Re: [IAEP] Yoruba localization contract completed

[David Ally]

Dear Sugar labs,
Great to hear that progress is made on this project, thank you all for the 
effort. Who is testing those already translated contents? and where can I 
access them? I would like to showcase them to some partners that may push 
further on other areas here.

Regards!

 Hello guys,
 
 there are  some bad news in my country.. as you all know
 the based on the change of government. Things now are so
 expensive due to dollar crisis with our current exchange
 rate. I guess it has something to do with the fallen oil
 price.
 
 
 
 I am just seeing in the news that they will soon suspend
 foreign currency coming to individual accounts. So I am
 pleading on behalf of my translators for SFC to spend up the
 process. So that we won't be affected. that why we
 didn't request for milestone 2 before
  doing 3. Thanks for you understanding for those working
 around the clock to get things done.

Re: [IAEP] Yoruba I18n

[David Ally]

Thank you to members of the oversight board! translating Sugar into Yoruba for 
those of us working in technology in Education in Nigeria should be a 
delightful thing and help us to push for many intervention agencies in Nigeria 
to contribute to IAEP to translate to other indigenous languages. I also agreed 
that other non-Nigerian languages can also be considered, but you can start 
with Yoruba as already proposed.

I hope this proposal come out successful.

Regards!

 At today's Sugar Labs oversight board
 meeting [1], we discussed the 
 motion submitted by Chris Leonard to fund a program for
 translation of 
 Sugar into Yoruba, one of the three main languages spoken in
 Nigeria. I 
 second the motion and bring it to you in an email vote.
 
 Members of the oversight board, please reply to this email
 solicitation 
 for a vote on the following motion.
 
 [text of the motion follows - this email from Walter was
 posted on IAEP]
 
 Approve.
 
 Tony Anderson
 
 Approve.
 
 Sameer
 
 
 
 Disagree.
 
 I don't see any evidence how Yoruba localization could
 increase the size 
 of the Sugar community. I think we mix here two things:
 - a localization project without any clear need on the
 field,
 - a legitimate wish to thank an active and loyal contributor
 (Samson)
 I can't be agree with the first one (including within the
 Trip Advisor 
 deal): it's time and money for nothing.
 I'm agree with the second one but may be we could imagine
 other ways to 
 do that, i.e. ask Samson to work on more useful tasks. For
 example help 
 on initiative like the Tony one to invent an auto
 localization process.
 
 Best regards from France.
 
            
    Lionel.
 
 
 +1 para Yoruba i18n motion
 
 Sugiero que para futuras propuestas se especifique el
 impacto que tendrá 
 en la comunidad. Es decir, cuáles y cuántos serán los
 beneficiarios de 
 la traducción, y si esto ampliará significativamente el
 alcance de Sugar.
 
 Saludos

 +1 to the motion.
 
 Following Lionel's point, I suggest we create a list of
 languages and 
 decide which ones are a priority (based on the potential
 impact) and 
 look for people to do the job.

 Today at 7:38PM (ET) would be the deadline for the i18n
 motion.
 
 So the result on this motion is five in favor, one opposed
 and one 
 abstention.

Re: [IAEP] [SLOB] Yoruba i18n motion

[David Ally]

Dear Oversight board members please vote YES for us. We can follow up with 
sourcing for more funding locally for other languages if this can go through.

Thanks for taking care of Nigeria's need, but we have so many languages 
here..we hope this would be a big success, that would pave the way for us to 
push for more work locally here.

Regards!

 Members of the oversight board,
 please reply to this email solicitation for a vote on the
 following motion.
 
