Els powwows són trobades informals de grups d'usuaris de ProZ.com que viuen a prop. Es tracta d'esdeveniments organitzats per i per a traductors locals.
2.2 - D'on ve el terme "powwow"?
Els powwows són reunions tradicionals dels pobles natius americans que de vegades incloïen competicions de dansa. Aquest terme ha adoptat un significat més general per designar una reunió social on es realitzen activitats.
Hi ha qui considera els powwows com a força unificadora, ja que són un element cultural comú en diverses tribus que són diferents en altres aspectes.
2.3 - Què passa als powwows?
Els powwows proporcionen la possibilitat d'establir connexions professionals i socialitzar-se amb altres col·legues, és a dir, l'oportunitat de conèixer les persones que hi ha rere els perfils.
La majoria d'organitzadors ofereixen als assistents la possibilitat de presentar-se i de realitzar anuncis. De vegades, s'escull un tema, com ara: "Eines de TAO", "Literatura", "Treball autònom" o "Traductors novells". De vegades, un usuari s'ofereix com a voluntari per parlar sobre un tema i, si hi els assistents hi estan interessats, l'organitzador ho pot permetre.
Alguns organitzadors han convidat representants de clients grans o d'eines de traducció assistida per parlar o fer demostracions. En general, això ha estat ben rebut. Malgrat tot, és important que el to d'aquestes reunions sigui informatiu i no comercial.
Alguns powwows no tenen un programa o una temàtica determinats, i això també està bé. Bàsicament, si n'ets l'organitzador, pots crear l'esdeveniment que vulguis.
Atenció: Els organitzadors han de prendre nota dels noms i els ID dels usuaris que assisteixin a l'esdeveniment. Per facilitar aquesta tasca, es demana als membres que indiquin el seu ID de ProZ.com. Els usuaris que hi assisteixin han de rebre browniz, però això només es pot fer si indiquen els números de membre i si l'organitzador els introdueix després al full d'assistència en línia.
2.4 - Qui hi pot assistir?
Hi pot assistir qualsevol persona que estigui registrada a ProZ.com, independentment de la seva condició de membre. A més, els cònjuges, fills i convidats dels membres, així com els traductors que no siguin membres de ProZ.com, hi són benvinguts.
2.5 - S'ha de pagar per assistir a un powwow?
De moment, no cal pagar per assistir a un powwow. Malgrat tot, els organitzadors locals esperen que contribuïu amb la part que us pertoca de les despeses de l'esdeveniment. Si el powwow consisteix en una petita trobada per fer un cafè o per sopar, probablement cadascú haurà de pagar el que consumeixi. En cas de trobades més grans, l'organitzador local proposarà que es divideixin les despeses de menjar, begudes, etc.
Més endavant, pot ser que els usuaris registrats a ProZ.com sense ser-ne membres hagin de pagar per assistir-hi. En el cas dels estudiants, el cost serà menor o l'assistència serà gratuïta.
2.6 - Puc venir amb els meus fills o amb convidats?
Sí, tant la família com els convidats hi són benvinguts.
2.7 - Hi assistirà un representant de ProZ.com?
En alguns casos, hi haurà una persona amb la facultat de verificar les identitats dels assistents. Els usuaris registrats podran presentar un document d'identitat amb fotografia per tal que els representants designats en puguin verificar la identitat.
Si esteu organitzant un powwow i ja disposeu de la verificació d'identitat, podeu presentar una sol·licitud d'assistència demanant que se us atorgui el dret de verificar la identitat d'altres usuaris. Se us demanarà que confirmeu que només verificareu les identitats dels usuaris que conegueu en persona i que us hagin mostrat un document d'identitat amb fotografia.
2.8 - Quan se celebra el proper powwow a la meva zona?
Per poder veure anuncis dels propers powwows del vostre país, cal que us assegureu d'haver indicat el país (així com la població i la regió) al vostre perfil.
8.1 - Com em puc apuntar a l'esdeveniment?
Consulteu la pàgina de powwows per veure si se'n celebra un a la vostra zona. Feu clic al powwow més proper i afegiu-hi el nom si us interessa assistir-hi. (El podeu eliminar en qualsevol moment sense compromís.) Per afegir una nota al costat del nom, introduïu text al quadre abans de fer-hi clic.
Visiteu la pàgina de tant en tant per ajudar a organitzar l'esdeveniment o per mantenir-vos al corrent.
2.9 - S'espera que hi assisteixi si afegeixo el meu nom?
Moltes persones només afegeixen el nom per assegurar-se d'estar informats de l'esdeveniment. Com a organitzador, heu de planificar comptant amb l'assistència de només un 40-50% de les persones que afegeixin el nom.
Per tenir una idea més aproximada del nombre de persones que hi assistiran (per exemple, per reservar), podeu demanar que les persones confirmin l'assistència durant la mateixa setmana de l'esdeveniment.
2.10 - Puc organitzar un powwow?
Si sou membre de ProZ.com o usuari registrat amb identitat verificada, podeu proposar un powwow a la vostra zona emplenant el formulari corresponent a la pàgina de powwows. ProZ.com pot aprovar o no aprovar el powwow.
Si s'aprova la ubicació, podeu organitzar l'esdeveniment com vulgueu. Us haureu de responsabilitzar, per exemple, de decidir un lloc per celebrar l'esdeveniment (i reservar-lo), fixar el dia i l'hora, escollir una temàtica i enviar missatges periòdics als possibles assistents per mantenir-los informats sobre l'esdeveniment i perquè puguin participar en la planificació.
Haureu de prendre nota dels assistents a l'esdeveniment i introduir aquesta informació al formulari en línia un cop finalitzat (fes clic a "Enter Attendance" a la part superior de la pàgina del powwow). Es recomana portar una còpia impresa de la llista d'assistència al powwow perquè l'emplenin els assistents.
2.11 - I am organizing a powwow and I'd like to invite more people to attend. How can I do it?
You can submit a powwow promotion request. To do so click on the "Request promotional email" link at the top of the page of the powwow you are organizing. This will lead you to the page where you can submit your promotion request together with a sample text you can use for the invitation. Note: this feature is only available to powwow organizers
Powwows can also be promoted on Social Networks such as Twitter and Facebook by clicking on the buttons at the top of each powwow page.
2.12 - I am organizing a powwow and I would like to include an image on the powwow page. How can I do that?
Please submit a support request and attach the image you would like to include on the powwow page. Please make sure you also include the link to the powwow you are organizing.
2.13 - Should the text of the invitation to my powwow be in English only?
No. You can use the invitation in English provided as a model and translate it into the language in which the powwow will be held.
2.14 - What happens after I submit my promotion request?
You will be contacted by site staff with an update of your request status through the support request that is automatically generated after you submit the promotion request.
2.15 - No trobo l'enllaç "Enter attendance" a la pàgina del powwow. Com és, això?
L'enllaç a la secció [Enter Attendance] triga 24 hores a aparèixer a la pàgina del powwow i només és visible per a l'organitzador. Si no n'ets l'organitzador, et pots posar en contacte amb aquesta persona i demanar-li que introdueixi l'assistència.
2.16 - He penjat les fotos que vaig fer del powwow, però no veig res.
Poden passar fins a 24 hores per tal que les fotos que pengeu a la pàgina del powwow es puguin veure. En cas que no les veieu després de 24 hores, proveu de penjar-les de nou o envieu una sol·licitud d'assistència.
2.17 - Com es concedeixen els browniz per organitzar un powwow o assistir-hi?
Els organitzadors de powwows reben 2.000 browniz i els assistents, 200.
Per tal que l'organitzador i els assistents rebin browniz, l'organitzador ha de completar el full d'assistència en línia. Els browniz s'assignaran en el termini d'un dia de la presentació del full d'assistència.
Si no hi ha cap organitzador oficial, però un dels assistents del powwow disposa d'un full d'assistència completat (o bé coneix totes les persones que hi han assistit), aquesta persona ha d'enviar una sol·licitud d'assistència demanant que se li permeti completar l'assistència del powwow. Així, rebrà els 2.000 browniz per fer-ho i farà possible que cada assistent rebi els 200 browniz que li pertoquen.
És poc pràctic per al personal de ProZ.com haver de completar l'assistència de cada persona. Es confia en els organitzadors per tal que realitzin aquesta tasca i informin sobre l'assistència. Si encara no heu rebut els browniz per haver assistit a un powwow, cal que us poseu en contacte amb l'organitzador del powwow.

