It was about time to tell how it was for me to participate in the fisl 9.0! As I said before, I made a presentation about the work of the Brazilian GNOME translation team, while Fernando Boaglio did the same for KDE. My presentation is available in SlideShare (in Portuguese).

That’s right, I’m the new coordinator of the Brazilian Portuguese localization team! I think of it as a result of my progessive involvement and dedication to the team through the last 2 and a half years.

I just found a plugin for Evolution to remove duplicate emails. Thanks, Carlos Garnacho! By the way, any change of moving this to GNOME’s FTP server, or maybe inside Evolution? I’d be more than happy to translate it, in exchange 
By the way, thanks for the tip, Juha K. Siltala!

I’m pretty busy recently. Last time I played this meme, my history was full of commands I use to review and commit translation.
No Translations
This year I’ll participate on the 9th FISL! The Free Software World Forum happens every year in Porto Alegre, the Brazilian city where the World Social Forum was born.
Brazilian KDE translation team coordinator Fernando Boaglio and I will make an overview of the translation proccess of KDE and GNOME. I don’t know about the other days, but April 19 I’ll be there for sure.

After I moved my stuff to a new hard disk, F-Spot couldn’t find my photos anymore. The path to the photos folder had changed, because I adopted a new user name. If you ever get yourself in this situation, here are some steps to fix the sqlite database.

I just improved Vim’s syntax highlighting for po files. Besides the features introduced last year, this version is now able to correctly highlight XML tags beginning in one line and ending in the next one. Vim will now spell check the value of specific attributes: abbr, alt, content, summary, standby e title. (This list was retrieved from the translate-toolkit source code.)

The GNOME 2.22 translation starts in two days! The Brazilian GNOME translation team is in a great phase, keeping GNOME’s interface completely translated and increasing the documentation translation. Furthermore, we are always enhancing old translations and improving our translation process. Know who’s who in this team which in the next months is going give GNOME 2.22 a translation as good as the amazing novelties in the RoadMap.

The same expression may be translated in many ways, depending on the context. GNOME already had its hack to specify context for original messages, but in the future GNOME will use GNU Gettext’s msgctxt. This way it will be much easier to understand the context in original messages, and we’ll be adopting the same syntax as (I believe) KDE 4.

I used to leave the computer working constantly, mainly to contribute to project Folding@Home (Fórum PCs team). Some days ago, however, Augusto Campos reported a 30% reduction in the electricity bill simply by not leaving the computer turned on 24/7 anymore. I tried putting my computer to hibernate, but my video card’s proprietary driver was impairing X restoration. I replaced it with the free driver, and since then I’m much happier for many reasons.
