L10N bootcamp MX 2014
Category Firefox OS, Localization
Description This event is organized by a lot of awesome reps: Jeff Beatty Odin Mojica Julio Gomez Luis Sanchez
objective: 1) The es-MX l10n team lacks organization and education about the process and the tools used in performing l10n tasks. This is mostly because it has been in rebuilding for a period of time. 2) The es-MX l10n team is now dispersed between two countries: Mexico and the U.S. They need to meet and work together in person to determine the future of l10n. 3) Native language l10n teams in Mexico also lack training with Pootle and l10n process. Those who see becoming an official release of Firefox also need guidance to begin to move towards that goal.
