MDN Localization Meetup
Audience
People whose native language is not English, and who have some amount of knowledge of web technologies.
Purpose
Localize MDN content in a social, collaborative setting. Increase participation in MDN localization by having experienced localizers help newcomers.
Format
Here is a sample agenda:
- Orientation
- Demonstration of translation interface
- Form teams based on topic interest, with at least one mentor per team
- Hands-on translation
- Recap of accomplishments and challenges
Requirements
- Projector for showing how to translate; if not available, mentors can show in small groups.
- Wifi so everyone can connect to MDN.
- Attendees should bring their own laptops, unless computers are provided in the venue.
Resources
- How to run a doc sprint for MDN (somewhat out of date, and meant for multi-day event, not a short meetup)
- Q&A session on running MDN Localization meetups
