Summary
UDS wrap up and actions (DavidPlanella)
- Blueprints:
- Translations Portal Relaunch
- Localized ISO growth
- Translations Roundtable (placeholder for recurring actions we do on the cycle)
- Blueprints:
Translation dates (i.e. when to open translations, etc.) (DavidPlanella)
- Agreed to open translations a week after Alpha 1
- Andrej points out that translations in Oneiric haven't been copied over correctly (empty translations on Ubuntu-specific packages), so opening translations is depending on that being fixed.
Universe translations in Launchpad (AndrejZnidarsic)
- We should do this in a way that we don't upset upstreams
- Let's pick up 2 upstreams and contact pitti for the next steps on the technical side
- David to talk to mrevell and translators regarding priorities of features.
Templates priority (AndrejZnidarsic)
- Set up the priority for about 150 templates already, need to finish off other 50 before opening translations
List of annoying translations related launchpad bugs (AndrejZnidarsic)
- Need better communication with developers in getting fixes applied when patches/branches are present
- Idea: Review the list of critical bugs on each call?
- Idea: reach out to the translators mailing list to get more people involved?
Exporting translations upstream (AndrejZnidarsic)
- Regarding exports, it would be a good idea to contact upstreams to get them involved, but only when there is work being started on this from the Launchpad side.
How do we want to do our meetings in the future? (DavidPlanella)
- Postponed to discussion on the mailing list
Ubuntu docs translations (DavidPlanella)
- Postponed, ubuntu-help enabled in Oneiric for now
Promoting UTC work (AndrejZnidarsic)
- Write a blog post about genral things done by UTC group and Ubuntu translators
- Follow up with more specific posts about various aspects of UTC work
- Content should be posted on ubuntu translations portal, planet ubuntu in then shared around as much as possible.

<jtv> dpm, plan: test the updated scripts today, and if successful, announce partial translations downtime for Monday so we can do a new production run. After that, opening P translations is your call (depending on the state of the import queue, as usual).
