Forwarded conversation Subject: Sabily Localize Version ------------------------
From: *Martin Adhie* <martin.ad...@live.com> Date: 2010/2/20 To: abdelmonam.ko...@gmail.com Assalamualaykum Warahamtullah, Dear Abdelmonam Kouka, I've very impressed on the idea of OS for muslim. Sabily is strategic assets for Muslim world. And I very appreciate for idea to localize it like Sabily Indonesian version, each country has own culture and uniqueness be it in government regulation, interest and majority of mainstream muslim its self. >From time to time Sabily need to be improved. I've tried using VirtualBox on my Windows OS, looks great to me. I feel it's much better if I open the OS appear masjid of my neighborhood and some local content. I still develop small project masjidraya.org, probably it can be integrated inside or just a shortcut. We are muslim in Singapore, we intend to have Sabily Singaporean version. I've sent email to Muslim authority here regarding about this OS, lets see what the outcome. Syukron, Wassalam.

For the idea of having a localized version for Sabily I don't like the idea and I will explain you way, when I see the Sabily Indonesian version I don't say nothing but I was not happy but now I think that I should explain that in public, in fact: first of all having many sub-versions of Sabily will divide our efforts in developing and spreading Sabily, secondly we start Sabily in the aim to have something that unify Muslims around the world and that's why most of our software are translated in many languages and they are open to be translated into any other new language: for example if there is no translation for Minbar or Zekr or Monajat... in Singapore language so you can ask access to translation files for these software and then translate them into your language and they will appear in next version of Sabily as a part of a great project for Muslims; I think it is better than translating these files and then build a localized version, another arguments is that we need any new idea and any new developer so it will be great to capitulate all our power in one great project. Well this is my point of view and we need to discuss that with other members (please when you respond me say to me if you are OK that I forward this mail into mailing list to start discussion about this issue). For your last point: having a map of Masajid, really I like the idea very much!!! we can make a unique concept and use it as a sub-project of Sabily and as a GPS software for mobile devices... I think that we should release our Masajid Map around the world (with the contribution of community, and it will take a lot of time, we can start by a small version and by the time it will grow up inshalla) then we can integrate this map into tangoGPS a software that we can install it on ubuntu and/or on mobile devices. what do you think?

It requires clear vision & mission, global architect, roadmap, guideline, so that Muslim worldwide will understand clearly on how to contribute and to make this OS suit with their need and preferences. The OS serve for Muslim World, installed on every masjid, Madrasah, Muslim home or even for Muslim business. I think it is necessary to form a formal/legitimate organization, say Sabily Foundation, you and JMehdi as board directors and chief architect. Before that you might wrap up your study faster and concentrate on this development. It is necessary to approach OIC (Organisation of The Islamic Conference) officials and introduce this project through out it's member, that's big deal. Btw where I can drop some suggestions and ideas? And Can I get JMehdi email address? First time I load up Sabily I still found software which I expect should not exist (un-Islamic) there, e.g.: games chess, solitaire, black jack. And also Wine application, somehow can be rename as 'Milkshake' maybe. And for sure people need local content and theme beside language. About Masjid Directory, yes that all about, and integration with Sabily OS would be wonderful. I'll take charge of this project, I may need your advice to start with more serious development. Muslim UK also had done a good job, almost complete, http://mosques.muslimsinbritain.org, but I couldn't reach the person recently.
