Call for Participation in Brazilian Publishing Community Group

The Brazilian Publishing Community Group has been launched:

The purpose of the Brazilian’s community group is to promote and foster the discussions around digital publications in Brazil, stimulate the adoption of the EPUB 3.1 standard by publishers and developers.

The local group will translate W3C documents, guidelines and specifications to minimize barriers with the non-native language and help in the understanding of the standards for a growing number of people. It is also the responsibility of this group, bring questions and pertinent feedback to W3C’s Publishing Working Group.

The group will organize regular meetings and events to mobilize more and more participants in local debates and also as a way to stimulate the EPUB 3.1 adoption by the Brazilian publishing industry.

In order to join the group, you will need a W3C account. Please note, however, that W3C Membership is not required to join a Community Group.

This is a community initiative. This group was originally proposed on 2017-06-05 by Selma Morais. The following people supported its creation: Selma Morais, Vagner Diniz, Reinaldo Ferraz, Tomislav Novak, Milton Ponson, Jose Fernando Tavares, Clecio Bachini, Caroline Burle, Antonio Hermida, SChoolWab Shafiqul Islam, Giovanna Brito Castelhano, Amanda Ramalho. W3C’s hosting of this group does not imply endorsement of the activities.

The group must now choose a chair. Read more about how to get started in a new group and good practice for running a group.

We invite you to share news of this new group in social media and other channels.

If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please email us at site-comments@w3.org
