Re: work with you

[Mattmann, Chris A (3980)]

One thing you may consider as well is helping out the effort
in Tika to support machine translation. We are working on a
Joshua and Moses based translator and we have plug-ins to the
Google API and to the Bing API and to Lingo24.

I’m sure the Tika community would be happy to help with this -
could be a nice integration with OpenOffice too.

Cheers,
Chris

then, before switching, we'll need to discuss about:

RE: Proposed Cordova replacement session (was RE: [ApacheCon] Scheduling help, pass 2)

[Ross Gardler (MS OPEN TECH)]

Follow ups to Eric (details below). I'm happy to be a go-between, but that 
seems inefficient.

Speaker: Eric Mittelette (ericm...@microsoft.com)

Bio: A Developer Evangelist since 2000, Eric has a focus on open source 
software and frameworks at Microsoft Open Technologies, Inc, where he works as 
a Senior Technical Evangelist for the Graphics, Gaming and HTML5 subjects. Eric 
has been passionate about code and algorithms since the 90's and works with 
C++, C#, JavaScript. His demo's try to demonstrate technologies with simplicity 
and fun, the focus being on kick-starting the imagination rather than 
demonstrating complete solutions. His background as Agronomic researcher 
provides him with a different point of view and an approach that makes his work 
both accessible and useful as building blocks for new users.

One month to ApacheCon. We need your help

[Rich Bowen]

(BCC'ed to pmcs@, press@, reply-to dev@community.apache.org)

We are now one month out from ApacheCon, and we need your help getting 
the word out.


The Linux Foundation, who are producing our conference, are on the hook 
for the big anonymous advertising of the event, and they're doing a 
great job of that.


But we know our project communities better than they do, and we can get 
the word out to people that they have no connection with - the 
developers and users of our software.


We need your help.

Please get the word out to your users@ and dev@ list, telling them that 
ApacheCon is just weeks away. If you like, just cut and paste the 
following in the next two days.


Thanks for anything you can do to help us get the word out and make this 
event a huge success.




Dear Apache [Foo] enthusiast,

In just a few weeks, we'll be holding ApacheCon in Austin, Texas, and 
we'd love to have you in attendance. You can save $300 on admission by 
registering NOW, since the early bird price ends on the 21st.


Register at http://s.apache.org/acna2015-reg

ApacheCon this year celebrates the 20th birthday of the Apache HTTP 
Server, and we'll have Brian Behlendorf, who started this whole thing, 
keynoting for us, and you'll have a chance to meet some of the original 
Apache Group, who will be there to celebrate with us.


We've got 7 tracks of great talks, as well as BOFs, the Apache BarCamp, 
project-specific hack events, and evening events where you can deepen 
your connection with the larger Apache community. See the full schedule 
at http://apacheconna2015.sched.org/


And if you have any questions, comments, or just want to hang out with 
us before and during the event, follow us on Twitter - @apachecon - or 
drop by #apachecon on the Freenode IRC network.


Hope to see you in Austin!

Here's the session that my colleague is proposing for the mobile track. I don't

(we may have Parashu as a co-presenter, he's a Cordova committer but may not be

Cordova: Are Universal Apps enough?

Universal Apps are the promise of applications that can easy run on any Windows device, 
but is that enough? How about running on any Windows device as well as any mobile device 
regardless of operating system? Cordova is an excellent example of cross platform 
technology. Cordova is also THE example of Universal App enabler. During this session we 
will demonstrate what "Universal App" means in the context of Cordova. We will 
look at tooling that can be used to deliver on the Cordova vision of Universal App (and 
Cross Platform) paradigm.

For the "Big Data; Big Picture" one which is it that has been cancelled? I'll 
find the replacement for that.

