[IAEP] [SLOB] Yoruba i18n motion

[David Ally]

Dear Oversight board members please vote YES for us. We can follow up with sourcing for more funding locally for other languages if this can go through.

Thanks for taking care of Nigeria's need, but we have so many languages here..we hope this would be a big success, that would pave the way for us to push for more work locally here.

Regards!

David

 At today's
 Sugar Labs oversight board meeting [1], we discussed the
 motion submitted by Chris Leonard to fund a program for
 translation of Sugar into Yoruba, one of the three main
 languages spoken in Nigeria. I second the motion and bring
 it to you in an email vote.
 Members of the oversight board,
 please reply to this email solicitation for a vote on the
 following motion.
 
 Motion: To fund a program to
 initiate the translation of Sugar into Yoruba. The specific
 milestones and costs are detailed below. A description of
 the rationale for the project is found at [2]. The work
 would be led by Samson Goddy and reviewed by Chris Leonard,
 in his role as Translation Community
 Manager.
 This proposal is for the
 translation of Sugar user interface andcertain
 Sugar Activities into the Yoruba language (ISO-639 code -
 yo).
 Milestone 1 - The
 initial payment of $350 USD will cover startup
 costs(internet connection fees, localizer
 recruitment/training, etc.).Payment is to be made
 upon successful completion of
 contractualarrangements with fiscal sponsor
 (SFC).
 Milestone 2 -
 Glucose - Payable upon completion and upload to
 Pootleof the PO files for sugar,
 sugar-toolkit-gtk3, OLPC_switch_desktopwill be
 for $1,350 USD. Included in this milestone is a $300
 USDproject management fee, in addition to fees of
 approximately 40cents/word for the projects
 included in this milestone.  The uploadedfiles
 must pass all "critical" error checks (as flagged
 by the Pootlesoftware) and be approved by the
 Sugar Labs Translation CommunityManager, such
 approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
 Milestone 2 must be completed prior
 to Milestone 3.
 Milestone 3 - Fructose - Payable

 Calculate, Chat, ImageViewer, Jukebox, Log, Paint,
 Pippy,Portfolio, Read, ReadETexts, Record, Speak,
 Terminal, TurtleArt, Web,Write will be for $2,300
 USD. Included in this milestone is a $675
 USDproject management fee, in addition to fees of
 approximately 40cents/word for the projects
 included in this milestone.  The uploadedfiles
 must pass all "critical" error checks (as flagged
 by the Pootlesoftware) and be approved by the
 Sugar Labs Translation CommunityManager, such
 approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
 Total anticipated costs for all
 three milestone payments will be $4,000 USD.
 All projects are hosted on the Sugar
 Labs Pootle server at
 http://translate.sugarlabs.org/yo/
 Translation may be performed
 off-line with subsequent upload to thePootle
 server.
