eumel8I have prepared some more14:22
eumel8#topic: Recap Berlin Summit14:22
*** openstack changes topic to ": Recap Berlin Summit (Meeting topic: openstack_i18n_office_hour)"14:22
eumel8Last week we had OpenStack Summit in Berlin.14:23
eumel8I can't give so a nice summary like ianychoi. For the moment I would say, it was successful. We had project update session and project onboarding as usually.14:24
*** pcaruana has joined #openstack-i18n14:25
eumel8Unfortunatelly the convention center hasn't the right connection to the internet, so the recorded sessions are on the way and currently not online14:25
eumel8the same for slides upload14:26
eumel8to highlight was the project doc translation with a finally publishing of OSA translation in German the week before.14:28
eumel8and OpenInfrastructure Day Korea with a huge contributing in translation14:29
eumel8The Onboarding Session was nice and quiet. I've just looking around the new projects but there are no needs for translation, for the moment.14:32
ianychoieumel8, thank u14:34
eumel8hi ianychoi14:34
ianychoiOh our meeting time were changed? (Sorry I have not been following up for a while...)14:34
eumel8no, or I'm wrong. I want to change starting from next week :)14:35
ianychoiAh I see - fine with me14:35
eumel8I'm already confused with this summertime and wintertime stuff, but that will end next year14:36
eumel8nothing to say more about the Summit. Got some good input from UC about community work in Germany. That could be related to I18n. Also the work with Ops team get closer.14:38
eumel8latest since translation of Ops-Guide https://review.openstack.org/#/c/619455/ ;)14:38
eumel8the contributor guide is also translatable since yesterday, btw14:39
eumel8nt14:41
eumel8#topic: Future Team Meeting14:41
*** openstack changes topic to ": Future Team Meeting (Meeting topic: openstack_i18n_office_hour)"14:41
eumel8for the future of team meeting I've wrote a proposal to move back to team meeting format14:42
eumel8in a joint session with docs team14:42
ianychoi+114:42
Linkidgreat14:43
eumel8due the fact there is no feedback from docs team, I want to wait till next week14:44
Linkidthere meeting will be next week, I think14:45
Linkid"Every two weeks (on even weeks) on Wednesday"14:45
Linkidthey may discuss about that14:46
eumel8ah, thx, then maybe we move on one week later14:46
eumel8and hopefully I don't forget the docs meeting time ;)14:46
Linkidwait, I don't see any logs since June 201814:47
eumel8yeah, I checked also the log server yesterday and couln't found anything.14:48
eumel8it's broken or there wasn't a meeting what I can't believe14:49
eumel8I think we will see next week14:49
ianychoiokay14:50
ianychoiIMO Petr's opinion would be key14:51
eumel8yeah, maybe he's still in the bus to Brno ;)14:52
eumel8nt14:52
eumel8#topic: Future Translation Platform14:52
*** openstack changes topic to ": Future Translation Platform (Meeting topic: openstack_i18n_office_hour)"14:52
eumel8#link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/openstack-i18n/+spec/renew-translation-platform14:52
eumel8I've wrote this blueprint to be prepared for changing the translation platform.14:53
eumel8there is no Redhat Zanata team anymore and it wouldn't be come back after the IBM takeover14:53
eumel8the remaining Redhat guys in AU are working on a slightly different stuff (also with translation) but it's not clear if that would help us to find a new translation platform14:55
LinkidI think transifex were already used before14:57
LinkidAnd it was abandonned because it's not open source anymore14:57
eumel8yeah, the same thing can happen with Zanata14:58
toskyif I would guess, it's more likely that it's not going to be developed anymore14:58
toskytransifex story was different14:58
toskyeumel8: is there a reason to mention the standlone clients like poedit? They can always be used, most platforms allows you to download the po files14:59
eumel8there is no official statement from RedHat or IBM regarding Zanata14:59
jpichThere is still a chance that someone else picks up the project, but discussions around that are still on-going... but yeah no official word about the project15:00
eumel8tosky: Yes, I tried this the last days and it works pretty good. The worst case is to have no translation server anymore15:00
toskyeumel8: so I would add Lokalize to the list15:00
