[08:37] <dpm> good morning all
[08:39] <andrejz> morning
[08:40] <dpm> hey andrejz :)
[08:48] <andrejz> hey dpm. i talked to some compiz developers. They might move their translations infrastructure to launchpad in the coming days
[08:49] <andrejz> i will keep you posted on new developments
[08:49] <dpm> andrejz, that'd be really cool. Actually, they approached me a while ago, I answered them and I never got a reply back.
[08:50] <dpm> so if you talk to them again, tell them they can contact me if they need any help
[08:51] <andrejz> according to them they never got a reply from you ;). Maybe it's some sort of miscommunication. I am just glad if it will be done because the current structure is terrebily outdated
[08:51] <andrejz> sure i will let them now
[08:51] <andrejz> know
[08:52] <dpm> andrejz, weird I replied to them twice, one on their first e-mail and once more last week to ping them because I hadn't got an answer
[08:52] <dpm> andrejz, can you give me the e-mail addresses of the people you talked to on a PM and I'll try again?
[08:53] <andrejz> i just know what one of the people there told me. i guess it was a simple misunderstanding
[08:53] <andrejz> i don't know mails. i chatted on IRC
[08:54] <dpm> andrejz, do you remember with whom did you talk to? I guess I can just go to #compiz
[08:54] <andrejz> go to #compiz-dev
[08:55] <dpm> ok, in there. Who should I ping?
[08:55] <andrejz> there was smspillaz, ixce, coz and some others. i guess it's best to just write it inside and wait for someone to answer
[08:56] <dpm> andrejz, ok, will do that then, thanks!
[08:56] <andrejz> always glad to help :)
[08:56] <dpm> :)
[09:35] <andrejz> dpm: it's great that you went on #compiz-dev as i cannot offer much technical assistance due to lack of deep knowledge of launchpad
[09:36] <dpm> andrejz, no worries, thank you for the heads up!
[09:37] <andrejz> no problem. I am glad to help, especially since it will make my life much easier as well
[09:37] <dpm> yeah :)
[09:38] <andrejz> dpm: we are planning to do some sort of translation marathon for global jam. Are you aware of any promtion materials we could use to promote the event
[09:38] <andrejz> ?
[09:43] <dpm> andrejz, you should add your event to the loco directory and promote it in the planet for sure. As per merchandising and so, we tend to send it only for install parties or for special loco requests. You could try asking around on the loco-contacts list. In any case, the approved locos who requested it should have recently got a table cloth and a banner
[09:45] <andrejz> the problem is that we are not approved loco, because there is currently not much activity besides translations as many members are unmotivated /don0't have the time
[09:46] <andrejz> but it will surely be a thing to put more effort in the future
[09:54] <dpm> andrejz, sounds good. Even if you are only active in translations, that's quite something already. If you organize regular events such as your translations beers, or install parties, it might be worth applying to become approved. Even if you are not accepted this time, I'm sure you'll learn from it and will get tips from people on how to grow the loco
[09:55] <dpm> I need to step back for a bit, bbl
[13:28] <happyaron> dpm: hi
[13:28] <happyaron> dpm: I've read your email about simple-scan's translation, it's not a bug.
[13:28] <dpm> hey happyaron, ah good - I was just forwarding it in case it was, as I cannot read Chinese :)
[13:29] <happyaron> dpm: "易" is like "easy", "扫描" is "scan", and "扫描易" means you can scan your things easily
[13:29] <dpm> ah, right
[13:30] <dpm> so where do you think the reporter's confusion came from?
[13:30] <happyaron> dpm: but "易"'s pronunciation is very similar to "仪", so it could be misunderstood to be a mistranslation of "扫描仪", which means "scanner"
[13:30] <dpm> happyaron, ah, I see. Thanks a lot for following up
[13:30] <happyaron> :)
