    I'm delighted to hear that you will be able to help with the Chinese
    translations.<br>

    You will find the process for translating explained here:

        sounds like a perfect starting point for me and my team to get

        pages to be translated and we can go from there. If you, Song,

              <br>
              It is very kind of you to offer your services to help with
              FOSS4G and OSGeo. I'm not sure if you have already been
              recruited into the service of FOSS4G?<br>
              <br>
              If you still have some spare volunteer time, one thing
              which Song, Wang Jing have started, as part of running
              FOSS4G in Beijing, is to translate the OSGeo-Live [1]
              documentation into Chinese.<br>
              This documentation provides a comprehensive high level
              overview of the best Open Source Geospatial applications.
              And the OSGeo-Live DVD is handed out at geospatial
              conferences and workshops around the world, including at
              FOSS4g in Beijing.<br>
              <br>
              Amy,<br>
              If you have the skills to translate into Chinese, then it
              would be hugely valuable if you and your team could extend
              Song and Wang's initial translations to be more
              comprehensive.<br>
              <br>
              Are you interested?<br>

                      &gt; Dear all,<br>
                      &gt;<br>
                      &gt; We are sorry about our slow progress in
                      comparison with the timeline that we set up in
                      February. The current problem is caused by the
                      delay of our online conference management system.
                      About two months ago, we made a contract with a
                      company for system development. But our testing on
                      this system showed that there were some problems
                      on the payment part in registry system, and the
                      abstract submission system also did not run well.
                      For safety, we have to postpone the registry and
                      call for papers.<br>
                      &gt;<br>
                      &gt; Now we are urging the development company to
                      speed up, meanwhile we are trying to find an
                      alternative company as soon as possible. We hope
                      to fix it next week. The following is a draft
                      about our progress.<br>
                      &gt; (1) We have signed the contract with Beijing
                      Conference Center to be the conference venue.(Late
                      February)<br>
                      &gt; (2) We negotiated with Beijing Conference
                      Center and achieved an about 10% discount on the
                      hotel (4~5 star level) for the participants who
                      pay through the payment system set up by LOC.
                      (Late February)<br>
                      &gt; (3) The conference committees have been
                      established (Middle March)<br>
                      &gt; (4) We have got three Chinese sponsors,
                      including Supermap, LREIS, CAS. And several others
                      are under contacting.<br>
                      &gt; (5) About 40% of OSGeo-Live Docs have been
                      translated into Chinese to promote OSGeo software
                      in China. Both English and Chinese versions are
                      expected to be handed out in FOSS4G 2012.<br>
                      &gt; (6) The Foreign Liaison Office of Chinese
                      Academy of Sciences has granted LOC to invite
                      foreign participants. (Early April)<br>
                      &gt; (7) We had a meeting with Prof. John P.
                      Wilson, the editor-in-chief of TGIS on 12th April,
                      and he would continue to support FOSS4G-2012
                      academic paper publishing (Thank Kobben and Helena
                      for their past works).<br>
                      &gt; By the way, Dr. Ntin-Tripathi, the
                      editor-in-chief of International Journal of
                      Geoinformatics, has also agreed to support one
                      special issue. He will be in Beijing in early May,
                      and we can further fix the details.<br>
                      &gt; (8) We will update the information of keynote
                      speakers to foss4g 2012 website soon.<br>
                      &gt;<br>
                      &gt; We apologize about our work again. Once the
                      registry system is well done, we will catch up our
                      schedule fast.<br>
                      &gt;<br>
                      &gt; Best regards,<br>
                      &gt; Ang Gao<br>
