Abstract
Not all members in the FOSS community willing to contribute to the upstream project. Most of them are end-user and enthusiasts, and the rest of them are contributors. Not all contributors are tech-savvy, they also do the non-technical stuff. Based on experiences in the local FOSS community, bring the local contribution to upstream is really challenging. In this session, I will share some activities, both in the openSUSE and LibreOffice community in Indonesia, to build up contribution and engage with the upstream community.

Transcript: English(auto-generated)
Welcome. Yeah. Can you see my screen? Yes. Okay. I will start now. Hello, everyone. Welcome to 2020 Open SUSE and Libro office conference. Let me introduce. I'm Kuppu Shafahat from Indonesia.
I will talk about building upstream contribution on Open SUSE and Libro office community in Indonesia. I will share about activities in the local community that related to upstream. So here is some background in the local community. Number one, people in the community are end user and tech-savvy.
Number two, not all people in the community willing to contribute. Number three, some people in the community who are willing to contribute, not doing the technical stuff. And number four, some people in the community that have technical background contribute to non-technical stuff.
Continue. Number five, some people involved in more than one local and upstream community. Number six, some people involved in more than one open source project. Number seven, people in the community. Easy come, easy go. And the last number eight, starting a contribution is easy, but the continuous contribution is hard.
So let's start with the Open SUSE in Indonesia. Open SUSE Indonesia community, aka Open SUSE ID established in 27. The one and only Open SUSE community in Indonesia, because they are the Linux distribution community in Indonesia,
may have more than one local community. Here is Open SUSE ID numbers. We have 13 Open SUSE members. We have huge people in some channels, but not all of them are active.
Here, local contribution to upstream in Open SUSE ID. Mirror, election committee, heroes, LNN, artwork, and conference. Mirror, Open SUSE ID maintaining LIP and Tumblebit mirror. LIP mirror serve South Asia region, mostly Indonesia. Tumblebit mirror serve South Asia region, such as Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia.
There are three other Open SUSE mirror in Indonesia. Two maintained by university, Kajal Mada University and TELCOB. One maintained by community, by class, or sort of by a class, sort of by a Linux user group, sorry.
Here is statistic about Open SUSE ID LIP mirror. 4.7 million total requests. And here is for Open SUSE ID Tumblebit mirror. 2.9 million total requests. And the next one is election committee.
Election committee on Open SUSE board election. Purchase of three people. Edwin Zakaria, hour long time member and mentor in the community, was part of them on the last three board election. Thank you, Edwin. Heroes. We have S2 Fardani in Open SUSE heroes that successfully make the data online,
including fixing broken plugins and configure the database, kudos to S2. S2 also had talk yesterday about Potman on Kubernetes cluster. L10n or translation. I get involved in Open SUSE translation.
I translated more than 200,000 strings. I also get involved in other translation, such as genome. And Adwok. Our community also contribute to the Adwok, especially for the logo. For example, logo for this conference.
And the logo for the Open SUSE Asia Summit from 2014 until 2019. Last but not least for the Open SUSE, we organized the biggest Open SUSE event in Asia called Open SUSE Asia Summit twice in 2016 and 2019.
Sadly, this year event is postponed due to pandemic and we do not have a plan to organize the online conference. Okay, let's talk about LibreOffice community in Indonesia. LibreOffice in Indonesia is ambiguous since there is more than one community.
LibreOffice Indonesia Facebook group created in 2011. LibreOffice ID established in 2018. Learn LibreOffice Indonesia or Blazor LibreOffice Indonesia established in 2016. And maybe the others community.
The rest of the talk is focusing on the bold one, LibreOffice ID. This is the LibreOffice ID in Indonesia in numbers. We have 12 TDF members. Again, we have huge people in some channels, but not all of them are active. Speaking about TDF members, Indonesia has about 12 members.
The maps is not updated yet so that we didn't know where they are. Some activities in LibreOffice ID that contribute to Upstream are translation design, QA template, and donate. For the translation, here is the current status of LibreOffice translation in Indonesia.
Most of them are more than 90%. The translation is more than 90% because we had translation hackathon or translaton since two years ago in several cities in Indonesia. In translation, we also have Anika Trivedia.
She is a lifetime translation contributor in Indonesia. She is involved in many open source projects focused on translation. Big thanks for your contribution, Anika. For the design, we have Rizal Mutakin who designed the beautiful icons
named Karasajaga and Sukapura. He is also updating some icons in LibreOffice, such as Lamentary, Colibri, Siffer, and Breeze icons. And then, by Rizal, who designed the beautiful artwork for LibreOffice secondary list,
as you can see on the Upboard dialog. He is also the winner of InScape Upboard screen contest. And for QA, LibreOffice ID has Stanis who contributes in QA. He makes sure that all reports are clarified as bugs or not,
so that these reports help to improve the quality of LibreOffice. And then, LibreOffice ID has Amatrom Martin, aka Rani Amina. He is a LibreOffice multiple contributor from Indonesia.
He helped in translation, QA, design, and organized events. Rani also initiated the LibreOffice Impress template competition for celebrating the 10th anniversary of LibreOffice.
One of the prizes is a LibreOffice 10th anniversary special edition SUS from France Subs factory, as you can see in the picture. And for the template, here are the big six of the template submissions.
Candy template, fresh, yellow idea, global liberty, candy clone, and grey elegant. You can download those templates on the lumbung.libreoffice.id.
Mike posted the report of the competition or contest in the video blog. After publishing the template, we in the community hope that it can be pushed to the upstream so that the template can be used by the people who use LibreOffice.
And the last one, LibreOffice Indonesian community donated to upstream just after LibreOffice 7 release. It's about 292 euros. This donation is an appreciation from Indonesian LibreOffice community
for supporting the worldwide LibreOffice developers who have worked hard to make a powerful office suite called LibreOffice. I think that's all from me. Thank you very much for this session.
Stay safe and take care. Thanks a lot.
