Currently, I am the lead of the GNOME Asia committee [1]. If I am elected to= be a board member, it enables me to share my opinions and experiences in & f= rom the Asia community with the board directly. I am a Hongkonger who contributes to the open source and GNOME community for= 20+ and 10 years. I grew up between the western and eastern cultures in the= British colony. I embrace democracy and freedom which are the important val= ues in the western. It is thankful that the open source community provides m= any different software tools, and I am always happy to contribute back to th= e community and the society with my experience, mindset, and knowledge in te= chnology. For the GNOME community, I organised the GNOME Asia Summit 2012 in Hong Kong= with our local team. After the summit, I join the GNOME Asia committee in 2= 012 to help the committee to call for hosts every year, and gives advice and= supports to the local teams.

Since 2011, I also trav= el to overseas open source conferences every year and meet with open source c= ommunities in the various cities in Asia, and travel to Bay Area, I built so= me connections with some Asia communities and global open source project com= munities. Currently, I am the President of OSHK and the conference chair of PyCon HK. I= am also a Mozilla Rep and a contributing member of the Python Software Foun= dation. I was a founder and director of HK Creative Open Technology Associat= ion which provides organisational support to our open source community works= locally.
