Meeting summary

• Wine translations in Launchpad (andrejz)

  • Wine developers not using any translation tool. Wine is now using gettext.
  • Andrej talked with them, they're open to use any translation tool
  • Their concern is traceability of the commits
    • Translation commits are automated in Launchpad, but translations can be traced on a per-message basis in the web interface.
  • Andrej to follow up with the Wine developers

• Calendar feeds (DavidPlanella)

  • We've got nice feeds for language packs
  • Do we want to have an aggregated calendar with all (sub)calendars?
  • We need to add the language pack calendar feeds to the main release calendar. However, there isn't a main release calendar

  • See the IRC conversation discussing this topic

• Defining policy for i18n SRUs (GaborKelemen)

  • We should do it on a case by case basis - we cannot aim to SRU them all and we should focus on the most important ones
  • We can bring up bugs that we think are important in meetings and then take action to follow up with developers to ensure they are SRU's

• How to enforce package rebuilds at NonLanguagePackTranslationDeadline time, and defining the packages to be rebuilt (GaborKelemen)

  • Gabor's proposal: be proactive and 1) export translations ourselves after the NonLanguagePackDeadline 2) send merge proposals or patches for the relevant packages

  • David also thinks it might be a good idea
  • Gabor happy to take care of the exports and merge proposals

• l10n of images in ubuntu-docs (GaborKelemen)

Actions

• Andrej to follow up with the Winde developers on them using Launchpad for translators.
  • Rundown: PO file commits cannot be tracked on a person-by-person basis (translators never use the VCS, only the web interface, and commits are automated). However, translations can easily be tracked even on a message-by-message basis and see who did them in the web interface. No migration to Launchpad is needed apart from setting up a mirror branch (if so desired, to provide more automation). David happy to help with setting up the project in Launchpad.

• Gabor to review the NonLanguagePackTranslationDeadline page, add any missing packages and take care of the exports when the time comes

• David to send an e-mail to the docs team about how to best localize images
• Kenneth to investigate the iCal structure from the language pack calendar feed and report on the next meeting if it's feasible/worth it to split the main feed and merge the resulting feeds into other calendars

  • Turned out not to be so difficult, so I was able to make a quick script for it. The code lives in: https://code.launchpad.net/~k-nielsen81/+junk/cal-split
