Summary:
Localization of GNOME in Macedonian.
Building the first GNOME LiveCD in Macedonian.
Submmited some bug reports.

Detailed description:
I'm coordinating the translation of GNOME into Macedonian for a few years now. Unfortuneatly I was using the 
old maintainer's cvs account for commiting translations and fixes. Translated GNOME 2.12 100%, and for the 
first time Macedonian is among the officially supported languages in GNOME.

Translated some press releases @ http://www.gnome.org/press/releases/ in Macedonian.

I'm listed as the official press contant person for GNOME press release questions for Macedonia. Have been 
sending translated official press releases to two of the bigest PC Magazines in Macedonia, both of them 
published the text. I also write monthly texts on GNOME and Ubuntu for the PC Magazine "Enter".

Contacts:
Ivan Stojmirov <stojmir at linux net mk> - ex coordinator for translation of GNOME into Macedonian

Damjan Gjorgievski <penguinista at mail net mk> - vice president of Free Software Macedonia - The 
organization that supports the localization of GNOME here.

You can also check the header files in any of the .po files to see that I've been maintaining the most of 
them in the past year (http://l10n-status.gnome.org/gnome-2.12/mk/index.html).

Other comments:
---------------
Currently working on polishing the Macedonian translation and waiting for a working breezy LiveCD so I can 
build the GNOME LiveCD in Macedonian. Already did this with an older breezy LiveCD but it was more of a 
testing because the X-server package was broken anyway. I'm trying to spread GNOME as much as I can.
