Managing Translations

[Corey Burger]

There word from Mark at Mataro was that he was holding his options
open. He didn't want to commit and then be forced to take his word
back. But I can say, from talking to other members of the Canonical
team, that they are just as committed to open source, and thus
launchpad (all its bits) would become oss eventually.