 Motion: To fund a program to
 initiate the translation of Sugar into Yoruba. The specific
 milestones and costs are detailed below. A description of
 the rationale for the project is found at [2]. The work
 would be led by Samson Goddy and reviewed by Chris Leonard,
 in his role as Translation Community
 Manager.
 This proposal is for the
 translation of Sugar user interface andcertain
 Sugar Activities into the Yoruba language (ISO-639 code -
 yo).
 Milestone 1 - The
 initial payment of $350 USD will cover startup
 costs(internet connection fees, localizer
 recruitment/training, etc.).Payment is to be made
 upon successful completion of
 contractualarrangements with fiscal sponsor
 (SFC).
 Milestone 2 -
 Glucose - Payable upon completion and upload to
 Pootleof the PO files for sugar,
 sugar-toolkit-gtk3, OLPC_switch_desktopwill be
 for $1,350 USD. Included in this milestone is a $300
 USDproject management fee, in addition to fees of
 approximately 40cents/word for the projects
 included in this milestone.  The uploadedfiles
 must pass all "critical" error checks (as flagged
 by the Pootlesoftware) and be approved by the
 Sugar Labs Translation CommunityManager, such
 approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
 Milestone 2 must be completed prior
 to Milestone 3.
 Milestone 3 - Fructose - Payable
 upon completion and upload of the POfiles for
 Calculate, Chat, ImageViewer, Jukebox, Log, Paint,
 Pippy,Portfolio, Read, ReadETexts, Record, Speak,
 Terminal, TurtleArt, Web,Write will be for $2,300
 USD. Included in this milestone is a $675
 USDproject management fee, in addition to fees of
 approximately 40cents/word for the projects
 included in this milestone.  The uploadedfiles
 must pass all "critical" error checks (as flagged
 by the Pootlesoftware) and be approved by the
 Sugar Labs Translation CommunityManager, such
 approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
 Total anticipated costs for all
 three milestone payments will be $4,000 USD.
 All projects are hosted on the Sugar
 Labs Pootle server at
 http://translate.sugarlabs.org/yo/
 Translation may be performed
 off-line with subsequent upload to thePootle
 server.

Re: [IAEP] Funding team?

[David Ally]

Thanks for this propositions, we are(our company) working on creating platform 
that will support digital education in Nigeria, but we noticed that if we do 
not start with teachers readiness then it may take longer to get serious 
adoption.

We have been paying close attention to what is happening in several areas, and 
my personal suggestion is that every useful effort should be pursued as they 
occur, everything will converge eventually and contribute to the objectives, 
but there could be regret for inactivity.

Discovering the sources of available funding is the most difficult situation 
confronting us, although we are profit making organization, our approach is to 
help government partners that we support to prepare grant proposals and 
applications and provide the technological/program management supports when 
necessary, so please share with us any useful grant makers information that are 
focused on Education in Africa region.

Keep the good work going! best regards!

David

 I'm not sure exactly if a team is required, but formalizing mechanisms
 for projects like translations and content, research or development, to
 look for funds - sounds like an excellent idea. We (local labs) have
 been thinking and talking for a long time about a project bank where
 projects could be tracked in a platform for funding, as well as
 requirements and funding could be gathered in bounties or calls for
 proposals (the other way around).

Exactly.

 I'm cc'in Laura who has been thinking about the design of such a system
 for a long time.

¡Hola! Laura. Por favor, ver

http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/User:Mokurai/Funding

y díganos lo que piensas. Hay muchas oportunidades.

 What do you think? Maybe funding for developing such a platform is one
 of the first things to consider?

It is hard to get funding to look for funding. Grantmakers want to see in
advance what the proposed result of their grant for those in need is
intended to be. I have in mind grants for Sugar development, for creating
Open Education Resources to replace textbooks, for developing teacher
training, and for localization and translation. In each of those cases we
can state how many students will benefit now and can project the
possibilities for the future. Translation to Spanish is one of the top
priorities, in terms of numbers of children to be served. Replacing
textbooks in Uruguay (starting to happen now) and Perú may rate as an even
higher priority.

I am planning to write to Software Freedom Conservancy, which handles
donations to Sugar Labs, about how they handle fundraising projects. Their
policy is to take care of administrivia and let the projects focus on
development and rollout. It may be that it is more appropriate to build
the platform there so that it can coordinate among all of the SFC
projects.

However, nothing will happen unless we get volunteers to seek out
opportunities, and write the grant applications. I am assuming that given
workers, we can get the board to hash out the policies.

 Sebastian

 There are lots more.

 We need people to gather and document opportunities; grant writers; and
 proposals for what to fund.

 Some people think that this is still a bad time to ask for money, but I
 hear that corporations are sitting on trillions of dollars of cash
 equivalents.

Re: [IAEP] what is this keyring needed for?

[David Ally]

I got sugar on a stick fedora 14 and created the usb but while downloading some 
activities, this keyring stuff pop up and requested for password.

To set up a simple password, it was requesting for very strong password, and 
thereafter kept on asking for it.

How do I deactivate this feature? I do not think little children need a complex 
stuff.

Best regards!
