 So it's five people yeah, there is exactly five more than last year So welcome to my talk again about federal station. It was a guy now. My name is Siri Eshmann if you don't know me Yeah, no, can you hear me? Oh, yeah So I've been federal ambassador for the last seven years and I've been Pretty much leading This project that puts the federal workstation users guide even though I'm not really a dog specialist Basically The history of that is that it was originally written in check by Lukash Kotek one of the community members in the Czech Republic three years ago We at that time were discontinuing the the DVDs which were like a typical Hand out to or give away to people at at conferences It's a there's sort of incentive that would make them look into federal once they get home but yeah, nowadays no one really has DVD drive and And USB flash drives are still too expensive to to give away in larger quantities So we came up with something like this It was first as a pilot released in September 2015 in Czech so first we wanted to try how it's gonna work in the like a smaller Czech community And then if it really has positive feedback, then we would translate it into English Which we did in the end the English then became the the new origin Last year in March we moved to Pazure from from github We changed bending to Fedora workstation originally it was Jen generic book like about Fedora even though the content was basically about Fedora workstation But Matthew Miller wanted us to to bend it as Fedora workstation book The first English release was in July 2017 and then we produced the books these books in September 2017 So the goal as I as I mentioned is a giveaway And it should help people learn about Fedora workstation install it and started using it. So basically the The scope is from knowing nothing about Fedora Through where to get it how to install it how to start using it how to get familiar with with the OS so the book is written quite in a generic way So it doesn't have to be updated any every every release it's teaches the the user The person or potential user about the values of Fedora how it Get installed how? Where to find applications, etc. So how we how it actually works. It's it's still not part of Fedora dogs for various reasons I I'm hoping that it it gets adopted In some way, but I haven't really had time to Talk about that with the Fedora dogs people So as I said, it's hosted on Peugeot. We've got right now. We've got two benches So master that's the that's where we work on the the next version And then once we are happy with the next version, which we Ideally we'd like to release one version a year At least for the origin then we bench it to a stable Bench called by that year. So you've got right now 2017 once 2018 is finished and we will create 2018 The sources are in in ASCII dog Scapes that we have there like simple scripts generate a dog book HTML PDF the PDF is just the for the preview purposes and then we have one volunteer in in Beno office a lot into Tech and latex and he then he spends a few days on that and produces Our paint quality PDF as you can look at it the the types that thing is is pretty nice in done in latex that's I think the the most Painful part of the process because that can't really be Automated to to generate early nice results And that person says he can do it for English and check because he knows that the typesetting goes etc But he can't really do it for every or any other Language so basically even if people Produce like the the digital Versions in their language Translate it and there still needs to be someone who does the The manual typesetting in latex produces the print quality PDF and then finds like a printer where you can When you can print it so basically that's the reason why we have only produced the check and English version Even though right now we've got missing. I think translation to Spanish actually the Venezuelan that's you okay great. Thanks for translations, but I Would I would like to hear if there if there is any way how to do to small steam line this process I even offer that we have a we have a good Relationship with one printing agency actually the owner is a big fan big Linux fan and user and he even gives us Like a pretty good price like to pay to print this book. It's about 50 50 dollar cents, which I think is pretty fine because for example the DVD was like 35 40 dollar cents While if you want to produce for example usb flash disk that's like at least two three four dollars and None of them are very very reliable. So basically those are I'm not sure if you can see it Yeah, but you can find it on Peugeot. It's in the the ambassadors Garou for project and the project is called Fedora handbook We haven't really integrated with any With any translation system I'm originally I was not very open to that for one reason that usually those those systems are more designed for translating software and they usually break the the text into strings or paragraphs and So that the translators don't really usually see the whole text and only see parts of it And once they translate it by paragraphs that usually the result is not that good. So originally I was I was quite against that and I the way I wanted the translators to work on it is basically just For the depot create Folder or the directory that is named after the code of their language Copied the English content there and made basic translate the the content of ASCII files if if any like if Someone comes up and says like let's let's for example integrated with with Zanata and Utterly against that anymore If it stems line and streamlines the process and makes it easier for people because as I said like this way like it was Basically proof that it doesn't fly very well getting just one one translation and that's That's basically all from What I wanted to say and the reason why I Proposed this talk is more about getting feedback and maybe talking about how to how to do it better because as I said it's basically I as a project leader of this came out of necessity that it came from ambassadors project, but none of the original people in that are Dogs people so maybe we are doing something fairly wrong that or stuff that can be improved Either in the process or how it's how it's produced or even the content itself That's another thing. I'd like to for example here a feedback from you if there is anything you really really miss It's the goal or scope of it. It shouldn't really be like a complete User guide to Fedora, but it really it should really cover the the journey from hearing About Fedora for the first time and installing it and getting familiar with that. So it shouldn't be really like a complete Guide where to set things etc. Basically just you know to get the user to the point where he's sort of familiar with with the system Also, we want to make it Too large. Let's say I think right now. It's about 33 pages so it could be a bit longer, but then it If it gets over for example 50 pages, then it gets also more expensive to print So when I think So it's on page or and if you look for for example Fedora Dash handbook it should get At first I was very excited to have a handbook because it's really useful for for newcomers to have a guy that teach them how to go through the system, but You know, I was working in the translation, but I stopped it because the English translation wasn't ready So it's ready now to start working against translations the other thing I want to ask is I Know Sanita is a great project to translation, but I think it's not the best way to apply here because There is no way that Sanita will produce an ASCII dog as output So you will be able to translate every paragraph, but you are going to receive an HTML file. I think Not not an ASCII dog file. So you are not be able to test the PDF printing from the Sanita that's a way I understand maybe I'm wrong, but because I have a project in Sanita But I want to the the HTML file and it works for me. So No, the question is the English translation is ready to be translated to another languages Because when the time I get stop the Spanish translation was because of that because it's not ready to start the English version So I like I like to have the English version done for this year in a month or two So once once we are fine or okay with the English version We will just make that the bench again. I know that I Haven't even pushed the changes I made into Into the repository yet. So basically I was waiting for this for this meeting like people look at and I threw the book like Just for the new may you want to take a look for the new camera? Okay, it is online
