Re: [xliff] Introducing a new XLIFF TC member...

[Paul Gampe <pgampe@redhat.com>]

Thank you for the introduction Tony and hello TC members!

As the adoption of open source continues to accelerate the need for it to 
integrate with more traditional localisation models increases.  Importantly I 
believe the great work of the XLIFF TC represents considerable R&D in the 
field of defining a file format to support the localisation workflow.

My goal is to bring the value propostion of XLIFF to the open source community 
and by promoting its adoption and increasing implementations, contribute to 
the future development of this critical standard.

Kind regards,
Paul
