of a guess where google does strange things with idioms. http://karl-tux-stadt.de/ktuxs/?p=2765 cheers Helen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Software Freedom Day in Thessaloniki, Greece
by Stathis Iosifidis (aka diamond_gr) 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

Hello my friends, As we all know, Software Freedom Day is on the 18th of September. Here in Thessaloniki, Greece we started celebrating a day earlier :-) The reason? We participated to an event of GreekLUG [1] at a primary school. Schools in Greece are closed on Saturdays :-P For that reason Greek Ambassador, Kostas Koudaras, represented openSUSE community. For full report and pictures you can check the address [2]. For Greek openSUSE Ambassadors events, you can check our blog at [3]. Take care.

[opensuse-marketing] FSFE organizes Linuxday in West Austria - who's interested in going?
by Jos Poortvliet 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

Hi all, The FSFE wants to organize a Linuxday in West Austria. Any german-speaking ambassadors interested in setting up a booth there? They've asked if we were interested (Tigerfoot just notified us on IRC). Link here: http://www.linuxday.at Apparently all major distro's will be there and so should we ;-) The CFP runs until the end of September so we actually don't have that much time left... Who's up for it? Cheers, Jos

[opensuse-marketing] finishing the OBS article
by Jos Poortvliet 15 Sep '10

15 Sep '10

Hi all, So the first article to promote our conference is almost done. Again many points to Helen for the great work she did. Any last input you have - go to http://piratepad.net/DWALeHTOnL and add it please! It needs a good conclusion, so anyone who feels he/she can add something at the end after reading through the article, PLEASE do so! *** Considering how many peeps are on this list I wonder why there weren't more contributions? Ya'll don't like writing, or don't have time? Or do you feel you can't contribute? Cuz if it's the latter, please understand that 1000 monkeys behind a typewriter can write shakespeare's euvre in 1000 years - so even if we're not all perfect, we should be able to write good articles together ;-) Seriously, just add, just brainstorm - others will go through and change and improve until it is ready to be published. It is difficult to START writing something - so a braindump already helps a lot. Fixing things up - that's easy. So as I said, the OBS article is mostly done. Helen started a brainstorm on the next one: the community track. Think about helping out! It is here: http://piratepad.net/DdlhrMVV5a And we have more tracks - anyone can set up one of those, it's very easy. I created a template page with some info here: http://piratepad.net/eCBfhJKr7C It is essentially a how-to on setting up an article. Think about it if you have some time! Cheers and tnx all, Jos

Re: [opensuse-marketing] Goals for openSUSE Greek team

It has special meaning to MediWiki software (the same that runs Wikipedia). What is important to know is that any namespace must be declared (created) in MediaWiki configuration file, it is not enough to simply write title, such as Portal:Distribution and have namespace. Besides http://el.opensuse.org/Portal:Distribution is actually empty page, in English it tells: "There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages to find relevant background, or to edit this page." (Google translation - surprisingly good one) which is standard message that MediaWiki gives visitors instead of error message "404 Page not found". > and they have different interface. That is the old one. You can see: http://old-en.opensuse.org that has the same shape as http://el.opensuse.org . > So now we are confused, how do we start? Taking that Greek (EL) wiki is barely translated, my opinion is that we should update wiki to the status of current http://en.opensuse.org . See end of email for more information. > if we start translating to the old interface won't the links be false? Some links may actually work, but there is a lot of additional functionality that is missing in current EL wiki and too many pages will not look good. Some pages that you may translate now like Portal:Distribution will disappear when actual Portal: namespace is created. That is how MediaWiki works, so don't translate in current http://el.opensuse.org . To compare tools in current EL wiki and EN wiki see: http://el.opensuse.org/Special:Version http://en.opensuse.org/Special:Version > Also is there some kind of map of all the layers of the wiki so that we > know from where to start and what is the amount of job we have? http://languages.opensuse.org/Help:Translation has list of mandatory articles. That list is merely proposal that can be discussed, but as long as no one objects it is mandatory. We don't have much more then that right now. To see the size of EN wiki, you can browse categories starting from: http://en.opensuse.org/Category:openSUSE_project also there is a lot of special pages that are worth browsing if you want to see how MediaWiki works: http://en.opensuse.org/Special:SpecialPages > Also what kind of permissions do we need in order to do the translation(you > mention something about it...)? To create pages there is no need for any special permission, just sign up for Novell account and after that login into wiki. (Don't forget to validate your email. Validation email will arrive shortly after creation of Novell account.) To validate pages you have to be editor or reviewer, and to do admin tasks you have to be administrators. To be able to change access permissions for other you have to bureaucrats. All that is necessary can be set up after your first login. BTW, there is only one bureaucrat there that can change status of other wiki users in EL wiki. > You gave us too much information and we were lost. :) Now there is even more :) The update of the http://el.opensuse.org will not happen in a day. I don't have even approximate ETA as server admins have few updates in a queue and it is up to them to decide how it will go. Besides nothing will happen before you request that in https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=629405 . Please create Novell account, login in bugzilla and request to update http://el.opensuse.org . Ignore comment that http://el.opensuse.org is candidate for removal. Before you appeared here, wiki was not touched for more then a year. In the meantime we can use http://languages.opensuse.org so that you can see how it will work. The same account you will use for bugzilla you can use for any other wiki, including languages.opensuse.org . Just let me know when you are ready and I'll create basic structure for Greek and you will be able to start translation. For communication we can use: opensuse-wiki(a)opensuse.org mail list http://forums.opensuse.org/english/community/opensuse-wiki-discussions/ I prefer first, but I check second daily. > We are waiting for your reply. > Kostas Warlordfff > Stathis Diamond_gr -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] SpiderOak?
by James Mason 14 Sep '10

14 Sep '10

Considering how much we have contributed to the marketing of SpiderOak, could someone talk to them about evening the score? "SpiderOak provides an easy, secure and consolidated free online backup, sync, sharing, access & storage solution for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux (Ubuntu, Debian & Fedora)" - https://spideroak.com/ Small thing maybe, but since openSUSE is the only distro actively promoting the use of SpiderOak (in contrast to Ubuntu's self-promotion), we could be at least mentioned as a supported Linux distro... - James M, 'bear454' -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org
