I know this to be true for the people in Brazil as well and probably in other countries. To make connect more usable for local teams to organize things, we should make it possible for them to use it in their own language. The elgg website has many language packs so it shouldn't be too hard (I hope) to have connect translated... + Relations: + - Integrate some social features in connect for promo of events + (feature/id: https://features.opensuse.org/312184) + - Enhance events page in connect to be used for planning (feature/id: + https://features.opensuse.org/312178) Use Case: For the local ambassador teams to organize themselves Connect can be really useful. It has calendar and discussion posibilities and shows the other communication channels. But language can be a barrier... Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: We want as many openSUSE ambassadors use Connect for local organizing as possible because they are the people who get the word out for us and if they use connect they not only can do a better job working together but we also have a way to communicate and interact with them. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312757
