Greeting from Masafumi Ohta. In this session, he will share a digest of Day 2, focusing mainly on community management and the latest technologies.
Japanese IT tech communities are often tightly nailed down to specific regions — such as Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Hokkaido, and Fukuoka — in contrast to the more flexible structure of tech communities in other countries.
Masafumi will talk about the history and practices of these local communities, offering insights that may benefit your own. He will also discuss how to participate in and contribute to global IT communities, based on his professional experience in open source communities.
