Guidelines for Globalisation

[nrooney]

Adding some pages on how groups and chairs can help participants from countries across the world be more involved in their working groups and across W3C. Judy Zhu had a fantastic presentation on this - we could use most of this content and some more.

@plehegar is there a W3C plan for what happens to repo access when Github is blocked in a country?

[nrooney]

Anybody got a list of what global languages github is in?! Searching "github languages" comes up with javascript etc, which is not what I am looking for!!!

[plehegar]

@nrooney no plan in place. so far, folks have been using vpns or their company network to avoid restrictions as far as I know.

Hi, @nrooney :)

“Judy Zhu had a fantastic presentation on this.”

Where is that?

“Anybody got a list of what global languages github is in?”

I thought none other than English. I did a quick search in GitHub Help, and About pages, and still I can't see mentions of language support… (?)

Well, I at least know they do Japanese. https://github.co.jp/, my search found a few others. Weird there's no actual list though!

I think github.co.jp is not “github.com with its web UI in Japanese instead of English”, but a separate company and product, a different instance with other organisations, users and repositories…

Where are those other languages you found, @nrooney?
