  • Release status: Pam/Joe: Dashboard: https://jira.hyperledger.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=10104
  • Promoting Fabric Translations - David Boswell
    • Promoting translated docs
      • Translating the Hyperledger home page and linking to the docs:
      • Using Hyperledger's social media – all translation teams are welcome to send David (dboswell at linuxfoundation dot org) translated tweets about their work on he can post those
    • Promoting translation contribution opportunities to help existing translation groups and to start new ones
      • We had talked about doing a contribution campaign.  For that, our marketing lead just needs a blog post and a how to video about how to contribute to translations.
      • Most of this content already exists in the Contribution guide, so is someone interested in drafting a blog post based on that?  There was also talk of translation groups creating a how to video but I'm not sure of the status for that.
      • Picking a time frame for this so our marketing lead can get that scheduled.
  • International languages(standing topic)
    • Remind translators that if they are maintainers that after they approve a PR they can user the `doc-merge` label on a PR to merge it.
