+ <description><p>The LinuxCNC project is making headway these days. A lot of
+patches and issues have seen activity on
+<a href="https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/">the project github
+pages</a> recently. A few weeks ago there was a developer gathering
+over at the <a href="https://tormach.com/">Tormach</a> headquarter in
+Wisconsin, and now we are planning a new gathering in Norway. If you
+wonder what LinuxCNC is, lets quote Wikipedia:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+"LinuxCNC is a software system for numerical control of
+machines such as milling machines, lathes, plasma cutters, routers,
+cutting machines, robots and hexapods. It can control up to 9 axes or
+joints of a CNC machine using G-code (RS-274NGC) as input. It has
+several GUIs suited to specific kinds of usage (touch screen,
+interactive development)."
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>The Norwegian developer gathering take place the weekend June 16th
+to 18th this year, and is open for everyone interested in contributing
+to LinuxCNC. Up to date information about the gathering can be found
+in
+<a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/emc/mailman/emc-developers/thread/sa64jp06nob.fsf%40hjemme.reinholdtsen.name/#msg37837251">the
+developer mailing list thread</a> where the gathering was announced.

-
-<p>Almost two years after the previous Norwegian Bokmål translation of
-the "<a href="https://debian-handbook.info/">The Debian Administrator's
-Handbook</a>" was published, a new edition is finally being prepared. The
-english text is updated, and it is time to start working on the
-translations. Around 37 percent of the strings have been updated, one
-way or another, and the translations starting from a complete Debian Buster
-edition now need to bring their translation up from 63% to 100%. The
-complete book is licensed using a Creative Commons license, and has
-been published in several languages over the years. The translations
-are done by volunteers to bring Linux in their native tongue. The
-last time I checked, it complete text was available in English,
-Norwegian Bokmål, German, Indonesian, Brazil Portuguese and Spanish.
-In addition, work has been started for Arabic (Morocco), Catalan,
-Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Croatian, Czech, Danish,
-Dutch, French, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Polish,
-Romanian, Russian, Swedish, Turkish and Vietnamese.</p>
-
-<p>The translation is conducted on
-<a href="https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/debian-handbook/">the
-hosted weblate project page</a>. Prospective translators are
-recommeded to subscribe to
-<a href="http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-handbook-translators">the
-translators mailing list</a> and should also check out
-<a href="https://debian-handbook.info/contribute/">the instructions for
-contributors</a>.</p>
-
-<p>I am one of the Norwegian Bokmål translators of this book, and we
-have just started. Your contribution is most welcome.</p>
