What You Can Do: in Your Open Source Community
Talkat Open Source Summit Japan + AI_dev: Open Source GenAI & ML Summit + Automotive Linux Summit 2025 · 2025-12-08..12-10·
summary
OpenChain Japan runs eight subgroups, 34 all‑member meetings, 200+ mailing‑list subscribers and 100+ organizations, showing community work keeps compliance adoption moving; event management produces community days with 100+ attendees (about half new), promotional flyers and QR codes and a five‑year advent calendar of daily blog posts drive visibility, while metrics (participation, engagement, adoption, partnerships) track impact. Non‑code roles listed include organizers, facilitators, mentors, mediators, content creators and outreach via social media and joint events; adoption in Japan still lags and requires more local, practical topics.
