Hello all,
I would like to share current project team status for better visibility into I18n team members, copying to openstack-discuss and user-committee thread:
1. Translation and team effort status There are still lots of translation contribution as you see through Stackalytics: https://www.stackalytics.com/?metric=translations&release=train .
The number of translated words is not larger than the previous cycle, but I estimate that it will be similar or a little bit less than the previous cycle since I18n usually contributes translations a lot especially during Soft & Hard StringFreeze periods. Note that I18n team currently sets higher priority on OpenStack user survey translation and project document translations. Such priorities information can be found on Zanata dashboard: https://translate.openstack.org/ . Other progress such as migrating Zanata into other translation platform seems slow - me and Frank are planning to have a virtual sprint.
2. Shanghai Summit & PTG preparation : Frank submitted his presentation including me and Hoarce (China team). Let's wait for final approval on presentation submission. : There should be PTG at Shanghai - please add your name and detail thinking to Etherpad mentioned in http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-i18n/2019-July/003436.html . I strongly think to more encourage participation since I expect more participation especially from Chinese translators & contributors.
3. Updating ATC & AUC : Frank previously submitted extra-ATC for Stein through https://review.opendev.org/#/c/633398/ , and this time I would like to submit the stat calculation from 2019-01-26 to 2019-07-25. : All contributors who had commits on openstack/i18n repository will be automatically regarded as Active Technical Contributors [1], and I18n team would like to nominate all translators who contributed translations on OpenStack official repositories (https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/projects/ ) >= 300 words as extra-ATCs assuming that their Zanata e-mail IDs are registered as Foundation members. : All translators who contributed >=300 word tranlations to the following projects will be nominated as Active User Contributors [2] assuming that their Zanata e-mail IDs are registered as Foundation members: "contributor-guide, edge-computing, leveraging-containers-openstack, openstack-user-survey, operations-guide". This is new nomination after the decision during Stein PTG with User Committee: Please see [3] and [4] if you would like to follow-up with more information.
I will do this nomination for ATC & AUC as PTL just after July 25, although the due of extra ATC is Aug 26-30 [5] since I synced with Foundation that the price of Summit ticket will increase around Aug 7 : processing within the due will be fine, also I set period exactly for six months.
4. Team status : Although I regularly be online during I18n (+Docs) IRC team meetings, I couldn't find enough quorum, and I couldn't proceed more deep conversation with language teams (usually no reply from my e-mails unfortunately). : Current I18n team core members seem busy but when I communicate with them, all they are still very supportive to I18n team projects. I really appreciate their kind help. : Also, I find that some translators are very active comparing to some inactive language coordinators. In this case, would it be a good idea to nominate them as language coordinators? Please share your thoughts. : However, if such lack of team member conversations keep going, then I18n team might decide during upcoming PTG to make translation from an official team status into Special Interest Group [6]. This would mean that there will be no official PTL election and there will be no extra-ATC nomination, although I need to more figure out in details in future.
With many thanks,
/Ian
