openSUSE.Asia Summit 2014



openSUSE.Asia Summit 2014 is the first openSUSE Summit in Asia, which aims to promote openSUSE and other free and open source software in the region (especially in colleges).

I am very pleasure to be one of the organize team members.

I want to mention Sunny's mail and thanks her and all staff again

---------From Sunny----------------------------------------
I would take this opportunity to thank the openSUSE.Asia Summit
organization team. Today, now the openSUSE.Asia summit has started,
I'm reminded of the journey we took to get here.

I can not forget our weekly meetings, which often lasted to midnight.
I can't forget 137 cards in trello for the preparation tracking.
And I can't forget hundredss of emails about the Summit in our mail
boxes.

When we were on the way to reach this summit, we encouraged and
supported each other. Even though we were tired, we never gave up,
because we did believe we would finally be here. It is my honor being
a member of such a great team!

There are 17 people in the organization team, I won't list everyone's
name because we are a team, and we couldn't have make any success
without each of us.
