  • Maria, Ourmar, Arseney...

• Short Promo Video (details below)

• Call to action

  • Video of how to contribute

  • Other projects!

• Concept is video of translators, each speaking in their own language

  • Which country do you come from, and which languages can you speak? (List as many as you would like!)

  • Why is Blockchain important? (1 sentence)

  • Why is translating important, in general? (1 sentence)

  • More specifically, why is it important to translate Hyperledger Fabric into your language (3 or 4 sentences)?

  • How do you collaborate with other people in your language? (5 or 6 sentences)?

  • Which topic did you most enjoy translating, and why? (Topic name, and 2 sentence reason)

  • What does it feel like to see your words in a translated topic?

  • What advice would you give someone who wanted to get started with translating?

  • Say "I'm inviting you to translate"!

• Edit answers into 60 second promo video

  • Translate each answer

  • Might be nice to present in multi-lingual form

    • Maybe just some, rather than all?

    • Form below is basic concept, but needs to be coherent for each language reader

  • You should answer in your NATIVE language

  • Questions follow blitz format so all answers should be short: 1-2 phrases, 15-20 seconds per question max.

  • Please name the question first, then pause and answer – needed for further convenience in video production

  • Basic principles for making video:

    • Light background (wall) is better

    • Quiet place unfortunately is a must – voice recording is VERY important here (inside your house/apartment is ok)

    • Camera should be on the eye level (tripod is the best option, but you don’t have it – you can easily engage your family to make more fun!)

    • Record upper part of your body

    • It’s better to choose more dark colours for clothes (pure black is not recommended as it’s not convenient in video production; brown, dark blue, green, red or purple is much better)

    • Clothes style does not matter (I do not think that anybody will decide to wear a tie..)

    • Please make horizontal recording

    • Please do Not put any light at the back, it’s much better to put light on you, as speaker, if possible

    • You can make 10 different recordings (1 recording for question) if it’s more convenient, or 3, or any number - your convenience is more important

    • Smiiiiiiiile :)

    • Your speech will be cut to make mesh between different people and will be duplicated by subtitles, so please provide the translation to English.
