DESCRIPTION:Open source is not only software we use\, but a way for enginee
 rs\, students\, companies\, communities\, and even countries to learn and 
 grow together. However\, many people in Asia still face barriers when tryi
 ng to join global open source communities: language\, cultural distance\, 
 lack of confidence\, and limited organizational support.\n\nIn this keynot
 e\, I will share how we have approached these challenges in Japan through 
 Kubernetes Upstream Training Japan\, Cloud Native Community Japan\, locali
 zation activities\, and corporate open source strategy. These efforts star
 ted as local-language onboarding\, but gradually evolved into a pathway th
 at helps users take their first steps toward real upstream contribution.\n
 \nI will also discuss why sustainable contribution cannot depend only on h
 eroic individuals. Companies\, universities\, OSPOs\, policy makers\, foun
 dations\, and local communities all have roles to play in building partici
 pation infrastructure. Through Japan’s experience\, I hope to explore ho
 w Asian communities can learn from each other and build stronger bridges t
 o global open source.
