Ada & Zangemann book in Korean

Hi, Nico and Giacomo Alessandroni

Thank for your advise.


About changing Konrad‘s name, I already checked the translation guideline
in GIT repository and I was convinced that it is OK to change the name
based on your opinions. But before I go proceed, one thing  need to verify.
The person whoes name will replace Konrad is still alive. So before I use
his name, I need to get permission to use it. Then I could announce the
name after his confirmation.


About changing hair color, I didn’t keep in mind that I need to consider
consitency with other A&Z materials. So it’s very helpful advise, thanks!
I’m going to discuss it with publisher which one is more important between
consitency and localization. I think publisher’s opinion might be also
important to publish book successfully. After meeting with publisher, then
I will decide it.

And I have some questions, what does the presentation mean? Does it mean
book reading material in GIT repository? And could I get more detail about
the video? Does it mean the A&Z animation video you guys are preparing? Is
it in progress and could you tell me when is the release candidate date?


I am not sure about making source code public, because there’s still more
discussion  left with publishers. Depending on how they treat CC license, I
could decide next thing I can do. Besides adapting CC license to publishing
business in Korea can be tough and challenging. So that’s why I am keep
searching tips of publishing A&Z book. Personally I am very positive about
opening the source code if it has no problem with publication of the book.
I will let you know about futher progress after meeting with publishers.


About another question I asked, can I get the information about who could
help to find the answer of below questions? Nico, as you  mentioned,
Mattias can help?


1. Tips for finding good pulisher

2. Person who in charge of publication in FSFE

3. Can I use the book reviews without permission?


Thanks for your help and have a nice day.


Best regards,

Kihyun