Les conferències Internacionals tenen lloc un cop l'any i són més grans que les conferències regionals. El seu públic objectiu són tots els usuaris de ProZ.com. Com a conseqüència d'això, les conferències internacionals són esdeveniments exclusivament en angles.
Les conferènciesregionals estan destinades principalment als traductors que viuen en una àrea en particular o de treball en un idioma determinat. Les sessions en els esdeveniments regionals poden estar en anglès o en l'idioma local, i algunes sessions poden abordar temes que són d'interès principalment per als de la zona o que treballen en l'idioma seleccionat. Mentre que els que no treballen en l'idioma corresponent, ni viuen a la zona no es veuran impedits d'assistir als esdeveniments regionals, és important que l'audiència es comuniqui amb claredat, de manera que els que opten per assistir de totes maneres no siguin decebuts.

The networking and fun aspect of ProZ.com conferences is still present - Seminars end with a powwow.

Sempre que la conferència tingui beneficis, els organitzadors rebran la seva part del benefici. El percentatge d’aquesta participació s’acorda abans que comenci la planificació de l’esdeveniment. Si hi ha dos organitzadors, aquest import es dividirà entre ells a la seva discreció. Si l’esdeveniment perd, els organitzadors no rebran cap pagament, però no se suposa que cobriran cap de les pèrdues.
4.5 - Interferirà aquesta tasca amb el meu treball como traductor?
De vegades sí. Espereu dedicar unes 100 hores a activitats relacionades amb la conferència i planifiqueu dedicar la major part del vostre temps de treball durant la setmana o dues abans de l'esdeveniment a les comunicacions amb els assistents.
Si això sona descoratjador, recordeu que no estareu sols. En treballar amb el planificador d’esdeveniments per dur a terme les vostres principals activitats amb molta antelació a l’esdeveniment, podeu ajudar a minimitzar l’impacte immediat de la participació de la conferència en el vostre treball independent. A més, és possible que trobeu que l'exposició obtinguda mitjançant l'organització d'una conferència millora el vostre negoci independent després de l'esdeveniment.
4.6 - Haig de fer planificació financera?
Si, conjuntament amb el Coordinador de conferències.

