This is your monthly roundup of the freesewing news of the last four weeks, and a look at what lies ahead in the next month.
|

|

## Looking back at May
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Well here we are, the GPPR deadline of May 25th is getting smaller and smaller in
|
||
|
|
our rear-view mirror, and we have a new website.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Both of those things are obviously related, but you probably [already knew that](/blog/gdpr-ready).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
May has been an incredibly hectic month, with a lot of self-inflicted stress because rather
|
||
|
|
than just implement the changes required for GDPR, we decided to rebuild the entire site.
|
||
|
|
However, as the GDPR changes needed to be ready in time, that meant that the entire site had to
|
||
|
|
be ready.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*Ready* is obviously open to interpretation, and even though we published the site on time
|
||
|
|
— with 1.5 hours to spare to be precise — there were still a few loose ends left and right.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We've fixed a bunch of those and I'd like to thank all of you who reported issues and helped us
|
||
|
|
fix them by sharing their experience.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A lot of time and effort has been invested in making the site multi-lingual, and it's been great
|
||
|
|
to be able to launch with three langauges enabled. All the translators are doing great work
|
||
|
|
and I hope we'll be able to turn on a few other langauges relatively soon.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Apart from [open issues](https://github.com/freesewing/site/issues),
|
||
|
|
we also still have to port some of the documentation to the new site,
|
||
|
|
which is something that we'll continue to work on in June. Speaking of which:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Looking ahead to June
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Don't expect any ground breaking changes in June. We're going to keep on ironing out the
|
||
|
|
last kinks on the site, and continue to port the remaining documentation that's still
|
||
|
|
missing from the site.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I can't — and won't — make any promises and expect other people to keep them, so while I can't
|
||
|
|
commit to any translation work, great strides are being made in the French and Swedish translations,
|
||
|
|
so that's all very exciting.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I'm also thrilled that this translation work is turning out to be a good on-ramp for people
|
||
|
|
with no prior experience as open source contributors. Not only that, but translators are now
|
||
|
|
actually fixing small bugs left and right which is really terrific.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Obviously there's a lot of work that remains to be done, so if you're still standing on the
|
||
|
|
sidelines wondering whether this is something for you, don't be shy.
