Hi Richard! I really don't want to appear arrogant and/or lecturing you, nonetheless I want to say that we moved far off topic in this thread already. Additionally: It's hard to miss that you and Sarah somehow have continuing differences. I can't say why, but I'd love to see you both rather talk to each other in person to overcome those differences or at least agree to something like a gentlemen's and ladies' agreement to show some more respect for each other and focus more onto the project than starting some unnecessary personal vendetta. Just as Sarah I somehow missed how big our community obviously is in China and HK, too. So at least we got something good out of everything: Spreading the word about the many contributors from China and HK. You are welcome and everyone here appreciates your contributions to openSUSE.

There may not be many Chinese people listed on that old crusty wiki page but as a champion of the openSUSE Asia community I have to strongly object to any suggestion that "we don't have many Contributors in China"
We have a lot, and I hope none of them are insulted by the suggestion from a Board candidate that they don't exist.
Sorry, that I didn't know abot these openSUSE Contributors! The question is, why we don't contribute to other open-source events in Asia then. That's it, what Ariez wants to know and needs. I want to support them. That is not possible, if we don't know about them as Advocates.
We do contribute to other open-source events in Asia..all the time..
Coscup, every GNOME Asia I can think of, events across indonesia, japan, china.. our Asian community generally and Chinese community specifically are everywhere, all the time.
We don't formally track Advocates and haven't for quite some time, ever since the Board decided to officially end the program as a formal affair and encorage anyone to advocate for openSUSE.
You were part the Board that made that decision at our Face to Face Board meeting in Prague. This is when Simon Lees moved the page you linked to the wiki Archive on day 2 of that meeting, on 23 May 2018:
https://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Archive:Advocates_list&diff=131162&o ldid=125920
So I would expect that Archived page to be totally wrong and out of date - it was wrong and out of date when we all agreed to Archive it..
