FOSDEM Planning, calling all localizers

FOSDEM’s coming.  I’m going.  So are a ton of others.

Why am I going?  Primarily to present about the Community Survey Program.  We’ve conducted two surveys with over 1,000 responses to each one.  Pascal, Stas and I will use this time to present our findings and then I’ll post our presentation here or to Spread Firefox.

The second reason I am going to FOSDEM is to speak with tool developers in the l10n world.  We’re bringing together some tool developers like Friedel Wolff from Translate.org.za; Alexandru Szasz from the Narro Project; Gandalf who’s working on a tool; and a number of localizers who have all experienced the painful process of localizing Mozilla.  (If it’s not painful for you, my apologies.  Please introduce yourself to me because I’d love to meet you, Neo.)

Mic Berman and I will be hosting an off-track BoF at a room we secure at the Novotel in Brussels (room location TBD).  If you’re a localizer who’s around from 15:00 – 17:00 on Friday, February 22, and you have interest in talking about and learning about tools, please, please attend.  The Novotel is close to where FOSDEM is taking place.  I believe this is the spot.

Final reason for going to FOSDEM:  to see David Tenser.
