Pondělí červen 30, 2008 My First Conference Presentation
The yesterday's weekend was a very rewarding one. I spent all of my time relaxing in the swimming pool as I was enjoying the end of the OpenSolaris Developer Conference 2008, where me, Robert Malovec and Ales Cernosek presented about Translation of OpenSolaris.

It was my first conference presentation and even though I got very nervous a few hours before the start, I felt much better while I was on stage. My presentation took about 20 minutes, Robert then went on with the demo of the proposed community translation model. I was very happy to see the demo going smooth, because we all were afraid of it not working at all. But Lukas Machacek did a good job of making it all work that day.
When Robert immediately translated part of the cal command-line application, the audience was apparently impressed. The number of questions asked at the end was overwhelming and we had to admit that some questions were hard to answer, esp. those about the future of the Community Translation Interface (CTI) pilot ("If this is just an experiment, when will we see the final version?") and the acceptance of the OpenSolaris community ("Do you think the community will accept this solution?"). There were also other questions related to the current translations available in Linux ("Why don't you get the existing Linux translations and reuse them in OpenSolaris?") and the current state of OpenSolaris internationalization ("How will you localize the many applications with no internationalization support in OpenSolaris?"). I have realized that we had concentrated on making the demo working but didn't think about the project as a whole. But since this really was just a proof of concept, now it would be the good time to resolve all other issues.
For those of you who didn't make it to the conference, here are some useful links:
