Powwow adalah pertemuan ramah tamah diantara anggota ProZ.com yang bertempat tinggal tidak saling berjauhan. Acara ini dikelola oleh penterjemah lokal yang diperuntukkan bagi rekannya yang tinggal tidak jauh.
2.2 - Berasal dari kata apa 'Powwow?
Powwow adalah kebiasaan pertemuan orang Amerika Asli, yang biasa juga diseling dengan acara perlombaan dansa. Kata ini sudah dianggap berarti pertemuan sosial dimana tugas dilaksanakan.
Powwow dipandang sebagai upaya pemersatu, karena terdapat elemen budaya rakyat biasa pada berbagai suku bangsa.
2.3 - Apa saja acara di Powwow?
Powwow memberikan peluang untuk berjejaring dan bersosialisasi secara informal di antara para profesional bahasa - kesempatan untuk bertemu orang-orang di balik profil mereka.
Sebagian besar penyelenggara menawarkan peserta sebuah kesempatan untuk memperkenalkan diri dan membuat pengumuman. Terkadang, sebuah tema dipilih; contohnya: 'Perkakas CAT', 'Literatur', 'Penerjemahan lepas', 'Para penerjemah baru'. Terkadang pengguna suka rela berbicara mengenai satu topik, dan dengan adanya minat yang ditunjukkan oleh peserta lainnya, penyelenggara memperbolehkannya.
Beberapa penyelenggara telah mengundang perwakilan dari klien-klien besar, atau vendor perkakas CAT, untuk berbicara atau unjuk kebolehan. Umumnya hal ini diterima dengan baik. Penting, bagaimanapun juga, bahwa pertemuan-pertemuan seperti ini bersifat informatif daripada komersil.
Beberapa powwow tidak memiliki agenda dan tema, dan itu sah-sah saja. Pada dasarnya, jika Anda seorang penyelenggara, suka-suka Anda untuk membuatnya!
Catatan: Para penyelenggara harus mencatat nama dan identitas para pengguna yang hadir. Untuk memfasilitasinya, para anggota diminta membawa identitas ProZ.com mereka. Para pengguna yang hadir harus menerima browniz, tetapi itu hanya bisa terjadi jika mereka membawa nomor keanggotaan, dan penyelenggara memasukkannya ke lembar kehadiran daring sesudah acara.
2.4 - Siapa saja yang akan hadir?
Semua orang yang terdaftar di ProZ.com bisa hadir tanpa memandang status keanggotaannya. Selain itu, suami/istri, anak-anak serta tamu anggota, dan juga penterjemah yang bukan anggota ProZ.com ikut diharapkan hadir.
2.5 - Apakah ada biaya untuk hadir?
Hingga saat ini, belum ada biaya untuk hadir pada acara powwow. Akan tetapi, Anda diminta untuk menyumbang biaya yang bakal dikeluarkan oleh penyelenggara lokal. Jika powwow adalah pertemuan dengan minum-minum atau makan kecil-kecilan, kemungkinan biayanya harus Anda bayar sendiri. Untuk acara kumpul-kumpul yng lebih besar, penyelenggara lokal akan mengajukan biaya khusus untuk makanan dan minuman dll.
Pasa masa mendatang, kemungkinan ada biaya kehadiran untuk bukan anggota terdaftar ProZ.com. Untuk penterjemah pemula, biaya ini akan diberikan diskon atau malah dibebaskan sama sekali.
2.6 - Bisakah saya membawa serta anak-anak? Dan juga tamu?
Ya, keluarga dan tamu dipersilakan datang.
2.7 - Apakah perwakilan ProZ.com juga hadir?
Dalam beberapa hal, akan ada seseorang yang diberi kuasa untuk menentukan identitas. Pemakai tercatat bisa jadi identitasnya disahkan oleh kartu pengenal diri dengan foto yang ditunjukkan kepada perwakilan yang ditentukan.
Jika Anda menyelenggarakan acara powwow dan sudah punya nomor identitas yang disahkan, Anda bisa mengajukan permintaan bantuan untuk meminta nomor identitas yang sah anggota lain. Anda akan diminta kepastian bahwa Anda hanya akan mengesahkan identitas anggota yang Anda temui dan yang dapat menunjukkan identitas foto.
2.8 - Kapan powwow selanjutnya akan diadakan di lokasi tempat tinggal saya?
Panitia ini akan menunjukkan powwow yang akan datang: http://www.proz.com/powwows
Untuk dapat ditampilkan pada iklan banner pada powwow yang akan datang di negara Anda, pastikan pada profil Anda sudah dimasukkan nama negara (dan kota serta wilayah tempat tinggal).
8.1 - Bagaimana caranya saya mendaftar untuk hadir?
Beri tanda cek pada panitia powwow di lokasi Anda. Klik pada panitia powwow yang tidak jauh dari tempat tinggal Anda dan tulis nama Anda jika memang berminat. (Nama Anda setiap saat bisa saja dihapus tanpa dikenai sangsi.) Untuk membubuhi catatan disamping nama Anda, tulislah yang diinginkan di dalam kotak sebelum mengklik.
