Even with the crunch of finals we had an overwhelming attendance of students and local community members alike.
We had quite a diverse group - 12 total! 7 stuck around for the entire event. Languages represented were: Mexican Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese and Cape Verdean Creole.
We recruited a new Mozillian to the Mexican Spanish l10n team. He is originally from Mexico City. He signed up for the mailing lists, localized several strings, and mentioned he would get several of his students involved. He will be a great addition to the l10n community. We are excited to have him involved!
We had two new localizers show up interested in the Brazilian Portuguese team. We got them all the right contact information and links to get started. We look forward to see what all they contribute!
One participant is going to get his wife involved, who speaks Cape Verdian Creole, so we hope to see her at the next sprint.
Two of the Mexican Spanish localizers (we had five there total) were working on localization engineering and attempting to contribute in that area. They were busy hacking away! Three others were going strong getting everything finished up on Aurora - between them and the Japanese localizer, there were 450 strings translated.
One attendee came just to meet the community and would like to get involved in privacy. He wrote his thesis on the Tor network BEFORE the NSA scandal. We got him in contact with our privacy ninja - Liz Sands and are excited to see his contributions!
All in all - it was a fabulous and diverse sprint! With the vast, rich language talent in the area, we are excited to be opening new doors that will really impact so many people around the world. We are also so excited for the many people that attended that can contribute to other areas of the Mozilla Utah community.
Go Mozilla Utah!
