Hi, I attended to and held the following events in Japan. Here is my report.
* Open Source Conference 2015 Kansai@Kyoto * Comic Market 88 * Open Source Conference 2015 Niigata * openSUSE mini Summit 2015 Open Source Conference 2015 Kansai@Kyoto ======================================== OSC Kyoto was held on Aug. 7th and 8th at Kyoto research park. Since it is one of the biggest open source event in the west area of Japan, 1,150 people came to the conference for the two days. You can see photos and my presentation slides on: http://blog.geeko.jp/ftake/1111 Thanks to openSUSE marketing team, I received many items to distribute from Germany, such as lamp-shaped balls, stickers, and leaflets. Small Geekos were giving them to people who visited our booth. I had presentation about openSUSE Leap and YaST. I explained how easily we can build a file server, which allows accessing former versions of stored files. We can set up user account, network, file systems, and samba server by YaST. Then, Snapper and Barfs add the version control feature to samba server. Comic Market 88 =============== Comic Market is a series of huge comic events. About half million people came together for three days. https://www.google.co.jp/search?q=comic+market+88&tbm=isch We, openSUSE User Group members, published a new issue of our magazine, named Geeko Magazine, at that event. It consists of articles on: * openSUSE Leap 42.1 * Btrfs and Snapper * Taskwarrior * Wireshark and the Heartbleed attack * openSUSE on ConoHa IaaS service * A short story about Geeko and brass band Of course, the magazine was edited by using Scribus on openSUSE. Open Source Conference 2015 Niigata =================================== OSC Niigata is a small conference compared to OSC Kyoto or Tokyo. Niigata is a city 2-hour away from Tokyo by high-speed train. About 130 people came to the Niigata city library, looked around booths, and listened to presentations. Please check photos on our blog: http://blog.geeko.jp/ftake/1128 openSUSE mini Summit 2015 ========================= I decided holding a small openSUSE summit to call openSUSE users in Japan together. We were able to find 20 attendees for the summit. Please look the photos and you will feel fun! http://blog.geeko.jp/ftake/1147 There were a keynote, three presentations, and 4 lightening talks. The keynote was held by Kentaro Hatori (aka. hatochan). He is a 9th Japan OSS Award winner for organizing Linux user group meeting every month more than 12 years. The talk was about good relationship between distribution user groups and regional Linux user groups. He said that participating to Linux user group makes a good chance to find new users of openSUSE. At the end of the summit, we did Jan-ken (scissors-paper-rock game) to get an openSUSE T-shirt. They had to win against a girl dressed like Geeko! Looks fun? Looks cute? We spent wonderful afternoon with openSUSE community members. Beyond that summit, there will be openSUSE.Asia summit in Japan. That's all. Please don't forget openSUSE.Asia Summit 2015 in Taipei, Taiwan is going to be held on Dec. 5 and 6! One more thing --- when you visit Japan, please let us know. This year, we had already parties with Sakana, Andreas, and Ola, who attended to LinuxCon Japan.
