Revision as of 23:31, 3 June 2015

This is the main page for the 2015 I18n Team FAD, which is a FAD (a mini-conference) focused on working on Fedora 24 development plans, brainstorming on Fedora globalization workflow and deciding strategy for Fedora different products.

Purpose

Fedora internationalization group has spread across the regions. We would like to propose 3 days of FAD and we would like to do following activities/tasks.

Task list:

  • Fedora globalization
    • synchronize l10n, i18n and Zanata.
  • Deciding g11n mission in the rise of Fedora.Next products. Workstation, Server and Cloud.
  • Fedora 24
    • Development plans
    • Change proposals
  • Test day improvements plan.
  • Listing out Fedora language support status. Crosscheck with (CLDR or Wikipedia list)
  • Deciding on Fedora locale related default fonts selection procedure.
  • Working on Glibc locale-archive split into different locales.
  • Identifying and Filling missing bits of "How to loosely organize a community"

Impact

The completion of these goals will create the following positive change within the project:

  • Synchronization between 3 groups i18n, zanata and l10n under the globalization initiative.
  • Test day improvement. Better planning, more relevant test case and more contribution on testday.
  • Globalization plans for Fedora products Workstation, Server and Cloud by understanding there requirements.


These outcomes connect with the following Fedora Community Objectives by explain connection here.

  • Fedora.Next initiative :- Understanding and planning for globalization requirement of different products.
  • Creating a Free (as in Freedom) distribution
    • Produce robust time-based releases every six months :- Development plans just after F23 will help to complete change proposals well in F24 release cycle.
  • Building open source software communities
    • Be on the leading edge of free and open source technology :- Fedora distribution has been remained leading the globazation development. Most of innovations first happens into Fedora and then other distribution adopts it. Example. IBus, Locales, Predictive text input method and Various fonts.
  • Promote a global perspective by supporting as many languages and geographic locales as possible
    • We will identify Fedora present situation from language support and will plan to cover more languages.
  • Developing the science and practice of building communities
    • Use existing models that work, (re)building on them only as needed in each case :- i18n, l10n and zanata groups already doing most of the things out of this. Going through this can provide more inputs on how can we build more community around it.
