Hi all,

Online IRC Meet on Monday, 28th March - 3pm - 6pm

Agenda - Translation review process & user demo workshops

NB: BOTs will be kicked out

Over the coming month we plan to do a exhaustive review of Hindi translations ( KDE , GNOME, XFCE ...etc ), part of the effort will be to make a community call for volunteers to participate in review process. Basically people can pick up an application , start it in Hindi and just go through the interface, make a log of the translation errors and send back the feedback. So in this meet would discuss how to define a review process & in what ways to collect & collate the feedback. At the end of this exercise a translation review workshop will be organized & hosted by Sarai, Delhi, where we would have the current translators, some volunteers who took part in review process , language experts & linguists. This maybe a 3day event or maybe stretch longer upto a week. Dates for this not discussed, but maybe towards April end or May 1st week. We can also discuss on how to go about doing small user workshops, oriented to fimilarising newbies to a Indic Linux. Typically will have to identify some local institution ( school/college or other) to host it & try get a sample user set to use it or it maybe a roadshow kind of thing.

Also I would be making some field trips in April - one to Punjab (interacting with Punlinux team there), and MP (not planned but maybe trips to Bhopal, Indore ), idea is to do some user demo sessions, find out target organizations which maybe interested in using Hindi on Linux & find some local linux community who can support users there.
