ubuntu-Amharic

This page is a companion wiki page for Ubuntu Amharic. Ubuntu Amharic is one of the components of the Ethiopian Millenium Gift Project. Our goal is to create a complete amharic operating system and user applications for Ethiopian millenium that is on september 11 2007.

For that purpose we need the help of every one. You do not have to be a programmer to make a difference. What you can, we need that. We need project coordinators, lawyers ,translators, testers, bug reporters, documentation writers, tutorial writers, artists, advocates, babysitters... . We need your experience and guidance. We need and highly value your input. And if you are also a programmer, well that's good, but it isn't essential.

Put your name and your love on the greatest gift of the millennium to the Ethiopian people. Organize working groups in your areas, and help.

The proposed project and detail objectives are at theEthiopian millennium Gift Project (EMGP) page.
