Ms. Alolita Sharma
Mr. Russ Nelson
Mr. Ken Coar
Ms. Nnenna Nwakanma
Mr. Raj Mathur
Observers:
Mr. Zak Greant
Topics held for next meeting due to time constraints:
1. Old Business
a) Japanese Fonts (Mr. Tiemann)
Discussion of problem / opportunity of adding OSI support for licenses written in languages other than English. Japanese developers need to support Unicode characters. Mr. Mark Webbink (of our Legal Advisory Board) has previously indicated that he welcomes the challenge of working on the Japanese Font issue. We can use the TRAC system to manage talking points with the Japanese group. Mr. Tiemann will draft language for review by board.
b) Alfresco Internationalization report (Ms. Sharma)
Will set up concall with Alfreso and our webmasters to get a common understanding of what will happen next. Ms. Sharma will report progress and hopefully a work schedule with Alfresco at the next BOD meeting. She hopes to have Alfresco installed before next BOD meeting for testing. Goal is we should have a defined workflow whereby anybody can write a translation of any page, some trusted, qualified reviewer (or sufficiently independent reviewing parties) can validate it, and then it becomes a translated page. Separately, we have a way to set lang prefs so that if there is a native page in the pref'd lang, it is shown (with a link back to English). Discussion of how to get reviewers we can trust.
