Asian CJK Group Announced

On the 17th of July 2006, the Chinese, Japanese and Korean native-language projects of OpenOffice.org have decided to join forces to form the Asian CJK Native-Language Group of OpenOffice.org. Kazunari Hirano will act as the communications & technical coordinator of the group.

This group will allow these three projects to share experiences on common L10N and I18N issues and pool some ressources such as the work on some parts of QA. In the mean time, this group will also foster collaboration between the three projects on a marketing level, helping the spread of OpenOffice.org all over Asia.

We would like to thank the volunteers of these projects for their hard work and their long time commitment to the OpenOffice.org project.

Congratulations to Kazunari Hirano and good luck to the Asian CJK Native-Lang Group!

Charles-H.Schulz,
Lead of the Native-Language
Confederation, OpenOffice.org
