Hi, there I am writing this mail to launch a discussion of starting an ALC chapter in Hangzhou, China. This idea came to my mind when I was in Beijing attending the Community Over Code Asia 2023 conference this September. I talked to a couple of ASF Members, PMCs, and Committers from different projects about this idea and got many positive feedbacks.
Hangzhou is one of several cities in China with a considerable amount of developers, the headquarters of many world leading tech companies. And most importantly, many ASF projects and their main contributors or members are from Hangzhou. As far as I know, projects like Apache RocketMQ, Apache Dubbo were originally born in Hangzhou, Apache Flink and Apache Seata (incubating) have most of their active contributors in Hangzhou. An ALC chapter here would provide a platform for those ASF projects and active contributors to build and foster a community. A community can also help to incubating more projects since Hangzhou is never lack of innovations and great ideas. I read this new chapter guide[1] laterly and am confident Hangzhou can meet the basic requirements (also, I would like to help collect those active ASF members and active contributors in Hangzhou later if necessary). Would be happy to hear your comments on this idea, thanks. 1. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/COMDEV/Process+to+establish+an+ALC+Chapter Regards, Jun Liu, Apache Dubbo PMC Chair live in Hangzhou❤️ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@community.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@community.apache.org
