On the blink

Hi all!

This weekend there is a meeting in Sevilla, Spain about blogging, bloggers and Internet in general. It is called EBE (Evento Blog España) and around 900 people will come to Sevilla to participate on that.

Nukeador, Dukebody and me, all members of Mozilla-Hispano community and Proyecto NAVE, have been invited to stay there, maybe not for our blogs (who knows this blog?) but sure for our implication on the open Web and open standars.

It is a unique opportunity to met a lot of known people of the Spanish Blogosphere and talk with them about Mozilla, and how we can help them to use Firefox, Thunderbird and take a lot of feedback to improve our market-share in Spain.

As Choffman told to Nukeador, we are going to play some games to spread the word of Firefox and Mozilla and share our knowledge about Mozilla and its products as well as take a lot of impressions.

And maybe we can steal some souls to help us in our projects

Wish us good luck

On the Summit 2008, csejersen and mic presented a conference about l10n Fennec (the new Firefox for mobile).

So, this is an interesting blog post about that.

Also, congrats to gandalf (from MoCo, and Aviary.pl member), you are a new l10n-driver!

aaronlev has written a long and full of content article about this last Summit.

Must read.

Nukeador, John Lilly and me

Nice!

… and a lot more!

1. Now, it’s Firefox-centric. In the future will be Mozilla centered, but now, not.
2. For the es-ES community, we have another project: Mozilla Hispano, which has a lot of documentation, but it’s for now in a development moment, so it will grow a lot in the future.
3. Related to the web-based system:
   1. In-product help in Firefox 2 are 14 files. The import to SUMO: 14. Right now: es-ES has 14 articles. en-US more than 150. So, should we translate all en-US? (I think it will be the reference language). I think it is a very very expensive option, l10n teams will stay all day watching articles (150-200-500, who knows!!) to updating it to the latest version.
   2. Positive: all can edit pages and contribute to help others
   3. Negative: communities with a big numbers of members and help had to migrate all their docs? could we import from sumo to our wikis? and vice versa? (mmm, licences?)
   4. Both: only few people can approve changes and edit them before people could see it so there is always a time without the “best” answer to a problem.
4. Live chat: I think all es-XX translation should have one live chat, because our l10n are not too different and if an user need help at 6am, be sure that no es-ES people (well, if we are back from a party…) be in that, but maybe some es-AR people.
