Re: [needs proofread and translation] August newsletter

I am proofreading the current version of the webpreview as of early August
10.  This is the only source l have available.  I do not know whether it
includes the corrections of the small misspellings (but I presume that it
does, because I haven't found more myself).  I have very little to suggest.

1.  "Turning 25 was a moment to reflect on major milestones while casting
an eye toward our vision 2048."  Insert "for" after "vision."  English
usage.

2.  "At the same time, we are looking at the European Commission updates
the European Interoperability Framework."  I cannot understand this
sentence.  If It should read "At the same time, we are looking at how the
European Commission updates the European Interoperability Framework", then
of course you should insert "how" after "at."  (That's my guess.)  If you
have something else in mind, please rewrite to make your intention clear.

3.  "From this list the jury members will elect this year's six winning
projects."  I suggest replacing "elect" with "select."  If the jury members
were operating openly, and were using a visible election process, that term
would be appropriate.  But my guess is that the choices are not necessarily
made that way.  Each year, there are six awards (the designations varying
from year to year).  A very fine submission might be in contention for
several of the awards, but the jury may adjust the selection results so as
not to give multiple awards to the same submission.

4.  "If you or a young person you know missed out on this round, don't
worry"  I suggest replacing "round."  The obvious replacement is
"edition."  If you feel that this word is being used too often in close
proximity, an alternative would be to replace with "year's competition."

5:  "registration for the next edition of YH4F is open!"  I suggest putting
in a link to the registration page, which I was able to find at
https://share.fsfe.org/apps/forms/s/3Ze8ML4PHjpF4o3727Pkgsog .
Registration should not be a puzzle (tempting though that might be as a way
of reducing the number of entrants).  Considering the hour, I am not
attempting putting this in my attachment.
