Debian pt_BR localization team and UFABC's mentoring program
Between July and November 2025, the Debian pt_BR translation team received five students for an online mentoring program. The initiative was carried out in partnership with the Federal University of ABC through the extension project "Immersion in Free Software", coordinated by professors Suzana Santos and Miguel Vieira.
During the mentorship the mentees acted on several of the team's translation efforts and joined presentations about the Debian Project and its community given by the mentors. We thank the dedication and contributions of Ana Parra, Bruno Freitas, Henrique Barbosa, Raul Banzatto and Vitoria Cordeiro. And we also thank the members of the team who have reviewed the work of the mentees, specially the ones who were designated as official mentors, namely Allythy Rennan, Daniel Lenharo, Thiago Pezzo, and Victor Marinho.
Results:
- Package descriptions, translations: 27
- Package descriptions, revisions: 190
- Web pages: 11
- Revisions to the Debian Administrator's Handbook
- Revisions to the Debian Edu documentation
We hope that this experience will inspire new paths and that you continue to contribute to Free Software – especially to Debian.
