The Local ASF chapters allow us to meet the local Apache people in person. You can find more information here[1] This way, local open-source enthusiasts could get together by hosting events, publishing articles, making podcasts, etc. Sharing ASF's successful stories within the local community inspired more developers and talented college students to join open-source development. During the pandemic, we held online events to promote the Apache project and advocate the Apache Way and Open Source culture in China.
