			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://en.wordpress.org/wp-content/themes/rosetta/images/logo.png" alt="WordPress" style="background-color: #555; padding: 5px;" class="alignright" /><br />
Mai nou primesc mai multe întrebări legate de <a href="http://ro.wordpress.org/">WordPress în Română</a>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Cât de mare este comunitatea?</li>
<li>Cât de simplu e să obții asistență sau să găsești persoane serioase pentru proiecte serioase?</li>
<li>Cât costă serviciile?</li>
<li>Unde pot găzdui proiectele pe WordPress în România?</li>
</ul>
<p>Cel mai simplu răspuns ar fi că: „Nu se știe exact cât de mare este comunitatea, numărul dezvoltatorilor în România și calificarea acestora sau costul serviciilor”. Cert e că WordPress e la fel de popular în România ca în toată lumea (8% din Internet include și .ro-ul), și din acest motiv a fost creat, <a href="http://ro.wordpress.org/2010/01/17/lansarea-comunita%C8%9Bii-%C8%99i-asisten%C8%9Ba-in-romana/">acum ceva vreme</a>, <a href="http://ro.forums.wordpress.org">forumul WordPress în Română</a>.</p>
<p>Astfel, utilizatorii WordPress pot primi atât asistență de la membrii forumului, cât și publica anunțurile despre proiectele personale/comerciale în scopul solidificării comunității și extinderii acesteia. Așadar, acum există un loc unde se pot întâlni persoanele WordPress atât mai tehnice cât și simplii utilizatori.</p>
<p>De asemenea, sincer sper ca anul acesta <a href="http://wordcamp.ro/">WordCamp România</a> să aibă o continuare, iar ce-i care ne cunoaștem mai mult offline, să ajungem să ne întâlnim la eveniment față în față.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I didn&#8217;t want to write about this until I had something to show, now I got some updates and I think I will be the last person involved in this project who didn&#8217;t write anything about it yet. Yes, I was accepted as a <a href="http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/student_project/show/google/gsoc2010/wordpress/t127230764591">Google Summer of Code student</a> this year. And the umbrella project I <del datetime="2010-06-15T10:31:16+00:00">will be</del> am working for is <a href="http://wordpress.org/">WordPress</a> (which is the best I could only dream about) and their social network project called <a href="http://buddypress.org/">BuddyPress</a>.</p>
<p>So what coding exactly I&#8217;m doing this summer? Remember Moodle, or Blackboard (yep, that was new to me too) or if you know what is a <acronym title="Learning management system">LMS</acronym>, well, I am building <a href="http://gsoc2010.wordpress.com/stas-suscov-academic-suite/">a LMS above the BuddyPress</a> social network. This means everyone can get a facebook/ning and a moodle in a box once the project is done.</p>
<p>The crew. Besides me there are two more mentors:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://clioweb.org/">Jeremy Boggs</a> &mdash; The initiator of <a href="http://scholarpress.net/">ScholarPress</a> project from where I will borrow code and implementation ideas.</li>
<li><a href="http://teleogistic.net">Boone Gorges</a> &mdash; The all things BuddyPress guy.</li>
</ul>
<p>and a bunch of people I have to mention for their support and ideas: <a href="http://twitter.com/janeforshort">Jane</a>, <a href="http://thecorkboard.org/">Kyle</a>, <a href="http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-edu">WP-Edu subscribers</a>.</p>
<p>The project timeline and updates can be followed on <a href="http://sushkov.wordpress.com/">my other blog</a>. Also there you will find, <a href="http://sushkov.wordpress.com/2010/06/15/people-ask-how-can-they-install-and-test/">the instructions</a> for how to install the new component.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So the <a href="http://adi.roiban.ro/2009/01/11/launchpad-drupal-plugins-in-loco-drupal-6/">awesome drupal loco</a> is dead&#8230;  (ex lp:~drupal-loco).<br />
I was working on <a href="http://ubuntu.bsd.md/">ubuntu-md loco website</a>, so I said to create a WordPress ubuntu loco theme from scratch. The results were nice so I said to publish everything to Launchpad. Hope all that stuff will become useful one day to other loco teams.</p>
<p>If you are interested, checkout the project: <a href="https://launchpad.net/wordpress-loco">WordPress Loco Theme</a> or get the code: <code>bzr branch lp:~sushkov/wordpress-loco/trunk</code>. Branching is welcomed!</p>
<p>The plans for future&#8230; Knowing that <a href="http://www.jonobacon.org/2010/03/03/refreshing-the-ubuntu-brand/">ubuntu.com will get re-branded</a>, I&#8217;m interested to continue the wordpress-loco development to reflect new brand changes. Maybe even rewrite the plugins needed for loco teams to connect to Launchpad.</p>
<p>Time will show, so far I&#8217;m trying to bring up some loco activity in Moldova, and I hope <a href="http://forum.linux.md/viewtopic.php?f=24&#038;t=678">we&#8217;ll even get a release party for upcoming Lucid 10.4</a>&#8230;</p>
<p>Full technical, specific descriptions and kudos list is available in the <a href="http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~sushkov/wordpress-loco/trunk/annotate/head:/README">README</a> file.</p>
