FOSS community is growing in Danang, the largest city in the middle of Vietnam. And my trip is really successful.<\/p>\n
In my two days working in Danang, I got interesting discussions with Danang FOSS groups and motivated them to connect together as a larger\/unified FOSS community. I met professors at Duy Tan university, the state department of Information and Communications of Danang and DanangLUG.<\/p>\n
At Duy Tan university, in the discussion with the head professor of Information Technology faculty, we agreed to support professors and students there to build a FOSS community inside the campus. They will involve into FOSS projects, especially Fedora; do more research and development with\/in FOSS. Currently, there are some FOSS-related subjects in Duy Tan university. With Fedora\/FOSS community growing, students will have more and more opportunities to join into FOSS projects to work on real ideas. If we have a good plan, some of them could be active contributors to Fedora and related work.
\nI will continuously discuss with them to make a detailed plan.<\/p>\n
Next, in the meeting with the state department of Information and Communications of Danang (with Duy Tan’s professor presents), I got their commitment on supporting (from government side) the FOSS community building in Duy Tan university and Danang.<\/p>\n
DanangLUG has been established for a few months and they have got some first activities\/events. Some of them have been active in FOSS contributions for years. I discussed with them to join directly into Fedora Project and contribute to Fedora. I believe that we will have chances to congratulate more Fedora Ambassadors and contributors soon and the first release party for Fedora 18 could be held in Danang in January 2013.<\/p>\n
