Dear Bengali translators,

Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) will be a LTS (long term support) release,
scheduled on 26th April. Usually, Canonical renders 3 years support for
LTS version's of Ubuntu.

We all know Ubuntu comes in Bengali language along with many other.
Unfortunately, Bengali was not fully localised language for 11.10
official release. Languages without 80% translations are not official.
Currently the Bengali localization is staying on 74% (may vary, cause
individuals continuously translating through launchpad).

Ankur[0] have been translating Ubuntu along with lots of other open
source projects, but still we cannot achieve the percentage to be an
official language of Ubuntu 12.04. We are running just couple of
thousands strings behind. An effort from a group of 10 for an entire day
would boost our effort and Bengali will achieve the 80% milestone. Let
us push the Bengali translation to reach the 80% milestone to make our
Language included with the Ubuntu 12.04 official release.

To accomplish this Ankur is going to arrange a day long "Translation
Sprint for Ubuntu 12.04 (precise)" on 16th March, 2012. To participate,
you have to fill this (http://bit.ly/AnkurSprinter10) form. Due to
limited seating capacity in Ankur's office, the Ankur localization team
will choose a group of 10 participants from the applicants.

Participants will get gifts from Ankur.

1. A polo T-Shirt
2. A Cap
3. A Mug
4. A certificate of participation

(Participants from outside of Dhaka will be given Travel assistance).

So, hurry up make yourself one of the "Sprinter 10"
