=== cvsl10n Sponsorship and Listing of Sponsors ===
=== Dimitris Glezos selected to the Fedora Board ===


As a follow-up to the ongoing discussion about the "cvsl10n" sponsorship procedure, [[NorikoMizumoto]] and [[IgorSoares]] have  put together a page[1][2] with the name of the Administrators and Sponsors of the "cvsl10n" group. [[IgorSoares]] suggested the formation of language groups to ease the sponsorship and an aging policy for unattended requests[3]. [[RunaBhattacharjee]] suggested if a patch to the existing FAS interface as possible, that would allow addition of the language name when a new member sends a request to join the FLP[4]. [[ChristianRose]] also suggested a patch for damned-lies that would allow addition of the "sponsor" information directly on the team's page[5].
The current chair of the Fedora Localization Steering Comittee (FLSCo), [[DimitrisGlezos]] has been selected to the Fedora Board[1].

[[RichardHughes]], the maintainer of Packagekit announced that a new version of the package would be released in a couple of weeks and this version would be included in Fedora 11. He mentions that quite a few popular languages do not have complete translations at the moment. Translators can mail the packagekit mailing list for queries regarding translateable strings[4].

[[AnkitPatel]] started a discussion about the availability of a branching process in the VCS for Fedora packages, to provide for backporting of translations[7]. [[MiloslavTrmac]] suggested submitting patches in bugzilla for such cases, as upstream packages generally do not branch out for versions in the distributions[8]. Linking up the translation interface with an automated bug sumission process was suggested by [[AsgeirFrimansson]] as a possible solution[9]. Discussions still continue, listing merits and demerits of the possibility of large scale backporting via bugzilla and separation of the translations from the packages.
