Zk Av Club Foundry s01e02 — Building a Global Community
For our next session of Zk Av Club Foundry, we’ll be exploring what it takes to build a truly global community. In the Salon, our panel will discuss the philosophies, tools, and best practices that foster meaningful collaboration across borders. From decentralized communication platforms to translation workflows and cultural considerations, we’ll examine how communities can stay connected, inclusive, and resilient in a multilingual, digital-first world.
Following the conversation, the Lab will dive into the practical side of accessibility, focusing on producing translation subtitles for livestream events. We’ll walk through the tools and workflows needed to generate and sync translations in real time, making decentralized media more inclusive to diverse audiences. Whether you're an experienced translator or new to the process, this workshop will equip you with valuable skills to support global participation in online events.

Salon: Informative discussions with people who work in the field, covering everything from peer-to-peer (p2p) file sharing to community governance, from brand and design to privacy in collaborative ecosystems.
Lab: Practical workshops where you can get your hands dirty with real-world applications, from event coverage and content creation using free open-source software (FOSS) to understanding decentralized livestreaming solutions.