• When purchasing training sessions with a special discount. ProZ.com offers site users high quality training sessions along with special offers. A normal practice during training sales is to issue training credits that can be used in lieu of payment to take advantage of the offer.
• When purchasing training with a third party. A typical example is when a translator purchases translation software that includes training on the tool.
• When a training session is canceled in accordance to ProZ.com cancellation policy. In these cases the credit can be used to sign up for the next available session on the same topic, or be fully or partially redeemed for other ProZ.com training.
Remember that it can take up to two working days before training credits are issued.
8.9 - Am I automatically registered for a course once purchase a special offer?
No. Upon the purchase of a special offer you will be awarded a training credit. You will be emailed with the redemption instructions. Follow the instruction to redeem ("purchase") a training.
Remember: it can take up to two working days for a training credit to be awarded. If you do not receive a notification with redemption instructions during three working days please submit a support request.
8.10 - How do I redeem my training credit?
To redeem a credit, visit a page of a training you want to take and "purchase" a training with your credit by clicking on a "Purchase for $ (Use purchase credit)" button on the right upper corner, as it is suggested on this screenshot.
Upon credit redemption, you will receive a confirmation of your registered and paid status for the course.
You will receive an invitation to join the webinar at least two times: 24 hours and one hour before the training session takes place, or earlier. Please, click the registration link or button provided in the invitation email and complete the registration form. Make sure you do not run any heavy applications during the webinar as this can cause audio problems. Run the connectivity test before purchasing a webinar: http://www.proz.com/faq/4997#4997.
8.11 - Why I have not received my credit yet?
It can take up to two working days from the moment you receive an invoice confirmation to a training credit to be awarded. Therefore it is suggested to purchase a special payment once you receive an invitation.
Please know that depending on which payment type you use, the special offer purchase may not be processed the same day. For example, if you pay by wire transfer, it could take up to 2 weeks before we receive your payment, hence the fact that your training status will not be upgraded until the day we have received full payment.

VoIP Best Practices
If you join the Webinar using VoIP, please note that audio quality can vary based on your audio software/hardware manufacturer as well as your operating system. When using VoIP, the following best practices are recommended:
• For optimum sound quality, a headset is recommended, preferably a USB headset.
• If a headset is not available, speakers are required to listen to the Webinar and a USB microphone to speak (if the organizer gives you speaking rights).
• If using a microphone, it should be at least 1.5 feet away from any speakers built in or connected to your PC.
• The use of a Webcam microphone is not recommended.
• If you are unmuted by the organizer, you may need to turn the volume down on your speakers to avoid echo.
IMPORTANT
Dropped words, delay or robotic sound during webinar presentation is often due to poor network performance, lack of memory or high CPU usage. Please close all applications you are not using during the presentation.
For optimum performance when using VoIP, we recommend a broadband Internet connection (see System requirements above)
9.5 - How can I test my connectivity before the online session takes place?
You can also run the GoToMeeting Connection Wizard. It tests and determines the ideal connection settings that GoToWebinar can make within your network. After running the wizard, you can store your optional connection settings on your Windows computer and use those settings in the future to connect to sessions.
1. Please download the GoToMeeting Connection Wizard. The G2MConnectionWizard.exe file should download in your default browser.
2. Open the G2MConnectionWizard.exe file and run the software when prompted.
3. When the GoToMeeting Connection Wizard launches, click Next to start the connection test. GoToMeeting's home page should launch in your default browser. If you're not redirected to www.gotomeeting.com, open your browser and go to that page.
4. Click "OK" to continue. The Connection Wizard will determine the best connection setting for your computer when connecting to GoToMeeting. This process may take a few minutes to complete.
5. Once the detection process is complete, click "Next".
6. Then run GoToMeeting by hosting or joining a session to see if the connection settings work properly.
You will have 3 options:
• If GoToMeeting now properly connections to the GoToMeeting service infrastructure, click "Next" > Finish to complete the Connection Wizard test.
• If GoToMeeting now properly connects to the GoToMeeting service infrastructure, but I still experience problems, contact Support Center for further troubleshooting. You may be asked to provide a GoToMeeting Connection Wizard report by clicking Wizard Report.
• If GoToMeeting still cannot connect to the GoToMeeting service infrastructure, contact Support Center for further troubleshooting. You may be asked to provide a GoToMeeting Connection Wizard report by clicking Wizard Report.
IMPORTANT: If you are experiencing issues when connecting to your Webinar it may be due to an Internet Security application such as a Firewall. For more reference, check the GoToWebinar article on Optimal Firewall Configuration.
