Hi! Congratulations Indonesia team! Thanks a lot to both teams for the effort and eagerness put in the proposals. The openSUSE.Asia Organization Committee has proved in the last years not only to take the best decisions to spread openSUSE all around Asia but also to be an ideal example of what community organized conference means. I think (and I believe that the rest board members agree with me) that a decision made by the openSUSE.Asia Organization Committee doesn't need the approval of the board and that you have all our support! The only thing missing is the sponsorship which involves SUSE as well. The board have already publicly expressed its desire of increasing openSUSE.Asia TSP budget (as you can read in our meeting minutes [1]), but this is of course not official until SUSE approves it. Do you have a budget estimation or any other detail we should be aware of? Is there any timeline for the sponsorship approval?

Hi all,

As the result of the votes by representatives of openSUSE.Asia Organization Committee, we selected Bali, Indonesia for the host of openSUSE.Asia Summit 2019. Congratulations.

Since it will be the second summit in Indonesia, we expect it will be a great opportunity to increase active contributors in Indonesia and extend our community in Asia.

Thank you, India team for submitting your proposal this year. However, it is important that the summit is proposed by a team consisting of openSUSE contributors. To become a contributor, we recommend having local openSUSE events like hands-on for students or a release party. Another approach is spreading openSUSE at some FLOSS events in India. We hope to see you at the next summit and to hear about those activities.

The result of the vote:

* Bali, Indonesia (7) - Max, TW - nfsnfs (Lihan), TW - hashimotosyuta, JP - Kento Kawakami (kimitoboku), JP - AL Cho (alcho), TW - marguerite, CN - Eric Yeoh, MY

* Faridabad, India (3) - Sunny, CN - Hillwood Yang, CN - ftake, JP

Note that this decision is by openSUSE.Asia Organization Committee and the next summit have not been approved by the openSUSE board yet, especially for sponsorship.

Best regards, Fuminobu TAKEYAMA
