Hello, Last May 25th-26th (*), we had organized our first LibreOffice Asia Conference 2019 Tokyo. Here is a short report about it.
- Official site: https://conf.libreoffice.jp/ - participants: 80 - the largest number of people in the past for LibreOffice events in Japan - over the 20 people from foreign countries - from Taiwan, China, South Korea, India, Italy, Germany, Albania, and Nigeria - 25th was a conference day, one Japanese track and two English tracks - includes two keynotes - one was by Mark Hung about his story about LibO CJK issues - the other was by Italo and Lothar - all videos had been published at JP team youtube channel [1] - ... we will add EN subtitles for JA talks near future - and slides had also been posted at our site (although some are missing) [2] - 26th included two events; the business workshop and CJK Hackfest - in the business workshop, we had the certification interviews, which was the first in Japan and the second in Asia - and four new certified professionals were born (applause!) - Eric Sun from Taiwan, Jun Nogata, Hitoshi Sugimoto, and Jun Meguro from Japan - and discussed LibO / FLOSS business in Asia / end-user certification about ODF (proposed by Franklin Weng) - in CJK Hackfest, DaeHyun Sung from South Korea had achieved to solve tdf#125620 with help from Mark Hung and Takeshi Abe - however, any other attendees who are new to LibreOffice development (includes me) couldn't touch the "real" CJK issues in spite of the very extravagant mentors - whole the events, the lack of young participants is the next big issue to be solved - in the next opportunity in 2020, we thought that we are considering that we will prepare some budget for a scholarship program The photos taken by the participants are in TDF Nextcloud [3], but our official photographer Masataka Kondo is so busy now that only some of his photos have been placed. We're sorry.
