My journey, openSUSE Asia Summit
August one of the best months of 2018 for me, because for the first time I was accepted as a speaker at the 2018 OpenSUSE Asia Summit held in Taiwan, precisely in Taipei, one of the countries that I have never visited.
Before departh
on this departure I departed with several groups from their openSUSE Indonesia: Pak Kukuh, Pak Yan Arief and Pak Didiet. we went to taiwan boarding a China Airlines plane at 14:10 and arrived in Taiwan at 20:40 Taiwan time, and this was my first experience using international aircraft.
this is when we take photos at Taiwan MRT
and after we arrived in Taiwan we bought the MRT card to use the MRT there, after that at around 11:00 p.m. we arrived at the First Hostel, here I was roomed with several people, including Gus Aftian, Pak Darian, Pak Joko, Pak Kukuh and Kakek Yan Arief.
Day 0
on Friday, we all plan to take part in the openSUSE meeting, which is in the Micro Focus SUSE office in Taiwan, and we went there after we prayed Friday at the Taiwan Grand mosque. because we waited for a very long bus, finally we all decided to walk to the SUSE office after Friday prayers, WOW!
After we arrived there, we were placed in a different room because the main room was full
here we are at the SUSE Taiwan office
