(subprojects)= # Working Groups, Funded Projects and Informal Initiatives This page provides access to various group-based initiatives or subprojects, listed under three themes: working groups that guide the different areas of work as a formal part of Turing's governance, funded projects that are led by members in a paid capacity and informal initiatives that are led by members through collaboration around shared interests. These subprojects are often time-bound and are supported by community members who take open leadership roles in response to the emergent and timely opportunities in the research and open science ecosystem. ## Working Groups Led by Community Members ### Translation and Localisation Working Group Leads *Project Information: [Chapter in the Community Handbook](https://book.the-turing-way.org/community-handbook/translation)* - [Andrea Sanchez Tapia](https://book.the-turing-way.org/afterword/contributors-record#andrea-sanchez-tapia) - [Batool Almarzouq](https://book.the-turing-way.org/afterword/contributors-record#batool-almarzouq) - [Melissa Black](https://book.the-turing-way.org/afterword/contributors-record#melissa-black) ### Infrastructure Working Group Leads *Project Information: [GitHub issues](https://github.com/the-turing-way/the-turing-way/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Ainfrastructure)* - Chair: [Danny Garside](https://book.the-turing-way.org/afterword/contributors-record#danny-garside) - Co-Chair: [Jim Madge](https://book.the-turing-way.org/afterword/contributors-record#jim-madge) - Secretary: [Sarah Gibson](https://book.the-turing-way.org/afterword/contributors-record#sarah-gibson) - Member: [Brigitta Sipőcz](https://book.the-turing-way.org/afterword/contributors-record#brigitta-sipocz) - Member: [Johana Bayer](https://book.the-turing-way.org/afterword/contributors-record#likeajumprope) The Infrastructure working group chair rotates every 6 months, with responsibilities shared among different members of the working groups.
