Events for translators

[Carlos Soriano <csoriano gnome org>]

Hello all,

Lately we have been trying to define what events GNOME can sponsor and how. You can read more in the wiki [0]

One of the ideas is a "Translation race" event. Basically various people get together to learn how to translate and translate some module with some of you.

However I need a little of help to figure out how that event could be. The questions I have are:

- How much time do you think it would take to set up, teach and translate a module?

- What items would be interesting for you? (e.g. stickers, some cake, snacks,....)

- How many people could a single organiser handle in a comfortable way?

- Do you think "translated one module per person" is doable in that time and a good way to measure the success of the event? If not, what do you propose as a measurement of success of the event?

- Do you have a canonical guide an orgnizer should follow and make the people follow? (similar to /Newcomers). Is https://wiki.gnome.org/TranslationProject/JoiningTranslation the one?

- Any other point we should take into account?