Craig has mentioned me that we have several slots that have opened up due to

Looks to me that we have two in Science, one in "Big Data; Big Picture", two in 
"Content". and one in "Mobile"

If you have any insight into any of these areas, please let me know

Re: ACNA Presentation Template

[Rich Bowen]

I don't have any particular opinion as to what's important to preserve. 
We're just looking for a template that has the logo, says ApacheCon 
North America 2015, and ... that's it.


I'm sorry, I'm not a designer either. Last year I tossed the request 
out, someone provided a template, and we went with it.

Here's the session that my colleague is proposing for the mobile track. I don't

(we may have Parashu as a co-presenter, he's a Cordova committer but may not be 
available)

Cordova: Are Universal Apps enough?

Universal Apps are the promise of applications that can easy run on any Windows 
device, but is that enough? How about running on any Windows device as well as 
any mobile device regardless of operating system? Cordova is an excellent 
example of cross platform technology. Cordova is also THE example of Universal 
App enabler. During this session we will demonstrate what "Universal App" means 
in the context of Cordova. We will look at tooling that can be used to deliver 
on the Cordova vision of Universal App (and Cross Platform) paradigm.

Adding private@ support to reporter.a.o?

[Shane Curcuru]

There are a number of useful statistics surfaced on reporter.a.o about
project mailing lists and such, however none of the statistics track
activity on PMC private@ lists.

I believe this would be very useful to have a larger sense of how active
different project private@ mailing lists are.  In particular, the ASF as
an organization often uses the pmcs@ alias - going to all private@ lists
- as a way to inform PMCs of important ASF activities and policies (like
recent branding recommendations and CMS changes).

How effective is using pmcs@ to communicate important information to
*every* project?  Do we have a sense if all projects are really
listening in a timely manner or not?  (I think a number of projects don't!)

I would love to see mailing list statistics over time for private@
lists, including subscribers, new posts, and especially new replies
somewhere that either PMC members/committers or Members can access.

Replies are important because that shows people are actually discussing
issues at all, or not.  I.e. in many cases if there's a major change or
question being asked of PMCs, you'd expect that the pmc would have a
brief "hey, how should we respond/does this affect us" thread on their
private@, and then go back to the original questioner.  If there are a
lot of private@ lists where there is typically no replies over time, I'd
be a bit concerned that the PMC may not be taking action (or at least
explicitly ACK'ing) important items in a timely manner.

Comments?  I'm figuring this is an INFRA ticket, which an infra team
member notes is probably not a lot of work.

RE: ACNA Presentation Template

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

The way I dealt with projector format differences at a workshop last year was 
to make dual versions.  For some reason, 4:3 worked better all around, perhaps 
because the screen captures I had tended to fit better, leaving more room for a 
little text in my old-school approach.  And the projector system was flexible.

In general, I recommend having developed a presentation that works when 
switched to either format.  That can be pretested in finalizing the slides.

This is very timely, as I was just thinking that I could really use some

With this new feature of TweetDeck, I can add people to "Team

future tweets from that account, follow speakers and projects, and so on.


If you are active on Twitter, and you use TweetDeck, and you're willing 
to help me out with this, please let me know, and I'll add you to the 
team. This needs to be a very small team, so please only volunteer if 
you're passionate about this, and are "good at Twitter."

Not sure what you mean...English is the official language on our ASF
lists at the moment, that might be unfortunate but being able to
communicate reasonably in English (or having someone who can help
translate) is a requirement to participate in our projects at the
moment.

Of course you could imagine someone speaking a specific language finds
a mentor who speaks that language and communicates directly with them
but those communications wouldn't be visible to other project members,
which is not good.

+1 for GitHub  - as Apache Extras are easily mini-communities of one
or two people and not as clear way in to contribute.


GitHub should seriously be considered. Making an apache-extras
organization there should be straight forward.

As for binaries - I found it very useful to use BinTray for Beanshell
- as I could do both Maven and regular downloads:

 I am *not* working on it. I have no idea who said I was (I do hope it
 wasn't me!)

