Updates From Vietnam

Greetings from Vietnam. Let me give you a quick update from Vietnamese Mozilla Community. Vu Hung shared his Mozcamp experiences and the Mozilla goodies at the informal gathering of Open Source communities in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Few days ago, I met Tuan and Yang to talk about Mozilla community activities in Vietnam. We spent the afternoon discussing ideas for more user engagement, Localization and future events in Vietnam. Mozilla community is well organized in the north Vietnam (Hanoi), however we haven't had much success in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon).

I'll be traveling to Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) this weekend to participate in BarCamp Saigon Winter 2011. Planning to meet some of the open source community members at the event and hopefully build an active Mozilla community in Saigon.

Back in Hanoi next week for the FOSS@HUS on December 17, 2011. The annual Open Source fest at Hanoi University of Science (HUS), Hanoi, Vietnam.

FOSS Asia 2011

Vu Hung, Mozilla Vietnamese Localization contributor from Hanoi participated in FOSS Asia 2011 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. He shares his experiences in this blog post.

Here is a short report for what I (Vu Hung) did present in FOSSASIA.

Arky, who has been helping our open source comminities, especially in
building Mozilla community in Vietnam was the best person to give a
talk on that, but he was busy with an event in Eupore, so there I go
:)

The theme of the event is "mobile".

I had 2 talks and a workshop in this event.

Mozilla:

An introduction to Vietnamese translation for Mozilla products.

Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/vuhung16plus/an-introduction-to-vietnamese-translation

Narro is the tool the translation, and not like for translating
.po file Mozilla has a special format for language files
so Mozilla team (Arky is one of them) had developed Narror to help
translators.

Mozilla mobile technologies

Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/vuhung16plus/mozilla-mobile-technologies

The title of the present was made by Ms. Phuc but the content of
the talk focuses on the technologies that Mozilla is using,
this will help audiences (mostly students) have a basic knowledge
on what is used and cooked in Mozilla.

I also pointed out that Mobile/Smartphone, cloud computing and
open web are the trends that Mozilla is working on.
