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!

David

[IAEP] [SLOB] Yoruba i18n motion

2016-05-06 Thread Walter Bender 
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.

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 and
certain 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 contractual
arrangements with fiscal sponsor (SFC).

Milestone 2 - Glucose - Payable upon completion and upload to Pootle
of the PO files for sugar, sugar-toolkit-gtk3, OLPC_switch_desktop
will be for $1,350 USD. Included in this milestone is a $300 USD
project management fee, in addition to fees of approximately 40
cents/word for the projects included in this milestone.  The uploaded
files must pass all "critical" error checks (as flagged by the Pootle
software) and be approved by the Sugar Labs Translation Community
Manager, 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 PO
files 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 USD
project management fee, in addition to fees of approximately 40
cents/word for the projects included in this milestone.  The uploaded
files must pass all "critical" error checks (as flagged by the Pootle
software) and be approved by the Sugar Labs Translation Community
Manager, 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 the
Pootle server.
