My Contributions
Throughout the years, I have remained deeply committed to the Ubuntu project. I am actively involved in organizing and participating in various Ubuntu-related events, including conferences, awareness campaigns, training sessions, and workshops. Since 2021, I have proudly served as the Global Team Organizer for UbuCon Asia, a responsibility I continue to fulfill.
In addition to my local efforts, I am well-acquainted with the culture and community in several Asia-Pacific countries, including Indonesia, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, and India. My involvement across these diverse communities has strengthened my ability to listen, adapt, and build meaningful collaborations. I believe this exposure uniquely positions me to represent our region effectively on the council.
I also hold leadership positions in other open-source projects, such as organizing the GNOME Asia Summit since 2020 and being part of the Kubuntu Developer team, where I help test and review new packages before their release to the main repository. Additionally, I am a member of The Document Foundation (TDF), contributing to the LibreOffice project.
Why I am Running for Ubuntu Community Council
I am driven by a desire to amplify the voices from the APAC region within the global Ubuntu community. As far as I know, there has not yet been a representative from the APAC region on the Community Council, and I am eager to change that. I hope to be a bridge between APAC Ubuntu members and the broader Ubuntu ecosystem, ensuring that our Ubuntu community’s perspectives, concerns, and ideas are heard and addressed.
Having participated in multiple Ubuntu Developer Summits and Ubuntu Summits, I have seen firsthand the value of strong communication between the community and Canonical. If elected, I will work to strengthen these connections, helping to solve challenges and foster a more vibrant and inclusive community.
I pride myself on being open to feedback, committed to continuous improvement, and always willing to listen. I separate personal emotions from professional responsibilities, and I believe these qualities are crucial for anyone seeking to serve in a leadership role.
With my experience, dedication, and passion for Ubuntu, I am confident that I can contribute significantly to the work of the Ubuntu Community Council and would be honored to collaborate with fellow Ubuntu Community Council members to further Ubuntu’s mission.
