haha okay, you're right -- i can't fix that 🙂
emoji in `:emoji_name:` syntax gets “translated” into `：emoji_name：` (full width colon in Chinese)
I'll need to write some regex for emoji patterns, so that Google doesn't try to translate those 🙂
Totally!
the best part is that this can actually bridge to slack channels on other slack teams as well! that's actually it's main feature, and translation is just the hack that I'm contributing upstream
Nice. What is this plugin?
So we can connect this channel to the `colab` slack team in Oakland, and they will have it in english on their slack, without having to sign up for `g0v-tw` slack (if they don't want to)
GitHub
bridge between mattermost, IRC, gitter, xmpp, slack, discord, telegram, rocket.chat,hipchat (via xmpp), steam, twitch, ssh-chat, zulip and matrix with REST API (mattermost not required!) - 42wim/ma...
That sounds good to me 🙂 Too many slack workspaces is kind of annoying.
And Google en → zh translation is still hilarious lol
haha yeah, it's pretty bad, but better than nothing 🙂 enough to know whether we should jump into conversations and ask better questions, at least.
And now the english-speakers aren't Google Translating on their own. They all know that they all know that they all know what Mandarin-speakers are saying (sort of)

Better than nothing +1
ok, so now we should be able to see which channel the translated message is coming from. I'm open to suggestions on improvement 🙂

You can also edit messages, and the translation gets updated too. (The software "forgets" about prior messages between restarts, and so it might only work on a very fresh message, as I've been adding features and restarting often.)

here's that tech workers coop mailing list that I've been a member of:

I'm not part of any others, so not sure it it's considered to be a good one :slightly_smiling_face:

Great resource! Many thanks!
Yeah this is awesome
Good news: in about two hours the group that started www.techworker.coop is meeting to overhaul that old, outdated site
But yes, it is the main email list for now for these purposes

I was looking into getting this slack on a paid membership for free
I found out that in order to do so, we need to find a current employee at slack to give us their one free paid-tier workspace
each employee gets one free workspace when they get hired
I sent out an email to my network to see if there is anyone that has one

@phiven ++! Didn’t know that trick 😉
By the way `++` is a g0v speak that’s like a `like` 😛 g0v speak: https://g0v.hackpad.tw/ep/pad/static/MI7fGNIdygb
It’d be funny if it was “+0” instead of the usual +1

hey g0v team can you give us an idea of how your jothon/hackathons are structured? are they multi-day events? how do they work?
Techqueria has done occasional 3-day hackathons and also long-term open-source project
More than half of us are developers, so as an organizer I am interested in how you make the event experience a positive one for developers
many times the 3-day hackathon format is difficult for people with families and jobs
this isn't an answer to much of anything you asked, but step 1: Provide child care!
Yeah of course :D
Its still hard
@ben612 ++ to child care. And clear policy on transit tokens, and maybe ubers when location is tough? Uber has some interesting family plans and an event coupon code system that can be used

@phiven here's what I know: one day event every 8-10 weeks or so. happens way out at academia sinica, bc space in taipei is too hard to find.
importantly, pitches are recorded and broadcast [individually?], and archived on youtube. people share them, and others seem to watch them even if they didn't attend, so they can know about projects without attending.
they've automated all the announcement and boilerplate docs/info with a little scripted tool:
https://github.com/g0v/OneButton
https://github.com/g0v/OneButton
OneButton is a one-click solution for ipa to finish all hackathon duties at once. - g0v/OneButton
they have some interesting practices:
- project leads all get red armbands to be recognizable
- one organizer carries a little flag around and does a "tour" of all the projects earyl on, for all the people who haven't found a project yet

one sec, I'm at the #jothon organizer meeting right now, and I'll ask if there are more docs...!

hey all, it took me sometime to find out there is an Eng channel for twc-g0v (reading chinese google translation is a bit painful)
@phiven
g0v hackathon happens every two month, on Sat. It’s usually a place people come to pitch new ideas, continue old projects, and make new friends. We don’t do multiple days for many reasons but one is about the venue--Academic Sinica provides “free space” for us, but it doesn’t allow us to do overnight. And of course, there will be a lot of preparation work for a multiple-day hackathon.

Every hackathon has its hackfoldr and this is a good way to see how hackathon is organized (though it’s mainly in Chinese, sorry!)

For this hackathon, there are also some international guests, so we did a newbie guide slides in English, which might also help. (Note: this hackathon was held at a different place, as part of Civic Tech Fest in Taipei)

You can find all recordings on g0v’s youtube. Below is also from the 26th hackathon. It has Eng live transcript alongside all pitches and talks.
