Clytie Siddall passed....

[Christian PERRIER]

Dear GNOME i18n people,

You maybe never heard about me (or maybe some of you slightly did): I
am one of the longstanding members of i18n crowd in the Debian
Project, mostly involved in i18n of Debian software, documentation,
etc. and coordinating this work for several years.

In that regard I collaborated with Mrs Slytie Siddall for many years,
as she was very involved in Vietnamese localization in our
projectjust like whe was (if I'm correct) in the GNOME Project.

It is therefore a sad duty for me to announce the passing of Clytie,
which I learned from her husband, Pete. Even though I never met Clytie
(who was living in rual South Australia, while I'm living in France),
I was shocked by this just as I could be shocked by the passing of an
old friend.

I guess it might be the same for several of you. If you feel so and
want to send some words to Pete, Clytie's husband, please mail me
privately and I'll forward them to him. I think that, as usual in such
sad circumstances, it can be very warming for relatives to learn and
hear how respected was the work of the person who passed.

Please notice that I'll unsuscribe from this mailing list (I
subscribed just to be able to send this sad mail) so if you want me to
read followups, please CC me.

Many thanks in advance.

Re: [Indlinux-group] Non-community-based approaches to localisation

[Christian Perrier]

Quoting RKVS Raman ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
 Hello,
 
 Not all in CDAC  are aware of the ways open source communities work.
 So some need to be treated with some amount of patience and gumption.
 
 Nevertheless we can make a fresh start now and let me get some guys
 from BOSS team on this along with making the translations available
 again :-) (I guess they took it offline cos of this thread).
 
 This thread needed a logical ending and so is marked to Gnome list as well.


My feeling about this is that an in-person meeting would be a good way
to make a progress on these issues.

Couldn't foss.in be a very good opportunity to do it?

I would have loved to try helping there, as facilitator or whatever
(I'm not involved in both parties, at least directly) but I won't
unfortunately be there, even though I enjoyed the event a lot last
year.

But I would urge you people to think about it and try arranging a
common working session, or discussion (maybe a public BOF is not a
great idea because of the lot of grieves that have raised recently).
