[GNOME.Asia 2020] Under COVID-19 pandemic, Korea's Community Chllenges and Futures 25 Nov 2020, 17:45 Link: https://events.gnome.org/event/24/contributions/132/ 1. GNOME Korea Community GNOME Korea Community always was held software translation event on offline, annually in recent years. The event is a translation event during the string freezing period before GNOME release dates. The GNOME Korea community canceled the offline event this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, the event was held online. I will introduce how this year's online GNOME translation event was held and operated. Also, In this year(2020), GNOME Korea homepage is changed & updated. It moves google site to github static page. http://gnome.or.kr/ at that time, Former Ubuntu Community leader, Youngbin Han suggest CI module on github, and I(DaeHyun Sung) also suggest to fix GNOME sites and contribution members. While changing the homepage, I will talk about how Korean open source developers collaborated. 2. LibreOffice Korean Community I am a member of GNOME Korea and one of GNOME Foundation Member in Korea, but also a leader of the LibreOffice Korean Team & one of The Document Foundation memberships. I'm building LibreOffice Korean Community. I'm talking about my experience of starting a source code contribution[fix Korean Hangul/Hanja dictionary’s bug] and running a community from 2017 to now(2020). This year, I participate as a contribution mentor for the NIPA's contribution event with NIPA[National IT Industry Promotion Agency, IT Industry promotion organization by the Republic of Korea] cooperation. (The event teaches students and the public how to participate in open source activities.) With the help of NIPA, I will participate as a mentor for LibreOffice Korean language contribution and share how to promote LibreOffice in Korea. The above is taken from the following link. https://events.opensuse.org/conferences/oSLO/program/proposals/3154 I will summarize and release it for the GNOME event. I'll deal with both GNOME Korea & LibreOffice Korean Team situation under COVID-19 & shows future goals
