Hello, team

There are several important topics mentioned in last IRC meeting, which I would let you know.

1. I18n sessions in Tokyo summit

I have booked several time slots for I18n meeting.
Now they are opening for proposals.
If you have any topics related with I18n and want to have face to face discussion in Tokyo summit,
please propose your topics here: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/tokyo-i18n-sessions
If the time slots are not suitable for you, please let me know before Aug. 24.

As to the summit registration codes, after the ATC list is approved by TC,
I will continue the process to get discount codes for the ATCs.

2. Liberty translation

According to the release schedule of Liberty, the feature freeze date is Sep. 1-3,
the official release date is Oct. 15th.
So when the Zanata production environment is ready,
the translation team have to kick off Liberty translations as soon as possible.
The deadline is usually 7-10 days before the final release date, although nobody knows the exact date now.
So we will have a busy September. Please arrange your time in advance.

Before Liberty translation starts, the most important thing is
to move the whole team to Zanata !
Please help to encourage your team to sign the CLA, register in Zanata, join the language team, and get familiar with Zanata.
More details information could be found here: https://wiki.openstack.org/w/index.php?title=I18nTeam/become-a-official-translator&redirect=no
Please distribute to your team.

3. IBM wants to contribute its professional translations

IBM had contributed its professional translations to upstream before, in two old releases.
They keep on the update of translations in downstream, now the latest translations in their hands are for Kilo.
They want to contribute these translations to upstream, just as what they did before.
The translations are for projects: ceilometer glance heat nova ironic neutron cinder keystone swift
( note that horizon is not included. )
and for languages: de es  fr  it  ja  ko_KR  pt_BR  ru  zh_CN  zh_TW.
These translations were translated by professional translators and tested under Kilo release.
 The plan is to add translations where the community translations don't not exist.
The existing translations won't be overwritten.

If you have any concerns, please let me know.

Best regards
Ying Chun Guo (Daisy)
