Tunisian blogger Sami Ben Gharbia on the Global Voices summit recently held in Delhi, India (Fr): “A will to build a francophone version of Global Voices and to spread the Global Voices China experiment was expressed. The first objective consists in translating in French what is written in English on GV … That initiative, approved by the two co-founders of GV, Ethan Zuckerman and Rebecca McKinnon was proposed by Alice Backer, Jennifer Brea and myself. We hope to have an independent space soon, something along the lines of francophonie.globalvoices.org …”
