We had i18n FAD from 20-22nd Oct in Red Hat, Pune office. Developers and QE both participated in FAD(Fedora Activity Day). So we all were excited. All preparations were done, thanks to Parag. Sundeep, Pravin and other members for their efforts to make this happen.
Day 1:
We started at 9.30. There was a introductory session by Pravin and Jens, followed by some logistics information by Parag. After this we started with planned sessions as all of us were going to discuss on the topics which we have planned by giving a small presentation.
First was Akira Tagoh who shared information about fontconfig , guidelines for defaults fonts and the tasks planned for FAD. Then Peng Wu discussed about Pango. After this we had a small break.
Fujiwara, Peng, Mike, discussed about input method, ibus. I got a lot of input from this discussions as I was going to work on Input Method Automation. Then Mike and Rafal discussed about locales.
It was lunch time by this, so we had lunch in office.
After having lunch Sundeep, Parag, Sachin gave presentation and discussed about Transtats. Then Pravin discussed about Fonts. I gave a small presentation on Input method and tasks for Automation.
Then Satya and Bhushan discussed about the Fedora i18n QA Test cases. After this Vishal who was participating remotely in FAD gave presentation and share his idea web testing.
After a small break, everyone shares their plan for the projects on which they were going to work.
Day 2:
Second day we started at 9, as everything was set and planned. We started working on our projects. I and Ompragrash were working on the Input Method Automation. So first we planned to do automation for GNOME application as well as libreoffice. So first task was to open the application in specific locale. So I decided to do for gedit and Ompragash took libreoffice. We took Korean and Chinese input method. In the first half we were able to automate to open the application in the specific language.
Next task was to enable the input method for specific language which took a bit of research, as Fujiwara and Peng Wu were there, we discussed with them and finally got the solution how we can enable the input method.
So EOD we were able to input string in the application by enabling the input method for specific language.
Then it was the time for daily sharing, we all gave demos and shared what we have done or achieved so far. It was a fruitful day for all as everyone made success on their projects.
After this it was the party time, we went Amanora where we did bowling, everyone enjoyed alot. Then we had dinner at Barbeque Nation. It was a nice evening.
Day 3:
We started at 9:00 am in morning working on our pending tasks. We already had a session planned for Modularity, we had a good discussion about Modularity, got to know many new things. After Lunch we had Fedora 27 release party in RedHat office only. Many people join us for the party where had discussion about Fedora and modularity as this is the major change in Fedora. In evening we wrap with the demos and presentation of our project.
I found it very good as I got learn many new things and also got a chance to interact with people working on different technologies. After this FAD I know whom to contact if I have any issues related to i18n , this event was good to build connection. This will help us in future.
Looking forward for next year FAD.
