I participated in my first OpenStack Summit in Tokyo and met the +I18n team for the first time at the Design Summit. It was an exciting moment to +meet people from all over the world working on the same thing. +It is not just translations, but working with different cultures, views and ... +time zones. These are the magical dimensions and challenges. +After Tokyo we had virtual midcycle sprint to develop the translation check +site, one of the tools to help translators in their work. +I met more people during Barcelona Summit and sank deeper and deeper into the +work of OpenStack and I18n. In Boston we had our own session to show the work of +the I18n team. We prepared a workshop also which was not so successful, but the +preparation was great and we can repeat it at any time. + +At this point I would like to thank Ianychoi for his excellent work in the past +as PTL. He is tireless, full of energy, and brought I18n far forward. He was for +me in the last weeks a kind of mentor to learn all the things related to I18n +and PTL. Nevertheless, I still need support from the entire team to +successfully manage this task. + +What goals have I set for myself for Queens: +1. Completion of the translation check site. I have been involved in this +project since 2015 and now it has to be finished :-) +2. Automate all the things. We have some manual work in I18n and our tools that +are to automate to make the work easier. +3. Aquire more people to the team. We have great teams that do a lot. But we +also get more work through translate new OpenStack projects or the User Survey. + +I hope I have given a good overview. Contact me directly if you have any +questions or requests. On good cooperation in a new cycle OpenStack! + +Frank + +Email: eumel@arcor.de +IRC: eumel8 +Twitter: eumel_8 + +OpenStack Profile: +https://www.openstack.org/community/members/profile/45058/frank-kloeker
