Consultants Directory: Update and Help Needed
So here's where we are with the consultants listing:
1) XLST script, data file, strings for en and it are checked in under
ooo-site/content/bizdev/consultants
2) Announcement to ooo-dev/ooo-users/forums/twitter/google+/facebook
(but not ooo-announce since that is almost all end-users)
3) Blog post
4) I also went through the legacy consultant listings and reviewed the
websites of the English-speaking entities. Where one appeared to
still be relevant I sent them an email and pointed them to the new
listing instructions and invited them to submit a new listing. This
was a judgement call, but generally if the website was still up and I
found an explicit mention of OpenOffice services then I considered it
relevant. But if it was just a generic IT services company with no
mention of OpenOffice then I did not send an invite. Of course,
nothing prevents them from submitting a listing, and if they do we
review it like any other.
5) What we have so far is here:
http://www.openoffice.org/bizdev/consultants.html
Note, there are more coming. One was posted to the list today that I
need to check in. And there are a few more were I was emailed that
they were interested and would submit a listing.
So areas where I could use help:
1) Reviewing the non-English legacy consultants for relevant ones who
should be invited. German, French, Italian and Spanish volunteers are
especially needed. If you can help I can send you a spreadsheet of
the websites and an English version of my invitation note. Maybe 30
or so per language.
2 (less urgent) At some point we might enable the automatic generation
of the HTML from the XML + XSLT. Since I don't speak Perl I'm going
to need someone else to tackle this.
Thanks!
-Rob

I think I can help you with the german consultants. I already know most of the german consultants personally, for example, all on:

I added strings_es.xml for spanish. Isn't this possible to do this in
Python? I thought the server support it.

Just post a quick request in English to ooo-progetto-it: I'll moderate
it through, adding a brief explanation, and we will surely find
volunteers who can take care of this.
