Hi Carlos, This sounds like a great idea! I would be happy to organize such events for potential contributors from Turkey.
I spoke during some sessions in AB17 conference this year in Turkey. Some of them were about localization of free software to Turkish, and I went through GNOME's translation workflow as an example. -The topic was general initially, but I couldn't resist, and turned it into a GNOME event :)- You may check the details of the event on the wiki page: https://wiki.gnome.org/Events/AB17 Others have already provided valuable input, but I would like to emphasize importance of quality over quantity once more. I think measure of success should be more flexible than x number of strings or y number of modules.
