Hi all -
Follow up on the Edge paper specifically:
https://translate.openstack.org/iteration/view/edge-computing/pot-translation/documents?dswid=-3192
This is now available. As I mentioned on IRC this morning, it should be
VERY close to the PDF. Probably just needs a quick review.
Let me know if I can assist with anything.
Thank you to i18n team for all of your help!!!
Cheers,
Jimmy
