Mozilla Philippines Localization Team MozCoffee 28 JAN 2012
As I was recently appointed Localization Lead for the Firefox Aurora Tagalog translation efforts of the Mozilla Philippines Community. Two (02) weeks ago, I called for a MozCoffee event to all interested individuals to participate in the Tagalog Firefox project. The meeting was actually held this afternoon at McCafe Greenbelt 1; iced (or hot) mocha was on us!
Upon registration, each of the attendees received their coffee stub, which entitles them to a free hot or cold McCafe Mocha …
It was a very fruitful initial meeting, seeing old and new faces within the local IT circle. Most of them were not that aware of the localization (translation) efforts being made for Mozilla products, more particular: Firefox.
Thanks to the awesome people of McDonald’s Greenbelt 1! They managed to reserve a corner of their busy branch to accommodate the meeting attendees.
All those present during the meeting went home with some swags sent by Mozilla HQ (you are all awesome!).
We are now in the planning stage for the next meeting sometime middle of February this year. I’m thinking of having a hands-on type of walk-through about the Narro. Please do watch out for this event. Details will be posted in this blog soon.
If you want to be part of the Mozilla Philippines Localization Team, you may join our Facebook Group {tagalogfirefox@groups.facebook.com} and be sure to follow @TagalogFirefox in Twitter. Mabuhay!
Join Us at #mozilla-ph IRC Channel
Wow! I can’t remember the last time I actually had logged-in to an IRC network not until tonight. I got a message from the Mozilla Philippines Community Manager that the rest of the gang are online at #mozilla-ph but I was mobile that time.
The moment I logged into my desktop machine, I immediately searched for the chatroom using Mibbit. If you’re the type of person who’s always on the go but don’t have a laptop, then Mibbit is for you. It’s a web-based IRC client. To join us online, simply use the following settings in Mibbit:
Or, you may opt to install ChatZilla as an add-on to our favorite web browser, Firefox:
If want to be more sentimental, you can always download and install mIRC on your Windows machine.
Enjoy and see you all online! Join us and help improve Mozilla products the Filipino way.
The Power of 3 for the 2012 Success
Having two hour time for a business meeting would be enough but not with our community meet up that we have to continue the discussion online in the mailing list. The first meet up of the year last January 13, 2011 at Racks Restaurant in Festival Supermall, Alabang started by 6:30pm until 9:00pm.
We defined three areas to concentrate this year, and these are: localization, developer and engagement. I consider these to be the Power of 3 for our success this year. Here are the roles accepted by those in attendance during the meeting. My apologies for not being online during the meeting, two of the USB broadband sticks has no signal in the area.
| Localization Team | Developer Team | Engagement Team |
|---|---|---|
| Robert Bob Reyes | Kevin John Ventura | Kemuel Joseph Domanog |
| RenRen Gabas | Jean Austin Rodriguez | Allan Caeg |
| Juned Sonido | Daryl Abulencia | Melchor Compendio |
This is just the initial list of volunteers so you can join any of these based on your interest, for our shared goals you can check out the minutes of the meeting on Google Docs prepared by Kevin Ventura for more information. If you have any suggestion on how to contribute please feel free to contact us.
Indeed a very fruitful meet up with positive response to all the challenges coming this year. Thanks to all who attended the meeting and supporters of Mozilla Philippines.
