Presenting the 2009 Q2 GNOME Quarterly Report

[Stormy Peters-2]

Hi GNOME Foundation members and fans,

This is our first quarterly report[1]. Please let us know if you find it useful!

In these quarterly reports we want to focus on what the GNOME Foundation and its members are doing, so most of the reporting is done by the teams doing the work. (If you would like to contribute an update in the future, please let me know.) For example, in the quarterly report, you can learn how:

• our new system administration team is already hard at work on projects like switching the version control system to git,
• the bugsquad team closed 12,549 bugs in Q2,
• the release team put out 2.26.0 and announced GNOME 3.0,
• the marketing team announced plans for a GNOME store, a press team and a GNOME 3.0 campaign, and
  
• our extended community raised $12,392 through Friends of GNOME!
  

Read about all this and more - our members have been busy working on a free desktop accessible for everyone!

A big thanks to all the GNOME Foundation members, GNOME contributors and our Friends of GNOME for a successful second quarter of 2009!

Best,

Stormy

This is incredibly useful - a big thank you to all those involved in
the production of the report. Is it possible to include a section that
deals with what is coming up in the next quarter (in the perspective
of plans) ? I also note that the Translations Project did not have a
segment for themselves.

I guess this would be up to each team to include a paragrap for this.

Hrm. I remember a thread on gnome-i18n about the l10n part of the
report, but indeed, I don't see it in the PDF. Maybe it got lost
somewhere :/

And I did get an update from the I18n team. I'm not sure yet how it didn't make the report - my apologies to the I18n team.

Here is their update and a new copy of the report should be on the web soon.

Stormy

The GNOME I18n team coordinated the translation effort for GNOME 2.26,
which was made available on March/April 2009. Linux distributions such
as Fedora 11 and Ubuntu 9.04 offer the new localised GNOME.

GNOME 2.26 supports 48 languages in total, compared to 45 languages in the
previous release.

After the release of GNOME 2.26, GNOME migrated to the Git version
control system for the management of the source code. The GNOME I18n
team is helping during the migration to Git with thorough documentation for
translators and dedicated support through the mailing list.”

During Q3, the GNOME I18n team plans to:

1. Complete implementation of git commit support through l10n.gnome.org.
2. Complete implementation of git repository management program.
3. Continue providing git help to translators as soon as asked”.
4. Contact team coordinators for languages that are about to slip from
'Supported' status, assist to stay in supported status.
