GitLab / GitLab Contribute 2021

GitLab team members are located in 68 countries! Let's learn some fun words in other languages and then contribute to GitLab localization!
We will start by sharing which country each person is from and what languages they speak and each person will teach the group some words (like hello, how are you? good morning, good evening).
After this introduction round, the presenter will show how to contribute to GitLab's localization. We will all pull out our laptops and contribute to additional language support for GitLab.

Abstract: human beings as a species are as knowledgable as they've ever been. In the past few years, we've landed robots on Mars, commercialized artificial intelligence, and unlocked breakthroughs like gene therapy. Is there room for spirituality/spirit in today's high tech world?

The surprising answer is a resounding yes. By many different measures, interest in spirituality is some of the highest it's ever been been. One paper by the University of Delhi found that the spirituality market is a "hugely growing industry" valued at over thirty billion dollars in India alone. Why?

In this talk, we will explain what spirituality is and tell some stories from our own personal experiences. Our panelist includes a Hindu seeker, an outdoorsman, and a priest from an ancient, secret religion.

Speakers: Christopher Wang, Michael LeBeau, and Kalyan Nathadwarawala.
