Hi all,

A Mailing list has been created on the lists.hosef.org machine to house
the "Hawaii Linux translation project".

What the Hawaii Linux translation project aims to do is build upon the
proposal made by Jim Thompson at TPOSSCON 2006.

Jim's proposal involved a localized version of Linux that would
initially include translating everything into Hawaiian.

This would then extend to our own Hawaiian distribution of Linux which
would include calendars, artworks... The whole bit. 

The proposal was to use Ubuntu/Kubuntu Linux as this has the best
infrastructure in place to support such a project.  This is through the
Rosetta translation system.

This post is just a general overview.  Please feel free to contribute to
this discussion.
