Re: [babel-dev] Babel @ EclipseCon
|
Stefan,
Kit and I have given this type of talk in the past[1]. Having two (or
three) speakers will definitely create a more interesting dynamic.
There are essentially four topics I'd like to cover:
1. Introduction to Eclipse globalization (message files, how it all
works). You probably know more about this than I do, but we can both
share some slides.
2. The Babel server, the language packs, the pseudo translations. This
would be my area.
3. The messages editor, TapiJi. This would be your area
4. The Future of Babel @ Eclipse. Here we could briefly talk about the
possibilities of linking the messages editor to the server, the future
of the plugins, etc.
This is the slide deck of a talk that Kit gave in 2008. We can likely
recycle lots of the content and update it for 2013.

Also, these two abstracts can likely serve as a starting point for our
abstract:
http://www.eclipsecon.org/2008/?page=sub/&id=269
http://www.eclipsecon.org/2009/sessions?id=504
Stefan, if you want, I can draft up the abstract and post it here for
your edits. Then I (or yourself) can submit the talk. Does that seem ok?
Kit, will you be joining us at ECon in Boston?

[1] I don't think I'll ever forget Nigel Westbury's funny response: "We
can mail you the translations on a diskette" to someone who asked how to
contribute without an Internet connection.

Denis,
we would be definitely be interested in doing a joint talk with you on
Babel and getting the news out to the community about the progress in
the Babel plugins area. From a current perspective I should be able to
attend Eclipse Con 2013 in March and I am fairly sure that Martin
would like to join as well ;)
I think we could talk both about the new features and enhancements of
the babel plugins, the general direction where we see it moving and
some ideas and/or concepts of general translation work (e.g. how to
better support translator - developer colaboration).
Anyway, how do you want to proceed from here? Do you want to go
straight at the required abstract or should we first start with a
general outline of the talk and then condense it into the abstract later?
Thanks,
Stefan

Greetings,
I was thinking of proposing a Babel talk at EclipseCon 2013, in
March. My talk would have focused on the server and community
translations, but it would be much more interesting if I could have
one or two co-speakers to talk about the plugins and about
globalization techniques at a general level.
Is anyone interested in joining me for a Babel talk @ EclipseCon?
Thanks
Denis
