PTL non-candidacy
by Ying Chun Guo 21 Mar '16

21 Mar '16

Hi, team I'm writing to let team know I will not run for I18n PTL in Newton cycle. I18n team have a long history starting from July of 2013. I was there at the beginning. Almost 3 years passed, I see the team growth rapidly. Especially in the recently year, a lot of things happened. In Vancouver, we had the first I18n team meeting and we decided to go official. We made it in Liberty cycle. In Tokyo, tens of translators got their ATC codes because of translation contributions. We successfully moved to Zanata. We set up our own I18n repository. Translation contributions can be shown in stackalytics. Translation check website will be ready soon. Full time translators work together with us in Mitaka translation. There were 1 million words translations in Zanata after Liberty translation. I'm sure the number will grow a big amount in Mitaka. I'm so proud of the team and progresses we made. I appreciated the great support from coordinators. I appreciated the help of Elizabeth, Steve, Carlos and Alex, who helped to set up our own dedicated translation website. I appreciated Andreas's work on infra side. I appreciated Tom and Stefano who helped to set up the team. I'm so glad that I made a lot of friends there. I'm happy to see Kato announced his candidacy for the new PTL. I think he is well qualified. I will not leave. I will support the new PTL to make a smooth transition. I will continue as the coordinator of Simplified Chinese team and contributor of I18n team. I'm looking forward to see more achievements we make in the future. Thank you and best regards.

Hard string freeze and version switch
by Ying Chun Guo 21 Mar '16

21 Mar '16

Hi, team Now there are 5 server side projects and 1 dashboard project which have met the hard string freeze and cut the RC1 ( release candidate 1 ). In their source code repositories, the stable/mitaka branch is created. In Zanata translation server, I created corresponding versions named as "stable-mitaka". The translation works need to be switched to "stable-mitaka" version from master version. I also changed the links in the front page of translation server. If you don't know which version you should work with, an easy way is to navigate to the correct version from the links in the front page. The 5 server side projects are: nova, glance, keystone, cinder, neutron, and heat. The 1 dashboard projects are: django_openstack_auth. The translations are planned to be imported in RC2. The server projects will have their source codes ready for RC2 next week. It's good if we can have the translations completed by the end of next week. Of course, the early, the better. The dashboard projects are slower than server projects. Horizon project will probably cut RC1 in the early of next week. Any questions, please let me know. Best regards Ying Chun Guo (Daisy)

Call for participation in evolving GILT in curriculum
by chandan kumar 18 Mar '16

18 Mar '16

Hi All, Most in FUEL community must have heard on the initiative to bring out a formal curriculum in GILT which can be taught either as short term or long term course. This was outcome of discussions at past FUEL-GILT events and FUEL meetings in Gnunify. Attached is presentation on how we intend to proceed. Have also created a draft document, link given below. We have been working on creating a draft curriculum, which becomes the starting point. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M4KgUy4VOU8aIlo8XT-C7HW2no_B0B5ZhkM69TZ… Stage 1: Review draft & expand topic index. Owners for topics identified and available to work in Stage 2. This will be come the curriculum/syllabus. Target Date: 31st March 2016 Stage 2: On each identified topic, owners will collaboratively write a chapter of few pages (upto 10 should be good to start with). This would contain brief on the topic and sub topics, but not going into too much detail, external references can be given. In long term this content would evolve into one or more chapters of book on GILT which will be used as book in training/teaching GILT. Date: 1-2 months from completion of Stage 1. Welcome everyone to contribute to this. - Review the draft, give suggestions on what can be added. - Take ownership of topics, so can build topic index in chosen topic and write chapter on it. Link to document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M4KgUy4VOU8aIlo8XT-C7HW2no_B0B5ZhkM69TZ… If you wish to edit, please request someone who has edit permission to add you, or post comments/suggestions to start with. Thanks, Chandan Kumar

