There's the NetHui on this coming week in NZ and there's a specific "M<a href="http://nethui.org.nz/programme/maori-meetup" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;text-decoration:none;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;line-height:13px" target="_blank"><font color="#333333">ā</font></a>ori meetup" stream going on. Perhaps that would be a place to promote the idea if someone is going?<br>

<div dir="ltr"><br><div class="gmail_extra">As a number of the issues noted by the NZ testing crew have to do with a need for additional (or improved) Maori translation, I was wondering if there was anyone in NZ or OZ that feels like helping to recruit Maori L10n volunteers?<br>

I understand that Barry had gone out-of-pocket for the L10n we currently have, but in the end of the day, we really need to build a sustainable and active Maori L10n team of volunteers to keep the strings current and address issues as they arise.<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I simply can't do this on my own, but if someone is brave enough to cold-contact Maori translators and try to recruit them to volunteer, I have attached a list of certified Maori translators that I found on a website a while back.<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I don't want to step on OLPC-AU's toes or interfere with any efforts they might have underway, and I know it is not easy to get people to give away something they get paid to do (translate), but there has to be a chance that someone on the attached list will embrace what OLPC is trying to do in Maori and be willing to donate some of their precious time and skill. It is a matter of developing a compelling story in the request for their help and actually asking them. <br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">If any localizers are recruited, they will need to contact me (<a href="mailto:cjl@sugarlabs.org" target="_blank">cjl@sugarlabs.org</a> or <a href="mailto:cjl@laptop.org" target="_blank">cjl@laptop.org</a>) with a preferred username so I can set up an account on Pootle for the m. We used to have self-service sign-on, but some nasty forum spamming robots had started creating and activating accounts, so we had to revert to manual registration to protect our precious translations.<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Is there anyone willing to step up to make the ask (assuming OLPC-OZ doesn't say no)?<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">cjl<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">
