There's been the issue #48351 about this since last spring. I think the
problem exists on several pages on the website.
And below is the English translation of FLUG's press release:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Press Release
Helsinki 2.2.2006
For immediate release
Finnish Linux User Group ry
OpenOffice.org Finnish translation team awarded as Linux Actor 2005
The Finnish translation team of the OpenOffice.org 2.0 suite has been named as
the Linux Actor 2005. A honourable mention was given to Finnish Debian
community. The awards were given by the Finnish Linux User Group FLUG, and the
winners were announced at Open Source 2006 event arranged by Tieturi, a
leading IT training provider in Finland, on February 1st 2006.
OpenOffice.org is a full-featured office suite based on open source software
and open standards. The long waited and worked version 2.0 was released in
october 2005. The proactive and persevering work of the translation team made
it possible to release it immediately also in Finnish. OpenOffice, which works
among other systems also in Windows, is one of the most important components
of the Linux desktop environment, and the Finnish translation makes it a
genuine alternative for Finnish home users. The jury paid attention also to
the high quality of the translation.
Debian GNU/Linux is one of the most popular Linux distribution packages,
developed by over a thousand vonluteers over the world. The Finnish actives
have participated in the development of Debian for many years and at the same
time taken care that manuals are available also in Finnish. The efforts
culminated in July 2005, when the annual summit Debconf, which drew some 300
participants from all over the world, was arranged in Espoo. It brought
Finland reputation by being the best Debian summit so far according to many
participants.
Suggestions for the winner of the Linux Actor 2005 award were collected at
FLUG website. The final decision was made by a jury that consisted of the
Press Secretary Arto Teräs (FLUG), Vice Chairman Arto Inkala (FLUG),
Martin-Éric Racine (Linux-Aktivaattori ry), Petri Koistinen (Finnish UNIX
User's Group FUUG), software specialist Jari Leminen (Tieturi), docent Jussi
Silvonen (Helsinki University), and Tapani Räikkönen, the winner of Linux
Actor 2004 award.
The Linux Actor award is given annually to a company, community, or a private
person, who has significantly advanced Linux development or the status of
Linux use in Finland. The award was given for the first time in 2002.
