			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had submitted a talk for the <a href="http://www.grancanariadesktopsummit.org/">GUADEC</a> which was accepted. However, in light of <a href="http://blogs.gnome.org/gpoo/2009/05/03/status-of-guadecs-sponsorship-requests/">this blog entry</a>, my decidedly infrequent contributions to <a href="http://www.gnome.org">GNOME</a> and, an inability to travel using my own finances, I decided that there was no glory in asking for travel+lodging assistance. So, once again, I am not going to be at GUADEC ! Some day I will make it though.</p>
<p>One of the reasons that GCDS was interesting for me was the chance to talk about localization in terms of improving the context of the localization-ready content.  During translations, one often encounters sentence construction which does not have context and, providing a means to overcome the issue in a gradual manner would make for much nicer localized UIs. Additionally, learning about improvements to the <a href="http://l10n.gnome.org">GNOME L10n infrastructure</a> was a secondary goal. The ulterior motive was also to know about the project&#8217;s plans to outreach to groups of students beyond the obvious GSoC and, how to use the project&#8217;s knowledge to teach open source.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, let me go back to doing some more translations. They seem to be improving my vocabulary by leaps and bounds. Although, my reviewer says that my spelling is atrocious <img src='http://sankarshan.randomink.org/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
