www-zh-cn @ Savannah: Join us in saying goodbye to our beloved FSF office on August 16!

Dear Translators:

The FSF is officially going remote, so come visit the FSF office one last time. After August 31st, FSF will no longer be residing at the office on 51 Franklin Street.

For the final time, FSF will open the office to everyone who would like to visit the office one last time on Friday, August 16th from 6:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. for the move-out party.

You can also leave your words at the member forum:

https://forum.members.fsf.org/t/we-are-closing-down-the-51-franklin-street-office-do-you-have-any-memories-to-share/5614

You can write your own blog as I have done:

May FSF long live in our mind.

FOSS contributors’ first step: translation

This Week in F-Droid

TWIF curated on Thursday, 15 Aug 2024, Week 33

Community News

Translations are the easiest way to help your favourite apps, not only that they’ll look nice when you use them in your language, but also this enables more users even if they don’t know the native language of the app developer. (That’s how I started too, remember?)

The best way to translate is when projects have setup a translation portal, F-Droid signals such apps with the “Translation” link on website and in client, but not all apps have this so you might need to ask the developer to setup one first. For reference, top 3 used portals: Weblate (used by F-Droid too, open-source, self-hostable, our recommendation), Crowdin and Transifex (both proprietary but free for FLOSS projects).

Also F-Droid contributor yzqzss has setup their own Weblate at toolate.othing.xyz for apps that won’t fit the main hosted.weblate.org criteria.

Jami was updated to 20240802-01, but is the app translated in your language fully? If not, you can lend a hand, and their recent “How to contribute to translations” post guides you on how to start.

At least two users pinged us about a peculiar habit of them that recent updates broke, running OsmAnd~ from F-Droid and OSMAnd from the upstream developer at the same time. The issue was introduced by the app developers, but F-Droid added a local fix too as needed for our heavily modified build recipe. You can update now to 4.8.5 and everything should work as it used to do. Translation wise, we’ve updated our app description a while ago but most locales were still old so we had to cleaned them up, and they’ll default to the English one now. There’s no translations portal yet, but you can submit your translation via Gitlab or the Forum, based on these 3 texts.

For translations fans, our forum hosts a long thread with user ideas, if you want to dig further.

We’ve got a lot of requests and concerns about Wikipedia being outdated, but the developers worked to fix the issue and the app is updated to current r/2.7.50495-r-2024-07-23.

Cartridge software for the Psion Series 3

Similar to less popular handheld of the era, the Gameboy, the Psion used a proprietary cartridge format for distributing commercial software. Psion sold blank cartridges, flashing hardware and duplicators to software houses, as well as releasing a number of titles under their own license. There’s a wide range of commercial software available for the Series 3 family, and only some of it was ported to the Series 5 (I really wish Scrabble had been released on Series 5). The range of software available was significant. Cartridges unlocked the Psion 3’s ability to play a large number of games, provide phrase book translation to a number of languages (Berliz Interpreter), route plan your car journeys (Microsoft Autoroute), look up the best wines for this year (Hugh Johnson’s Wine Guide) or build your organisation chart Purple Software’s OrgChart. ↫ Kian Ryan I have a Psion 3, but the only cartridges I have are empty ones you can use for personal storage. I’ve always wanted to buy a selection of cartridges on eBay, but sadly, my Psion 3 died due to me forgetting to remove the batteries when immigrating to Sweden, something I only discovered like five years later. I was smart enough to remove all batteries from every single device in my massive collection, but I guess the Psion 3 slipped through my fingers. Anyway, this article is a great look at some of the cartridges that existed for the Psion 3, and it’s really making me want to replace my broken Psion 3 and buy one that comes with a set of cartridges. There’s something really attractive about how the Psion 3’s EPOC operating system worked, and the third party programs look like so much fun to explore and use.

Drupal Starshot blog: Drupal CMS: the official name for Drupal Starshot

Drupal Starshot blog: Drupal CMS: the official name for Drupal Starshot

Drupal Starshot blog: Drupal CMS: the official name for Drupal Starshot

We’re excited to announce that “Drupal CMS” will be the official name for the product developed by the Drupal Starshot Initiative.

The name “Drupal CMS” was chosen after user testing with both newcomers and experienced users. This name consistently scored highest across all tested groups, including marketers unfamiliar with Drupal.

Participants appreciated the clarity it brings:

Having the words CMS in the name will make it clear what the product is. People would know that Drupal was a content management system by the nature of its name, rather than having to ask what Drupal is.

I’m a designer familiar with the industry, so the term CMS or content management system is the term or phrase that describes this product most accurately in my opinion. I think it is important to have CMS in the title.

The name “Drupal Starshot” will remain an internal code name until the first release of Drupal CMS, after which it will most likely be retired.
