Summary
Open Science community Saudi Arabia (OSCSA) was established in line with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which focuses on installing values, enhancing knowledge and improving equal access to education. It aims to provide a place where newcomers and experienced peers interact, inspire each other to embed open science practices and values in their workflows and provide feedback on policies, infrastructures and support services. Our community is part of the International Network of Open Science & Scholarship Communities (INOSC).
Open Science has a blog post, not yet linked to the website, created using Quarto.

Task 4
The task is described in issue Open-Science-Community-Saudi-Arabia/MOOCs#1
Task 5
Our OSCSA blog is built using Quarto. We would like ti to improve the continues integration and deployment (CI/CD) for the blog in GitHub using GitHub action. At the moment, we have a file called .github/workflows/workflows.yml
but the preview for the deployment isn't working well as you can see in PR #5.
In this task, open an issue to address this problem and then a PR to fix it.
Task 6

Arabic content is available at this repository, please note that we don't want to have two repositories for each language.
You can find tips in this discussion and here is an example of repo that successfully run bilingual content in Quarto
This task is allowed by more than one individual!