What's Up, Doc? 18 March 2016

18 Mar '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi everyone, It is with great pleasure that I announce that I will be the PTL again for Newton, which will be my third release for openstack-manuals. I'm overwhelmed by the positive messages I've received since announcing my candidacy, and very excited to be leading such a dedicated and innovative group into the fray again. This week I spent some time on the Contributor Guide, working with Brian to get the docs tools documented, which is something we've been wanting to do for some time. Very soon I'll be calling for your ideas on Summit sessions, and beginning to do Design Summit planning. The Install Guide is now in the last push to have everything tested before release, but we can still use your help getting it all done! If you can help, please contact Matt Kassawara, or any docs core. == Progress towards Mitaka == 19 days to go! 515 bugs closed so far for this release. Docs Testing * Volunteers required! * https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Documentation/MitakaDocTesting Release Tasks: * Release planning occurs in our etherpad here: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/MitakaRelease * We're now freezing larger changes to the Install Guide, so cores will not be merging anything that changes the architecture of the guide, or significantly changes the technical content (except where that change is as a result of testing). This is to make the Install Guide testers work a little easier, by stopping the book from moving too much from under them. * We will be publishing release notes for our own projects to == Docs-tools == * Andreas and team have released a new version of the docs theme, which removes the versions information from the sidebar, and also removes the duplicated titles. This should make navigating the CI guides much easier, and reduce confusion over versions. == The Road to Austin == * PTL elections are now open for those projects that have more than one candidate. You should have received an email for elections in which you are eligible to vote. * I am pleased to announce that I am remaining as docs PTL for Newton (elected unopposed). I would also like to congratulate KATO Tomoyuki on becoming the new PTL for i18n, and to thank Daisy for her hard work in that group for many releases. * I have requested workrooms and fishbowls for the Austin Design Summit. I'll let you know when we get our allocation. I will send out a note next week to start gathering your ideas for sessions. == Speciality Teams == '''HA Guide - Bogdan Dobrelya''' New for Mitaka release notes: Improved Pacemaker/Corosync cluster installation and configuration details http://docs.openstack.org/ha-guide/controller-ha-pacemaker.html (kudos Andrew Beekhof). Pacemaker Cluster Manager http://docs.openstack.org/ha-guide/intro-ha-arch-pacemaker.html and Keepalived http://docs.openstack.org/ha-guide/intro-ha-arch-keepalived.html architecture details and limitations (kudos Andrew Beekhof).

I will follow up with the Nova team to find out our projected timeline for RC2. We have our team meeting today so I'll bring it up then.

Glossary management
by Akihiro Motoki 17 Mar '16

# I changed the thread title to the appropriate one. 2016-03-01 17:23 GMT+09:00 Ying Chun Guo <guoyingc(a)cn.ibm.com>: > Thank you for the input, Akihiro and Kato. > > I'm not strict in local communication method and IRC ID. > If you have clearly documented them in your team wiki, that's fine. > > As to the glossary, I still think git repository is better than > wiki to store glossaries.

I agree that it is better to use gerrit to manage glossaries, but all of my efforts disappointed me and discourage me to do more efforts. I already tried to maintain our glossary with context in our git repository. It used YAML file and converts it to PO files. It allowed us to keep contextual information. You said it will be discussed in the IRC meetings, but I got no feedback. I felt it was simply ignored (or rejected). (I could not join IRC meetings. If joining meetings is a requirement, I have to go away.) I clearly define what is required, but I don't see any counter solution provided and it forces me to use useless format (i.e., PO files). I believe I already have made enough proposal, but all of the results disappoints me and discourage me to try more efforts because it tends to waste my time. Finally, I tried to use another way to manage the glossary, then I was complained that it is not a standard way...... As a result, I had no way to satisfy requirements. Managing the glossary in two places is completely less-productive, maintain the master glossary with context information and then copy it into i18n repo (with losing the contextual information). > And, using pot/po file can make all translation teams to easily follow the > same glossary list. Do you mean even if the data format does not satisfy our requirements we should use it? Unified tools or formats are also important, but tools/format which do not satisfy requirements are useless. > As to the glossary, I still think git repository is better than > wiki to store glossaries. Git repo has strict control, while wiki > has no controls at all. Wiki is used for frequently update purpose. > After it turns to mature, Git repo is good to store. Regarding wiki usage, I don't think each language team page is not frequently updated. Does this mean a language team page does not fit into Wiki? I am not sure why we need to apply strict policy only for glossary. If the problem is that a wiki allows everyone to edit contents (i.e. glossary in this case), it is a problem of communication in a local language team. Final question. Gerrit is an easy way for translators or translation reviewers? If a language coordinator is forced to proxy maintaining glossaries, Perhaps, I am expecting too much and I may be better to be a translator.

Mitaka translation, go!
by Ying Chun Guo 17 Mar '16

17 Mar '16

Hi, team According to the release schedule, Mitaka translation starts from today. In the home page of translation website[1], you can find the detail information of Mitaka translation plan. The plan includes 6 web projects and 8 backend projects. Mitaka translation will last for above 3 weeks, from March 4th to March 28th. Here are some points for your attention during translation. 1. We start translations after soft string freeze. It means there will be string changes while you are translating. So don't be surprise when you notice the percentage of translation progress becomes smaller. 2. The hard string freeze will happen in the week of March 14-18. Different projects have different exact time of hard freeze. After hard freeze, our translation work will switch from master version to mitaka version. The links in the translation plan in the home page will be changed correspondingly. So continue your translation work from links in the home page is a good practise. Also, I will send notice to mailing list when the switch happens. 3. After hard string freeze and switch to mitaka version, there will be very few string changes. We can get 10(almost) more days after hard string freeze to finish up the translations. Let's work together to make a great success of mitaka translation. If you have any questions or get into troubles, there are several ways to ask help from: 1. Get help from your local team through the local communication method 2. Go to #openstack-i18n 3. Send mail to I18n mailing list There is a whole team who are willing to help. Enjoy translations! Best regards Ying Chun Guo (Daisy) [1] http://translate.openstack.org
