Hi translations coordinators,

You are probably aware of this spec to create localized ISOs:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-cd-localization

In a nutshell, language packs are going away from the main Ubuntu ISO
(as you know, we could never include them all anyway), and instead,
we're providing LoCos with a standard set of tools to create ISOs which
not only can be shipped with a given language enabled and installed by
default, but also allow setting other defaults appropriate for the given
language.

At this point, I'd like to ask if any of you guys would be willing to
test the first prototypes of the localized images for your language.
I've just drafted a page to coordinate this process.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/LocalizedImagesRollout

Note that the FAQ is still in a pretty crude state, as the actual
project is to be completed by release date and thus it is still in
progress. Therefore, if you've got any questions, please feel free to
ask and we'll try to answer and include them in the FAQ. Please do read
the spec first, as your question might already be answered there.

This is not anything private, I will extend the call for localized ISO
testers/owners to the translators list (or directly to the translators
of our biggest languages) at some point, but at right now I'd like to
first reach out for a set of persons knowledgeable and very involved in
the translations proces to be the testers of the prototype ISOs.

So if you'd like to contribute to the ISO image for your language,
please add yourself to the table in the wiki page.

Thanks!

Regards,
David.
