I flew to Cebu City late last night together with fellow Mozilla Rep Kemuel Domanog to attend the second day of Global Voices Citizen Media Summit 2015. Global Voices is a volunteer community of more than 1,200 writers, analyst, online media experts and translators. Global voices has been leading the conversation on citizen media reporting since 2005.
I was invited as one of the panel speakers to discuss “Filipino Indigenous Languages in Citizen Media.” With me in the panel is a language professor from Cebu, a newspaper columnist (also from the same city) and Mr. Eugene Villar of Wikimedia Philippines.
I was able to share insights on how localization is done in Mozilla (and in the Philippine community) and the challenges that we encounter in finalizing the translation of Firefox and Firefox OS to Tagalog (to start with).
Here’s the video recording of that session:
Such an honor to be part of this global conference. Awesome to see fellow Mozillians from other parts of the globe attending the event at our home soil.