 All I know is that Jim, David and Roberto are working on it, I don't
 know how actively but it is now a priority.

 I believe Jim is involved wearing his ComDev hat so (with his
 agreement) you can look to him for those updates. David is wearing his 
 infra hat and Roberto wears his SF hat.

 Subject: Re: Google Code shutting down Jan 2016

 We reported about apache extras in September and November and both
 times we were told that Jim, Ross, David and Roberto were working on
 it. Some time in October David asked for feedback on a proof of concept, 
 no news since then.

 Can you shed some light on who is driving this atm?

 Cheers,

Yes, not doing so would be rude!

One has to be able to communicate their ideas clearly though, so if
someone's written English is limited it would be good for them to find
a bilingual friend who can help review/translate messages as needed.

My personal experience is, that native English speakers excuse "bad English" 
from non-native speakers, if they try their best.

I suggest one of:

1) Language support. I think you speak Arabic, which has 420 million
speakers. Projects like Apache OpenOffice do a lot of translation and
documentation in different languages ("localization")

2) Code. You are probably good enough in English to understand
variables and class names. As Thiago says, try to stay at bug-fix
level - explaining new modules needs more English.

3) Graphics and layout - find a project with a GUI or website that can
be made prettier. You probably don't need to look for long! :)

4) Find a mentor that you think speaks Arabic - ask kindly if (s)he
would help you.

5) Almost cheating: https://translate.google.com/  -- but try to write
simple, so it does not get too confusing. Include the English AND the
Arabic in the emails.


The harder thing for you would be to write the proposal, and to follow
the mailing lists. Just be honest about your language skills.

Apache communities have people of all kinds and languages, but English
is the language used on the mailing lists, code and documentation.


For the proposal - keep it short - use many links, code examples or diagrams.

See project ideas at http://s.apache.org/gsoc2015ideas or make your own.

Look for Arabic-looking names in "Reporter" field:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?filter=12330297&jql=labels%20%3D%20gsoc2015%20ORDER%20BY%20reporter%20ASC



See an example proposal  at
http://community.staging.apache.org/gsoc#application-template  -- you
can skip some sections.



Google Translate from English to Arabic

أقترح أحد:

1) دعم اللغة. أعتقد أنك تتحدث العربية، التي لديها 420 مليون المتكلمين.
مشاريع مثل أباتشي أوبن أوفيس تفعل الكثير من الترجمة والتوثيق في لغات
مختلفة ("توطين")

2) كود. وربما كنت جيدة بما فيه الكفاية في اللغة الإنجليزية لفهم
المتغيرات وأسماء فئة. كما يقول تياجو، في محاولة للبقاء في مستوى علة
الإصلاح - شرح وحدات جديدة يحتاج الى مزيد من الإنجليزية.

3) الرسومات وتخطيط - يجد مشروع مع واجهة المستخدم الرسومية أو الموقع
التي يمكن تقديمها أجمل. وربما كنت لا تحتاج إلى نظرة لفترة طويلة! :)

4) البحث عن معلمه الذي تعتقد يتحدث العربية - نسأل تتكرم إذا (ق) وقال
انه مساعدتك.

5) الغش تقريبا: https://translate.google.com/ - ولكن في محاولة لكتابة
بسيطة، لذلك لا يحصل مربكة جدا. تشمل اللغة الإنجليزية واللغة العربية في
رسائل البريد الإلكتروني.


أن الشيء الأصعب بالنسبة لك أن يكون لكتابة هذا الاقتراح، ومتابعة
القوائم البريدية. فقط نكون صادقين حول مهاراتك اللغوية.

المجتمعات أباتشي لها الناس من جميع أنواع واللغات، ولكن اللغة
الإنجليزية هي اللغة المستخدمة في القوائم البريدية، ورمز والوثائق.


للاقتراح - يبقيه قصيرة - استخدام العديد من وصلات، وأمثلة التعليمات
