by Francesco Tombolini 06 Jun '06

06 Jun '06

Some days ago, I have updated the translation of Fedora Core 5 SELinux FAQ for it lang. It is a complete work, it compile quite well. I'm asking myself if there is someone who I can ask to publish it on the website. Best regards. -- Francesco Tombolini <tombo(a)adamantio.net> Key fingerprint = EDA9 7504 AA93 CEFC 5990 1356 8584 6B05 F140 5F73 http://www.adamantio.net

Self-Introduction: Peter van Egdom
by Peter van Egdom 06 Jun '06

06 Jun '06

Name : Peter van Egdom City, Country : Zaandijk, The Netherlands (GMT+1) Profession : System administrator, part-time computer science student. My goals in the Fedora Project : === - Translation of the various Fedora Core components to the Dutch language. - Proofreading the existing Dutch language of the Fedora Core components. - Reporting bugs I encounter on Fedora Core. - Triaging Fedora bug-reports. By doing this I hope to improve the Dutch language support in the Fedora Core distribution (and derivative distributions like Red Hat Enterprise Linux, etc...) and improving the end-user experience of Fedora. Historical qualifications === I've been an active translator in the pre-Fedora Core (Red Hat) days since 2002. My computer experience goes back to the Commodore 64 and Amiga computers. On the PC I grew up with DOS, Windows and OS/2. The first Linux distribution I used was Red Hat 5.2. Since that version of Red Hat I downloaded and installed every version of Red Hat that came after 5.2. Being curious, I also tried other Linux distributions but always came back to Red Hat / Fedora. At the moment my main workstation at home runs Fedora Core 5. I know a little bit of Unix shell-scripting and some college-level C programming. :-) Being a system-administrator my skills are more on the operating system and network side of things. What makes you an excellent match for the project? == Well, I eat my own dog food. :-) I try out my own translations for the Fedora Core components I see and use daily on my workstation. Periodically I also try a rawhide (Fedora development tree) installation inside a virtual machine to see the status and appearance of the Dutch anaconda and firstboot translations in the rawhide tree.

self-intro

Hi, I´m Tony. I haven´t written any documentation or programs or anything, but I´ve been using linux since RH7.1, mostly with the K12Linux project´s stuff. I´m in no way a Linux expert, but I am a dedicated and grateful FOSS user. Completely erased all Windows from my machine in 2001 and haven´t looked back. I taught English in public school here in CT. Left a few linux boxes made from donated spare parts in a couple of schools, gave a few away to students. Served on Tech committees at a couple of schools, both of which are now using Linux servers for e-mail and web servers, at least. Used to distribute K12ltsp CDs and OO.o from http://www.school-library.net but stopped. Still advocate for FOSS in school when and where I can, although I am no longer teaching. I´m now working as a translator and looking for a way to give back to the community in gratitude for all the great tools and toys. I figure translating documentation is probably a better place for me than translating software...I don´t know. English is my native language, but I bi-lingual in Brazilian Portuguese (my wife is from Brasil). I work as a court-interpreter for Portuguese/English, and also translate French and Spanish to English. So, I can translate English documentation to Portuguese, and Portuguese, French or Spanish to English. I´m not sure how much documentation comes through in those languages, but I know there are developers all over the world, so I figure I must be able to be of use somewhere. I am an excellent proofreader of translated materials, too, if that´s useful. I´m just now learning about encryption and gpg keys and cvs, so I´m a little clumsy, but I catch on quick. Heck, I bought my first computer in 2000, was using linux only a year later, and was building machines within a few more months. tony -- Anthony Baldwin Translator / Court Qualified Interpreter / Certified English Teacher http://www.baldwinlinguas.com English, Français, Español & Português 860-399-7118 / 860-235-8233 --------BEGIN GEEK CODE-------- Version: 3.1 GED/FA/H/L$ d-- s-:-- a C++ L+++ W++ w--- M PS++ PE-- PGP+ t+ tv-- b++++ G e++++ h---- r++++ y++++ --------END GEEK CODE----------

Generating docbooks from moinmoin (wiki)
by Mikko Virkkilä 05 Jun '06

05 Jun '06

Hello everyone, As my Google Summer of Code project, I'm going to work on improving and extending the way the wiki works with docbooks. For those of you who don't know, there is some support in the moinmoin wiki for generating different formats as output. One of these formats is docbook, but unfortunately the current docbook formatter is buggy. My project has started with fixing existing bugs, and thus making a page in the wiki exportable as a docbook article. At this point this initial step is mostly done, and I'll set up a test wiki in the next few days for you to test it out and find bugs. To read more about the progress and plans for this project, please check out http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MoinDocBookProject and the links there. Your feedback, comments and ideas, as well as bugreports later on, are all very welcome. I'm already hanging at #fedora-docs as mvirkkil so if you have some thoughts about all this, please don't be shy :). You can naturally also e-mail me at mvirkkil(a)cc.hut.fi. Cheers, Mikko Virkkilä

by Edward Haddock 04 Jun '06

04 Jun '06

Aloha, I finished and added section II.b. to the revised Documentation guide "How to get started" at this location http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/DocumentationGuide I wasn't sure on some of the formatting so please feel free to take a look and add/edit as you like. I know that the yum/up2date section is in need of change since Pup/Pirut are now more the default. Thanks. Edward

Hi FDPers, I was looking at the Translation QSG and it appears that it's still licensed as GNU FDL. I show the following contributors to the document: Manuel Ospina José Nuno Coelho Sanarra Pires Francesco Tombolini Hugo Cisneiros Andrew Martynov Could each of you check in here on fedora-docs-list, and verify that you give permission to relicense this document as OPL? Thank you and sorry for the bother. -- Paul W.
