Sammy Fung is a founding member and community manager of several open source groups in Hong Kong, including the Hong Kong Linux User Group (HKLUG), Open Source Hong Kong, and the GNOME Foundation Asia Committee. He discussed the history and activities of these groups, which started locally in 1997 and have expanded throughout Asia and globally. Key activities mentioned include exhibitions, seminars, workshops, and conferences. The groups aim to bring together open source communities, understand both Western and Chinese cultures, and promote freedom of speech. Fung encouraged participation in upcoming events like the Hong Kong Open Source Conference in October 2013.
