[Comm-en] information on ALT Linux in English

[Michael Shigorin <mike@altlinux.org>]

	Hello guys,
I've been answering a query regarding helpful resources
that came through BaseALT company contact and thought
the list to be worth posting here:

---
There's a pretty minimal http://en.altlinux.org wiki and
a way more extensive http://ru.altlinux.org one -- maybe these
help a bit; there's also a (pretty quiet) English-speaking ML:
http://lists.altlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/community-en
and a Telegram channel of guys from Brasil (they speak English
too, maybe it's the only non-Russian channel by now):
http://t.me/alt_linuxBR; there's #altlinux-en on freenode
but it seems even more quiet than community-en@.

PS: maybe you'll find this intro book useful:
http://altlinux.org/Books:Insideout ->
http://heap.altlinux.org/alt-docs/compactbook/index.html
(in Russian but should be autotranslateable)
---

Ah, and we've finally created a sort of download centre site: 
http://getalt.org -- so it should be easier to find an image;
http://distrowatch.com/alt has release announcements as well
as helpful hints in some reviews, like this one:

---
The download is 4.3G and will default to Russian. F2 after
booting the live medium enables the English install option.
---

You're welcome to participate in both community and the team,
there were precedents already even if we understand that it's
not that easy to participate in a Russian-speaking project
while not reading the language; some folks are even willing
to learn it during these last years, maybe this can help:

There's no English section on http://forum.altlinux.org
at the moment but it's not a problem to create one
for those interested.

>From Russia with love ;-)
