[Spanish] Fwd: [Live-demo] Language support for the Live Project

[Oscar Fonts]

Buenas,

Más tela!!

Hay un equipo en OSGeo encargado de mantener un LiveDVD con la
colección preinstalada de proyectos de OSGeo. En los FOSS4Gs se
entrega una copia a cada asistente, y se usa como base para talleres y
demos. Ya está programada la versión 4, a punto para el FOSS4G 2010.
Se están planteando editar una versión multilingüe, empezando por una
traducción al español. Si quereis echar una mano activamente,
presentaos por la lista de "live-demo":

> Live-demo mailing list
> Live-demo en lists.osgeo.org
> http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/live-demo

Salud,

Oscar.

Oscar,
Good to hear.

It would be good if a few Spanish translators stepped forward to help
translate the docs for the next release, and tried to identify all the
issues involved with supporting another language.

Note, I don't expect the English docs to be ready for a couple of
weeks, but it would be good to do a test run and provide feedback.

Please forward this message onto whomever you think would be
interested, and suggest they join the live dvd email list.