ianychoiI don't have any strong opinion right now on reviewing translation platforms and choosing a new translation platform instead of Zanata, but my feeling right now is that Zanata is still the best among lots of open source implementation for translation platforms.15:01
eumel8tosky: sure, feel free15:01
toskyI've heard good things about the mozilla one, but I didn't manage to test it yet15:01
ianychoiBefore than, I really want to know whethere exporting TM from Zanata is possible or not.15:01
ianychoiIf current TM in Zanata can be exported and imported to another translation platform, then I think we can go further on a new translation platform.15:02
eumel8ianychoi: you know, I want to go the next step in the direction of Machine Translation. And that wouldn't be possible if there are no developement on the platform anymore.15:02
ianychoieumel8, I understand but my first question is what I mentioned ^^ and the second is then how about MT support on other translation platforms?15:03
toskycan't the translation memory be rebuilt from the existing translations?15:03
eumel8any it's written in Java - so there is no chance to takeover the project here15:03
ianychoiI don't object sticking with Zanata but... for me, I don't have enough time investigating with literature research on translation platforms.15:04
ianychoiI support our positive and right direction, and I want to add that exporting TMs from current translate.o.o would be important.15:05
eumel8ianychoi: I made some tests but I don't have too much experience with TM. What I saw, there are some public platforms like EU governance with public TM files. Don't know how that can help us.15:05
ianychoieumel8, for example, I can see TM functionality in Zanata, but have not been able to find "how to export TMs" on current translate.o.o15:06
toskyI suspect that generic public TMs can't help too much with the very specialistic language used for our GUIs and documentation15:06
eumel8ianychoi: changing the platform is not super-urgent, but what I've wrote: we should be prepared. And it's a task in Train to think about it.15:06
ianychoieumel8, I agree with u. And I would like to add: changing from Transifex to Zanata would not be possible without the very kind and enormous help from Andreas, Elizabeth, Carlos, and Daisy, from my understanding, at least. Their work had initiated and had been working for about one year...15:08
ianychoieumel8, what I think right now is that: Is it possible to officially say from I18n PTL to OpenStack Foundation some messages like that "Zanata open source is not maintained any more, and I18n team needs help to Foundation. Can Foundation embrace Zanata in OpenStack Foundation ecosystem, or would Foundation help to ask Red Hat or IBM about direction on Zanata development and future"?15:10
ianychoiOr discussing with TC15:11
eumel8ianychoi: I know and we can use the knowledge what you collected over the years. Nevertheless there is no future for Zanata if the developement is stopped.15:12
jpichJust a note that there's no point in asking IBM anything at this point as the acquisition isn't finalised. All I can say is that there are people looking to find a new home for it at the moment, but with the end of year holiday period starting it's getting more difficult to reach people :) I'll poke again15:13
ianychoiAnd.. it would be very great if we find another nice use case on making use of a translation platform for open source development. What I can say from my experience now is that: 1) K8s: Translating .md files on GitHub directly 2) Ubuntu: using Launchpad translation functionality 3) Microsoft: Transifex for products & translating .md files on GitHub for documentation15:13
eumel8ianychoi: I don't see the point how OSF or TC can help for the moment.15:13
ianychoiSuch kind of literature search on use cases would be also great to choose a new translation platform.15:15
eumel8ianychoi: I don't need more translation stuff with a permanent lower case of the translation team. Our queue is mega full15:16
ianychoieumel8, for open source activities what I learned is: slow is better than going faster without open source-wide agreement.15:18
ianychoiI think I18n team can not choose a new translation platform easily within one release cycle. That's my point.15:19
eumel8jpich: Typical course of an acquisition. Don't do anything for at least a year ;)15:19
jpicheumel8: Not really anyone's decision at this point, from what I understand the governments/legal bodies need to put a stamp on approval on things before it can be official15:22
ianychoijpich, thanks a lot your mentioning on acquisition..15:22
