The Multilingual Publishing project is an initiative by rOpenSci to expand the accessibility and reach of scientific knowledge by translating essential materials on best practices for software development, code review, and contribution to open source projects into Spanish. This effort aims to lower language barriers and make valuable resources available to a broader audience, thus fostering a more inclusive scientific community.
Panellists for this fireside chat come from diverse backgrounds and experiences across academia, industry and communities in research and data science where the translation aspect is one of their main focus areas. As members of multiple open sciences and research groups across the Global South and North, they will explore a range of questions and they will bring their combined perspectives as community builders, educators, trainers, researchers and engineers working on projects at both local and global scales.
