Attended GNOME.Asia 2015 in Indonesia

I am really happy have a chance to attend GNOME.Asia 2015 summit in Indonesia. This is my first time join to GNOME conference, it's also my first time visit to Indonesia. I really appreciate for GNOME Taiwan community and openSUSE Indonesia community friends' help in Depok. And I very think for GNOME.Asia and openSUSE's sponsor to my air ticket and hotel. It's a wonderful experience to me.

The location of GNOME.Asia 2015 venue is at University of Indonesia, Depok. It's a beautiful university:

openSUSE Indonesia friends setup computer, Raspberry pi to demo openSUSE. And also they provide interesting questionnaire for earning openSUSE T-shirt:

openSUSE Indonesia friends. Edwin, Yan, Adnan, Andi. Without them, it's impossible to setup wonderful booth to openSUSE. They also handle a amazing project to promote OSS in schools:

The big hall for start/end and lighten talking:

Sesions start at the day 1 afternoon...
Join to the session "Open Source Software in Shoes Industry", Iwan S. Tahari. He is from shoes manufacture "Fans" to present their status of using OSS in the company. "Fans" is also the sponsor of GNOME.Aisa shoes:

"Fans" is using OSS on desktop and server for their designing and making shoes:


The second session that I joined is Chen Shing Yuan's presentation "Promote FOSS Education to Remote Areas in Taiwan and China":

The Aletheia University in Taiwan have a project to promoting OSS, English and Culture to the school in Xinjiang, China. It's far and less resource for the children in school:

The third session I joined is Anton Siswo Raharjo Ansori's "An Overview, Maximize The Ability of The GNU/Linux Operating System Using "In Memory Computation" for Academic, Business and Government":

The lighten talk of day one:

Talking with GNOME contributor:

The local GNOME user raised questions to experts:


I join to Edwin's session at afternoon on day 2:

The subject of Edwin's session is "Using Linux for Basic Education, Is it Feasible?":

Their project is promoting OSS to schools:


It's amazing for Edwin's project already promote and setup OSS to 500 schools. Cool!

It's really not easy to promoting OSS to teachers and students. openSUSE Indonesia community show us their tough working:

Then I join to Matthew Waters's session: "gtkgst: Video in your Widgets!"

Then Bin Li's interesting session "GNOME-Shell on Nexus 7". I think the only problem is need to find out the official kernel of Nexus 7 that's announced by Google:

Then, join to Franklin Weng & Eric Sun's "The evolution of ezgo development & Why Do We Insist Promoting FOSS in Taiwan's Campus?":

The ezgo is also a excellent project in Taiwan launched for education:

I am really happy to join GNOME.Asia 2015 summit. Not just to meet GNOME community friends from many different counties, but also I meet openSUSE community friends in Indonesia. I hope there have chance openSUSE.Asia can go to Indonesia, then I can trip to this good country again.
