FOSDEM 2007 is over, and it’s been great. We had interesting presentations and quite a few good discussions. If you gave a talk, please make the slides available to me or sheppy, so that we can put them up on MDC. Picking a few by personal taste and broader interest, the discussion about the Mozilla [...]

For all of you that wonder if I’ll catch my plane tomorrow, I’m having spoon food tonight. And a salad. A whole lot safer than Sweden.

I’ll be presenting on l20n at FOSDEM this weekend. The slides are mostly done, and to the extent that slides without the presenter are any useful in general, are up for everyone to see.

Inside our localization community, it is an often heard complaint that we’re doing this while every other project in its sane mind does that. I have been thinking about that often, but we haven’t actually made a story out of it, [...]

I’ve been doing some investigation on localization architectures in the last two months or so, triggered by parts of the 50-2-100 thread in .l10n and .planning. In particular, I’ve been reading the archives of translate-i18n, which happens to be the (main?) gettext mailing list. Looking at the problem reports there and following the links out [...]
