Live GIS Disc Press Release 36

=Two weeks to translate OSGeo-Live documents=

24 January 2013

OSGeo-Live 6.5 Project Overviews and Quickstarts are mostly complete, and we are calling on help to translate these documents over the next two weeks, by 11 February 2013.

The translation details are linked from here: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#Translate

Basically:
 * 1) Documents ready to translate are marked as "6.5final" in our status spreadsheet.
 * 2) Currency of translations is determined from subversion timestamps is kept here: http://adhoc.osgeo.osuosl.org/livedvd/translation_status.html
 * 3) Process for translation is explained here: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Translate

This process has hopefully been simplified from prior releases, by replacing our prior Translation Spreadsheet by our constantly maintained Translation status sheet. However, translators are welcome to make use of whatever process works best for your community.
