Re: [babel-dev] Babel @ EclipseCon
|
Denis,
sorry for the late reply... Concerning the topics: in 1 i would like to
extend beyond the scope of Eclipse globalization, as TapiJI (and now the
Babel plugins) clearly go beyond. Maybe we can also talk a litte about
common problems when developing internationalised software etc... In
addition, what do you think about doing a short (5 min) live demo of
some of the new plugin features?
* Here's some of the slides we used for a demo camp presentation in late
2010 (we also did a talk in 2011, but i think we do not have the slides
online. I'll see that I can get them to you)
http://de.slideshare.net/martinreiterer/tapiji-am-eclipse-democamp
* A Demo Video we have done for our (declined) EclipseCon 2012 submission:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gDQeeIR5eU
* We are currently working on two DemoCamp presentations (Vienna and
Copenhagen). I am quite sure we can reuse some of our content from there.
Anyway, if you could do a first draft of the abstract, that would be great.
thank you
Stefan
PS: What do you think of proposing an additional BoF to discuss the
Babel Project and our next steps? I tried finding on the eclipsecon web
page how to do that, but couldn't find anything.

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.
http://www.eclipsecon.org/2008/sub/attachments/Introduction_to_the_Eclipse_Babel_Project.ppt
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
