I joined some time ago, but forgot to send in an
introduction. I already have been sponsored for necessary
groups.
So far I've only concentrated on translating basic Fedora
files through Transifex, I have contributed and coordinated
translation efforts in various projects, mostly KDE but also
LP/Ubuntu, Gnome and Translationproject.
Much of my work has been around proofreading and making
translations a bit more homogeneous/unified, using the same
vocabulary sets in Gnome and KDE. For that kind of work it's
quite evident that web interfaces like Launchpad are totally
inadequate; SVN access permits to search for certain terms
through a bunch of .po files at once. I use mostly Kbabel
and its translation memory.
After 8 years on various linuxes using open source software
and trying to get other people to use such software, I
sometimes give lectures on OSS and occasionally give
companies/institutions advice on how to manage transition
towards open software (biased towards the user experience).
I can't say the demand has been overflowing in the past, but
these days it seems more people are starting to think about
such matters.
