Catala


 * []CATALA

GOALS

 * Translate, verify, maintain and comunicate to the OSGeo board that all catala written content refering to the OSGeo is correct and acurate.


 * Coordinate/support OS mapping activities developed in catala.


 * Monitor that Local (Catalunya, Balears, Pais Valencia, Fraga?, Alguer?, Peripinya?) organizations associated to the OSGEO integrate the language in their areas' projects/activities where catala is present.

(ex: A Spanish based Foundation associated to the OSGEO which is hosting/supporting []OSGeo and/or standalone OS mapping Spanish Estate's based projects has to translate its web(and..) content to catala and accept to support it in their delegations in Catalunya, Balears and Pais Valencia.)

NEED

 * Mailing list(s)


 * cat.osgeo.org

Proposed content: -All available Catalan information about the OSGeo.org.

-Subregional groups(catala/[]PaisValencia/..), -List of related (MENTIONING CLEARLY THAT 'IS NOT OFFICAL' or simply not displaying) ongoing projects.

If europe.osgeo.org is to be, from cat.osgeo.org we will link to the categori(es) afecting us from there and expect link(s) back. Same if there's spain.osgeo.org, iberica.osgeo.org..

PROS

 * Meeting place for us
 * Gives more confidence for colaborating to the local people/groups because shows that osgeo.org is strongly comitted to suport all languages. (Catalan is a good example)
 * The group is to be more involved/caring about the global rules.(responsability and afraid to lose the subdomain)
 * Facilities for easier finding/getting potential resources from Spanish Estate based Foundations/etc.. which could be asociated with the global OSGeo.org.
