The Team has decided to givup the german Newsletter (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-wiki-de/2010-12/msg00004.html). I wasn't a member of the german translation team. I just decided to wake up a similar Newsletter.
Which Infrastructure we're using is irrelevant. The open-slx Base is for german Users and a german Newsletter is a good place too.
I have wanted to talk about the role of translations of OWN in another thread on -marketing list. http://lists.opensuse.org/archive/opensuse-marketing/2011-01/msg00276.html But unfortunately, only few were involved in that discussion. I think the most important role of translation of OWN is to inform openSUSE-related important information which everyone should know to those who are not good at reading English. For that purpose, we can always say "it's better than nothing". In this case, just focusing how German OWN should be, I also have to say "it's better than nothing". It's easy to say "you should publish German OWN on current openSUSE infrastructure". But if someone tells (or ask) Sascha to do so, (s)he should be responsible to help to do so at the same time. If no one except Sascha step forward to translate OWN into German, only Sascha can decide which way is the best. Just saying "although I won't do, you should do!" won't motivate others. But still, I really wish Sascha (and other open-slx guys) will choose the way where WE can collaborate ALL TOGETHER, instead of the way of open-slx's own. When you say 'We', I hope that means 'you and me, including open-slx guys, other openSUSE community guys and all the people who loves our Geeko' rather than 'just me and other open-slx guys' - that's my honest wish. ;-) Best, -- _/_/ Satoru Matsumoto - openSUSE Member - Japan _/_/ _/_/ Marketing/Weekly News/openFATE Screening Team _/_/ _/_/ mail: helios_reds_at_gmx.net / irc: HeliosReds _/_/ _/_/ http://blog.zaq.ne.jp/opensuse/ _/_/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
