Fifth camp our objectives are:

In all the camps Hiran Venugopalan gave an introduction to font design. But key activity was translation. In second camp we tried to focus on font design

=Criteria of selecting a place=

It can be any place having some computer facility. According to my experience minimum requirement for the camp is at least one system per 6 volunteers. But Mr. Vimal Joseph has a new different idea. I hope he will explain it. It seems to be more economical. You can suggest your own idea and a way to implement it. Once Mr. Praveen.A suggested to introduce Pango in one of the camp.

=Are we planning this as technical or non technical event ?=

It has to be decided by the local community, depending upon the availability of experts and level of available volunteers. If it is only translation of documentation, it is only semi-technical. If we are getting volunteers have some technical skill or a hand on any language we can do it as a technical one. But it not easy to make it a pure non-technical event.
