  Hi, I would like to start localization and translation of gnome and
  then other packages also for Fedora. I have talked with croatian
  localization team who are translating OpenOffice and are the main body
  for translation but they don't have the time for it anymore and they
  are in agreement to let me take over gnome and other translations.
  I would also like to make localization marathons, which would be done
  over weekends with 10 or more volunteers, maybe even more. We would
  like to present this event as a Fedora/Reh Hat sponsored event. How do
  you suggest we start to do this? 
 Hi Valent,
 Great to hear you're interested in contributing to Croatian. I think
 the other Fedora Croatian translators will appreciate your
 contributions! And I don't see a coordinator either at its page, so
 you might want to step up as one. :-)
 The idea about the localization marathons is very interesting. It
 reminds me of "sprints" the Django project is doing every now and
 then, where for a whole day people get together and work on fixing
 bugs etc. And with Fedora 9 coming soon, the timing is great to have
 one for Fedora translations.
 I was wondering if it'd make sense to have it globally, under the
 label of the Fedora Localization Project (FLP), instead of just the
 Croatian team. I think many people would like to participate in other
 languages as well, and this could become a success. So basically in
 this scenario we'll decide on a date, get a wiki page created, send an
 email to the lists and get together on IRC, let's say on a Saturday.
 And some teams will manage to meet face to face and have pizzas and
 fun. Do you see this as something we could do on a FLP scale?
 In terms of sponsoring, what would you be needed? A breakdown of the
 resources needed would help very much in getting it approved.
