Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to share with you the outcomes of the meeting with Global
Voices.
Global Voices is a volunteer comunity of Journalists and Translators
that curate, verify and translate trading news and stories that might
be missing on the internet.
You can check them out here:

Will send you some other emails to gather some information :)

Hi guys,
It has been awesome to meet you.
Here there is a small brief of what we talked, and the next steps on
our relationship.
Please make the necessary corrections.
Community Networks (CN) are a way to fix Internet, through empowering
people to own their infrastructure and to grow it as they need, and to
promote local meaning that they can share with the rest of the
Internet.
As a short term goal, we agreed that:
* Global Voices (GV) can republish articles that we have already
published promoting local experiences on Community Connectivity. That
encourages translators to localize the articles to their own languages
and helps spread the word.
* GV can get in touch with local initiatives to tell their story
through articles.
* GV can help promoting localization initiatives that we run throught
their social networks.
* GV and CN can work together to build a project for the GV
Translation Exchange Program.
Next Steps:
1. Nicolas will collect a collection of articles that talk about our
CN initiatives
2. Nicolas will provide a global directory of initiatives
3. GV will repost articles or use them as a base for your articles
4. GV will get in touch with CN to make their voices raise
5. Nicolas will give GV our Social Networks so we can be in touch and
so GV can promote our translation actions when we have them ready
6. Nicolas will work on clarifying the actions to be taken to
translate the material, either for advocates to get involved, or to
build a project for the Translation Exchange Program.
Hope to keep working together with you!
Regards,
