Hello folks
We will be launching on January 22 the first phase of the 2013 Firefox
Flicks campaign.
The Firefox Flicks site is a video contest targetting talented
filmmakers wishing to create fun videos about Mozilla and Firefox. This
is the third iteration of this contest, the first contest was in 2006,
the second contest was in 2012 and this year contest will focus on
Mobile and Firefox OS promotion.
Here is the url on the development server:
https://firefoxflicks-dev.allizom.org/fr/
We are at stage one in which we announce the contest and make a call for
participation to this contest.
The translation format for this project is .po files that you are on svn
but also available through the Verbatim Web translation tool:
https://localize.mozilla.org/projects/firefoxflicks/
This is a 5750 words site but if you did the project last year, 3750 are
reused, which means a translation of about 2000 words. Some of the
strings similar to strings last year are also marked as fuzzy. Given the
focus on mobile and 2013 being the year of Firefox OS, I already filed
bugs for locales that are big targets for mobile (brazilian Portuguese,
Spanish, German, italian, French, Chineses, Russian, Polish, Dutch) but
of course, if you want your locale to be part of it, you can opt-in to
the project by commenting in this bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=816746
Milos and myself will add your locale to Verbatim/SVN and create a bug
for you with instructions.
Note that we are targetting a launch of the site with the contest
announcement for January 22 for P1 Firefox OS locales (English, Spanish,
Portuguese) and one week later for other locales. There will also be
further updates in February and later this year to put the competing
videos online and announce who the winners are.
If you'd like to be part of this project, please speak up! :)
Thanks!
Pascal
