Guidelines for Globalisation
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?
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!!!
@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?
