How can I keep myself from replying this thread :) , and I am using "English language" to advocate on Nepali Linux.
I don't agree on saying that its language is hard, the fact is we take everything for granted. See me as an example, I can ofcourse write in Nepali, but why am I using english here, because I can type faster in english and my keyboard is english typefaced (I have bad habit of see- typing). The blame is me but I can blame either my keyboard or steep learning curve (not so hard, but learning new thing is always harder). Over that our education taught us almost all meaning of "application" but failed to teach us "अनुप्रयोग". Nepalinux is definitely one cool distro, but about last two versions when I inserted on my cdrom gave me two problem, 1st took abt 5min to boot and resolution was seriously screwed up. 2nd didn't even boot up(CD I got at release event). Sorry I didn't complained then. Lets leave that away and let me present few ideas we can fire up to make this thread topic extinct. 1) FOSS Nepal: Lets involve FOSS Nepal seriously in development of distro, If nepalinux gotta board or something then officially including member from FOSS will be a great start. We can induce all ongoing mailing list activity directly in FOSS Nepal list with [Nepalinux] tag. We can discuss and embrace nepalinux within FOSS Nepal and introduce FOSS Nepal to external relation, Advertisement etc. 2) Routine: Lets have a standard routine for development of next version, It can include feature discussion, beta releases, feature freeze and release clients of the distro. Say, we can start with ubuntu and work all the way round, doing this we can more or less sync with its release cycle and more generic bugs are not of our much headache. Build timeline, bug filing mechanism, cool codenames :) and occasional coffee guff with few developers can be a great turnout too. If where is code? whats going on? where do i get myself involved? type of question can be answered then wouldn't it be great !! So starting launchpad or version tracker could be a great idea. 3) Participation: Lets divide atleast few subtopics like "system", "artwork", "language" and "testing". If there is such team already, its activity can be opened through different channels like mailing lists and wiki. I feel If we have place to input and know whats going on and over that if we can test beta versions on our machines, the system will be more cool, usable and stable and contextualize too. 4) Culture: with all difference if we can start using nepalinux and input our ideas and suggestion hence, setting up a culture and being proud of using NEPALI distro with NEPALI feel and warmth. have a wallpaper with sagarmatha at top, swyambhu and pasupati by side of winding hills and green field of crops down that with shining Sun and Moon over himalayas , menus and tags reflecting same language that made us famous for our hospitality (simple, sweet and precise), wouldn't it be great, won't you love to get involved and help Nepalinux achieve this height ?? 5) lets start now.........
