OSS meetups are common in Japan and are driven by volunteers. They include technical seminars, code reading parties, workshops, and conferences on topics like Linux kernel development. These events provide opportunities for sharing knowledge, networking, and building community. They face challenges around diversity and sustainability but provide value by empowering local contributors. The document encourages starting your own local technical events and shares tips for organizing successful volunteer-run meetups and conferences.
