[libreoffice-l10n] Lao Open Source Training on LibreOffice

[Anousak Souphavanh]

Hi LibreOfficers,
I am happy to share some news from Laos. From 14 to 30 of July 2014, we are
conducting the first ever Open Source training in public schools for both
students and teachers titled 'Free Open Source Software adoption in
secondary schools' namely 10 major high schools in the capital of Laos. We
have adopted LibreOffice as major office application: Write, Calc, Impress,
and Math. We concentrate on 10% technical and the rest is of practical.

The Ministry of Post and Telecommunications' Department of Planning and
Cooperation received funding from ASEAN ICT and we are the main partner for
the training.

I am very grateful to people who are very supportive and very kind for the
good cause here in Laos and we hope to further our Open Source developments
for the great benefit of the people and society.

As you might already know, I am the Lao Open Source evangelist and have
been working and pushing Lao open source for nearly 15 years now.
We are very happy to get thus far and the work is not stopping here, there
is no limit to what we can do.

Attached are photos of the training.

Cheers and long live the Open Source,

Anousak Souphavanh
Lao Open Source

I guess the 4.1 project should be completely removed soon. Our download
page states that the last scheduled release from that tree happened in
April. I'm not even sure why 4.1, and not 4.2 is still marketed as
"stable" (the latter is called "fresh"). Anyway, I'm not removing these
projects from your language just yet, as I'm not sure whether or not
that would break anything. You should probably resend this part of your
request to this list once again later.

Warm regards,
Rimas

Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Requesting Access for Localization Contribution

[Rimas Kudelis]

Hello all,

assuming that our Sanskrit locale is unmaintained (just look at the list of 
contributors in https://translations.documentfoundation.org/sa_IN/), I just 
granted Babita all the permissions necessary for work (in fact, I granted all 
the permissions that the current locale maintainer had and the permission to 
overwrite existing translations on import).

In fact, a lot of Indic languages (incl. Sanskrit, Kashmiri and Dogri) had the 
same maintainer until now, who appears to only actually maintain Santali (at 
least that's the only language where he is the last contributor: 
https://translations.documentfoundation.org/sat/). I don't think it will hurt 
even if we don't wait for his input when giving permissions on unmaintained 
languages.

By the way, does anyone know why we are using 'sa_IN' and not just 'sa' as a 
locale code for Sanskrit?

Regards,
Rimas

Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Requesting access for contribution in libre office localization

[Rimas Kudelis]

Hello all,

assuming that our Kashmiri locale is unmaintained (list of contributors in 
https://translations.documentfoundation.org/ks/ is empty), I just granted Neha 
all the permissions necessary for work (in fact, I granted all the permissions 
that the current locale maintainer had and the permission to overwrite existing 
translations on import).

Refer to the Sanskrit thread for more info and my reasoning.

Regards,
Rimas

Hello Aravind,

it seems you already have the Overview, Suggest and Download
permissions. I don't know if it was granted after your e-mail, or if you
already had them*, but since our Tamil locale seems to be actively
maintained, I'll leave it up to you and your team to agree on what other
permissions you should have (if any).

* Note: whenever a request sent to this group is being processed by
somebody, it would be nice to get a reply to the group about it, so that
the request doesn't look missed and forgotten.

Regards,
Rimas

[libreoffice-l10n] [ANN] LIbreOffice 4.3.0 RC3 available

[Christian Lohmaier]

Dear Community,

The Document Foundation is pleased to announce the third release
candidate of LibreOffice 4.3.0. The upcoming 4.3.0 will be the eighth
major release of LibreOffice, coming with a bunch of new features
beside the usual bugfixes.

RC3 is in release configuration and can be be installed alongside the
stable version on linux and Mac OS X, but will update an earlier
version on Windows.

RC3 is the last scheduled RC.

A work-in-progress list of new features in LibreOffice 4.3 can be
found at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.3

The release is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X from our QA
builds download page at

  http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/

Developers and QA might also be interested in the symbol server for
windows debug information (see the release notes linked below for
details)

Should you find bugs, please report them to the FreeDesktop Bugzilla:

  https://bugs.freedesktop.org

A good way to assess the release candidate quality is to run some
specific manual tests on it, our TCM wiki page has more details:

 
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Testing/Regression_Tests#Full_Regression_Test

For other ways to get involved with this exciting project - you can
e.g. contribute code:

  http://www.libreoffice.org/community/developers/

translate LibreOffice to your language:

 http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/LibreOffice_Localization_Guide

or help with funding our operations:

  http://donate.libreoffice.org/

A list of known issues and fixed bugs with 4.3.0 RC3 is available
from our wiki:

  http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/4.3.0/RC3

Let us close again with a BIG Thank You! to all of you having
contributed to the LibreOffice project - this release would not have
been possible without your help.

On behalf of the Community,

Christian

Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Re: New Projects at Pootle Server for Tamil

[Elanjelian Venugopal]

Thanks, Rimas.

I suppose you guys were busy with the impending release and all.

I needed the projects activated because we plan to hold a translation party
during launch of LO 4.3. The projects are small enough that hopefully they
could be translated within minutes by a small group of volunteers. Want to
drive home the point that LO is a joint effort/responsibility, etc.

Cheers. -e.
