Hi Daisy, To be honest, I'm very surprising to hear it. I'll email you a few more in private. I appreciate your devoted work for a long term. Thanks, KATO Tomoyuki
-----Original Message----- 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.