Dari waktu ke waktu kunjungilah panitia powwow untuk ikut memberi masukan rencana yang akan ditindaklanjuti atau membaca berita terbaru.
2.9 - Apakah saya harus hadir jika saya memasukkan nama saya?
Banyak orang yang memasukkan namanya hanya ingin kepastian akan diberi informasi. Sebagai penyelenggara, Anda seyogianya memperkirakan hanya kira-kira 40-50% dari nama yang masuk akan hadir.
Untuk memperoleh perkiraan yang tepat banyaknya orang yang akan hadir (memesan tempat, dll.), mintalah konfirmasi kehadiran seminggu sebelum acara berlangsung.
2.10 - Bisakah saya menyelenggarakan Powwow?
Jika Anda anggota ProZ.com atau pemakai terdaftar dengan identitas yang benar, Anda dapat mengajukan usul untuk diadakannya powwow di lokasi tempat tinggal Anda dengan mengisi formulir yang layak pada laman powwow. ProZ.com kemungkinan bisa atau tidak bisa menyetujui acara powwow Anda.
Jika lokasi tempat tinggal Anda disetujui, acara yang direncanakan tergantung Anda yang menentukan. Tanggung jawab Anda akan meliputi menentukan tempat diselenggarakannya acara (dan memesan tempat), menentukan tanggal dan waktunya, memilih tema dan mengirim pemberitahuan berkala kepada yang amat berminat hadir dengan memberi informasi terbaru dan termasuk juga perencanaan.
Anda diharapkan mengundang peserta yang akan hadir pada acara tersebut dan memasukkan data peserta pada formulir yang ada di internet setelah acara berlangsung. (klik "Enter Attendance" pada bagian atas laman powwow). Anda dianjurkan membagikan pada acara powwow, lembar kertas salinan tercetak, untuk diisi oleh peserta powwow.
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 - Saya tidak dapat menemukan tautan "Enter attendance (Masukkan Daftar Hadir)" pada laman powwow, mengapa?
[Masukkan Daftar Hadir] butuh waktu selama 24 jam untuk dapat tampil pada laman powwow dan hanya dapat dilihat oleh penyelenggara powwow. Jika Anda bukan penyelenggaranya, Anda dapat mengkontak orang tersebut dan memintanya memasukkan kehadirannya.
2.16 - Saya mengunggah foto powwow saya namun gagal.
Untuk dapat melihat foto yang Anda unggah ke laman powwwow Anda perlu waktu selama 24 jam. Jika setelah 24 jam Anda belum juga melihat foto tersebut, harap coba lagi mengunggah atau ajukan permintaan bantuan .
2.17 - Bagaimana pemberian nilai BrowniZ bagi penyelenggara/pengikut pada acara Powwow?
Penyelenggara Powwow akan menerima 2000 BrowniZ. Peserta Powwow akan menerima 200 browniz.
Supaya penyelenggara dan peserta powwow dapat menerima browniz, penyelenggara diharuskan mengisi lembar daftar hadir di internet. Browniz akan diberikan sehari setelah lembar daftar hadir sudah diisi.
Jika tidak ada penyelenggara resmi, maka seseorang yang hadir pada acara powwow yang memegang lembar daftar hadir yang sudah diisi (atau mengetahui ada yang ikut hadir), maka orang tersebut harus mengajukanSupport Request (Permintaan Bantuan) yang meminta untuk diperbolehkan mengirim daftar hadir Powwow. Maka dengan demikian, orang tersebut akan menerima 2000 BrowniZ, dan tentunya setiap peserta akan menerima 200 BrowniZ.
Hal demikian, tidak praktis bila dilakukan oleh seorang staf ProZ.com. Penyelenggara bertugas mengambil dan melaporkan daftar hadir. Jika Anda belum menerima browniz pada acara powwow yang dihadiri, harap kontak penyelenggaranya.

3.2 - Apa perbedaan antara muktamar regional dengan internasional?
Muktamar internasional berlangsung sekali dalam setahun serta cakupannya lebih besar daripada muktamar regional. Hadirin yang dituju adalah semua pemakai ProZ.com. Oleh karenanya, muktamar internasional ini adalah acara dengan hanya mempergunakan bahasa Inggris.
Muktamar regional terutama dimaksudkan untuk penerjemah yang tinggal di wilayah atau bekerja dengan bahasa spesifiknya. Rapat pada acara regional bisa mempergunakan bahasa inggris atau bahasa setempat, dan beberapa rapat ditujukan dengan tema yang terutama diminati bagi lokasi atau pekerjaaan lokal pada bahasa yang ditentukan.

You can test your connectivity before the online session takes place as suggested at http://www.proz.com/faq/4997#4997 or participate in a free webinar to make sure you are all set.
9.4 - Which are the audio options?
You can join ProZ.com Webinar via VoIP (Mic & Speakers) or telephone. Your choice of audio mode is provided in the Audio pane of your Control Panel. (see image below)
By default, you will be joined into the Webinar muted.
Note: If you choose to join via VoIP, you will need speakers to listen to the Webinar and a microphone to speak (if the organizer gives you speaking rights).
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.
