Hi Pravin,

I can do it between 3PM UTC and 10PM UTC during weekdays, as well as mornings or evenings in the weekends.

Nice.  Lets do it on 25th Feb 2016,  2100 UTC. So 7am BNE and 2am for IST.

I have created agenda page. [1]  Please add more points. 

Thanks,
Pravin Satpute

Unfortunately, that means there's no way to fit a US timezone without trying it on a Saturday maybe.

Hi Jobava,

You have started this thread at perfect moment. We are having bi-weekly G11N meeting focused on Translation+Zanata. We missed last Traslation+Zanata meeting and must have one this week. We have lots of topics. few are..
1. Fedora 24 test days
2. Translation badges
3. Topics specific to priority translations.
4. Zanata login stuff

Thanks for your replies so far. Would one of these meetings work at maybe 4PM UTC, which is 5PM Central-Europe (6PM for me), 8PM India and 12PM Japan? This is unworkable for US people, so maybe a separate timeframe for EU-US.

Agree with you. We need to find suitable time for EU-US so more contributors can join. Since its either bi-weekly or monthly will try our best to join :) Or even if we are not there we can follow logs and comment on list :)

Sat/Sun may be difficult. Please select any time on Wed/Thu/Fri suitable for EU-US and update here on list for this week.  Will join it.
 

There could also be an Ambassador or Participation-related aspect to L10n, which I see is not yet being pushed in the Fedora communities. Translation is also a lower barrier to entry and can be a tool for onboarding people and getting them to have an impact directly and visibly.

+1

This is good idea too, so that translators can discuss only emea
specific matter if any. Please count me in if this happens. How much
level of demand exist?

One thing to do may be to mass-email people who contributed on Zanata
(or even the old Transifex contributors) to get them on board. I suspect
many of them have no idea and have no communication channel to the rest
of the community.

All Fedora translators are basically required to take 'join' steps,
which includes subscription of this trans at list ML and any local
mailing list, just like you :-)

Therefore any of translators,  who used to contribute in Transifex as
Fedora Localization team, who moved from Transifex to Zanata, and who
joined as new recently, all should receive this mail posted in trans at
lists.

There are #fedora-l10n channel and #fedora-g11n channel on freenode. We
might be living in smaller world than we imagine? hehehe

Thanks.

     It is expected to be auto-approved, there might be something wrong in

     Thank you so much for raising this point!
     This is one of our most concerns. We were trying to find good time but
     could not hear much suggestion from emea area.
     I myself like to come up and join the meeting when the time suits you,
     and know many of us are feeling same. Please name the day and the time
     (in UTC), so we can start from there (and give adjustment if needed).

     This is my personal preference but like to reserve my Sat/Sun for my
     family. But majority like, I will join.

Hello,

No problems for me to try a new schedule to see if there is more contributors.

Do you have an idea of specific EMEA subjects or subjects you would like to discuss about and can't at the moment ?

"mass email people who contributed on Zanata" can be a good idea to annonce a particular test day, but I'm not sure about doing that for an IRC meeting.

Sincerely,
