Hi,

As I wrote earlier: you are all going to contribute to LibreOffice. How
about that? :)

thanks Mostafa,

Charles.

Oh LALA,
guys, this is very simple: just contribute libreoffice. If we've got
problem then we can do something. This is a New era in Office.

Hi,

I have never been involved with Ubuntu development. I don't know who
you
are
talking about, but in the list you shared, I see my friend and former
colleague, Reza Mohammadi, who is now a part of the FarsiTel team. Are
you
sure you are not mistaking me with someone else?

I am glad to see that Hossein is so keen to contribute. It will
hopefully
mean that we will have a more active team. I am only hoping that we
don't
let the quality drop, stick to standards, and have more inclusive
approach
to volunteers.

I haven't looked at his contributions, but I am sure we could work
together
and discuss should a disagreement occur.

Cheers,
Farzaneh.

Dear Charles,

To be honest, I have no problem with cooperation, but project
history
has
shown that this is not the case. I want to translate, code, and bug
hunt
without thinking about management issues, but when I see the current
management forbids any progress, I think I should be bold and say
what
I
know.

I suggest you to see what Farsiweb guys did at Ubuntu Launchpad,
which
has
a
translation tool called Rosetta. Me and others started translating
there,
but after a while, a guy from Farsiweb who was  the owner of the
localization project, removed other members and forced all the
translations
to be marked as suggestions, and they were never incorporated in the
main
translations.
This created a lot of criticism from members of technotux, a major
Persian
language linux community:

I think these kind of policies does not create any progress.

Perhaps you could work together? I believe the Persian
Native-Language
Project of OpenOffice.org led by Farsiweb was the first
native-lang
community to support LibreOffice the very day of its opening


*As I remember, I was the guy who promised to work on Persian
localization
at LibreOffice IRC, on the opening day. Don't you remember
"Hossein"?*

Also we do tend to acknowledge past contributions in the
OpenOffice.org
project.


That seems reasonable, but there is nothing as the contribution to
the
project, by FarsiWeb. They just locked the project for 6 years, and
I'm
afraid that the same thing will happen for LibreOffice. I don't want
to
wait
6 or 10 years from now to see a localized version of LibreOffice.

Why did you forked OpenOffice? The very same reason holds for
Persian
team
of OpenOffice, who no longer want to be under supervision of a group
that
blocks contributions from people, and does not care about the
project.

If this is not enough, I can forward you my communications with
OpenOffice
guys.

Hi,

Thanks for your attention, but I'm really against giving the
coordination of this project to Mrs. Sarafraz and FarsiWeb Inc.,
the
company that took over fa.openoffice.org and did nothing within
6
years, from 2005 until now, near end of 2010.

Some time in 2005, Meelad Zakaria, a member of Farsiweb ltd.
requested for adding Persian locale for OpenOffice.


http://native-lang.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=4443
I asked Meelad to add me to the project, so I could contribute
in
localizing OpenOffice.org, About 1 month after receiving my
message,
he just added me as an observer. I sent him other messages
regarding
the status of the project, and I asked him "what he'll do", but
I
couldn't get an appropriate answer from him. After a lot of
effort,
and warnings from OpenOffice guys because of locking the
project,
he
added me as a developer.

Some time later, I saw the Persian localized version of Linux
from
Farsiweb ltd. that contained Persian OpenOffice.org.
http://www.farsiweb.ir/wiki/Main_Page
It seems that Meelad registered as the project leader of
OpenOffice.org, and then stopped the job, because they wanted
their
Persian version of OpenOffice.org to be unique.
Now, after about 6 years, you see no progress in the project.

After that, I decided to devote my time on fixing i18n bugs (my
username is "h15n" there), and I think my efforts was helpful
for
OO.o users. Fixing problems with justified Persian
text<http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=28203>,
and including context shaping of
numbers<http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=98418>,
was vital for the real world usage of OpenOffice, and I'm happy
to
continue spending my time on
it<http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=100940>.
Please
tell me one useful thing that FarsiWeb did during past 6 years,
rather than locking the project?

Please note that farsilinux.ir is not a personal website. I
registered this domain, for the sole purpose of localization of
open
source software, including LibreOffice. Please don't point to
fa.openoffice.org, as it's just a 2 page Persian translation of
some
pages from English OOo which was copied after a lot of questions
raised about FarsiWeb policies. Copying those 2 pages won't take
a
lot of time.

I don't want to continue this talk, but if it's needed, I can
forward
my communications with guys at OpenOffice.org for further
insight
on
FarsiWeb policies against contribution of interested people.
They
just sign up as the project owner and disappear.

I'm currently a PhD. candidate at computer department of
Amirkabir
University of Technonlogy <http://ceit.aut.ac.ir>, and I've
spent
many years on development of localized Persian software. Because
of
this, I think I can handle the coordination of this project.
Furthermore, I have no plan to use my position as a way to gain
financial benefits. In fact, I really care about this project,
as
I've spent a lot of time for it before.

I've talked to some members of fa.openoffice.org before planing
to
be
the coordinator of the Persian localization of LibreOffice and
they
are also against making FarsiWeb the coordinator. I've started
working on farsilinux.ir, and I think soon we'll have a great
place
where we can welcome anyone (even FarsiWeb guys) who wants to
contribute to LibreOffice.

Hi,

We already have a homepage at fa.openoffice.org. I also have
a
local full recent backup of the data there. Thanks, Hossein
for
showing interest in the
fa_IR project, but I think you should put a link to the page
we
already have
rather than a non-existing external personal (?) page.

I'll fix it for now until we move the page over to
libreoffice.