eumel8ianychoi: we are talking about April/May 2019. From operations view, which is almost my view, if you haven't updates for your software since over one year, then it's dead. Maybe I come to early with my blueprint and you think we have to start migration next week.15:23
jpichSeems like the Train cycle is for "looking at options," and then the U cycle would be for "starting the migration to one of these options" if Zanata doesn't get any update by that time still15:24
jpich?15:25
ianychoieumel8, Are you the same as on jpich's mentioning on timeline?15:26
jpichI should have phrased it as more of a question :)15:26
eumel8yes, jpich is right15:28
ianychoieumel8, ah then that should be fine what I interpreted from https://blueprints.launchpad.net/openstack-i18n/+spec/renew-translation-platform were that I18n should change translation platform within T cycle..15:29
ianychoiLet's try to more discuss which translation platform for OpenStack world would be the best...15:30
eumel8ianychoi: yes, and I want to know which options we have.15:31
ianychoieumel8, jpich: Thanks a lot for your idea and clarification. I want to support and help such idea but I am not sure how much I can help. I really don't have enough time.15:31
jpichNo worries, ianychoi15:31
eumel8No worries, ianychoi15:32
ianychoijpich, eumel8: Thank u again, friends :)15:32
jpichAt this point if coming across existing translation platforms, just adding them to the list to be considered for the research next cycle would be good. And if we come across reports from other open-source projects who did comparisons etc15:32
jpichWe ran over time a bit... :-)15:33
ianychoijpich, eumel8: How about writing a white paper from I18n team, a title, for example, "Internationalizing Open Sources" like https://www.openstack.org/containers/leveraging-containers-and-openstack/ ?15:34
eumel8ianychoi: for that reason I don't want takeover the Zanata project into OpenStack community. You know it best if you looking for a new job like formely Zanata guys you don't have time to maintain an open source project15:34
eumel8jpich: I'm on holiday, I'm fine with the time ;)15:34
ianychoiIf we do literature research and summarize our contribution, then I think we can wrap up as one white paper on translation world.15:35
ianychoiIt would be a great impact on all open source world15:35
jpichianychoi: I suspect we'll look at the options that are best for our particular community's needs rather than such a massive review...15:35
jpicheumel8: Nice! :)15:35
eumel8ianychoi: good idea15:36
ianychoijpich, aha review.. good point15:36
ianychoiOr like https://www.openstack.org/edge-computing/cloud-edge-computing-beyond-the-data-center15:36
Linkidianychoi: I would be very interested to this sort of paper :)15:36
eumel8looks like a booksprint in the spring of 201915:37
ianychoi+1 :)15:37
Linkidbecause I looked for one tool for another open source project some months ago, but I didn't have a server to install something :/15:37
eumel8want to checkout sightseeings of Seoul15:37
ianychoieumel8, plz come to Seoul haha :)15:38
eumel8ianychoi: currently planing my trip to Denver. With some extra routes15:38
ianychoieumel8, LoL15:39
eumel8noticed, there are a lots of water between Seoul and Denver15:39
eumel8Linkid: what you want to test?15:40
ianychoiI need to leave...15:40
ianychoiSee u next time all :)15:40
eumel8I need to close the meeting15:40
eumel8cu ianychoi15:40
ianychoieumel8, cu :)15:40
ianychoijpich, Linkid see u :)15:41

eumel8ah, now we have time *g*15:41
Linkidand I found pootle and weblate too15:42
Linkidah, it's over :x15:42
toskyLinkid: they are both listed in the blueprint already15:42
jpichI think they're on the list in the blueprint :)15:43
Linkidyep15:43
eumel8Linkid yes, Pootle needs some extra work from CLI. has not so much feature like Zanata15:43
Linkidand in the past, I used Launchpad15:45
eumel8and it's written in python (Django) so would be maintainable by OpenStack Community15:45
Linkidyep, this is why I found it ^^15:45
jpichPontoon seems to be mostly Python as well, and I see a bunch of django requirements15:46
LinkidPootle is a big project, and it lives with others, btw15:47
toskyweblate is python too, for the record15:47
Linkidyep, Pontoon seems to be based on django15:47
Linkidand pontoon is a mozilla project :)15:49
eumel8translation server is good, if you're working in teams parallel on the same targets, so the platform taking care on merges15:55
