openSUSE.Asia Summit 2027: Call for Host

The openSUSE.Asia Summit is an annual conference that brings together openSUSE contributors, users, and Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) enthusiasts from across Asia. It provides a unique opportunity for the community to meet in person, exchange ideas, share technical knowledge, and strengthen collaboration.

As the openSUSE.Asia Summit 2026 will be held in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, the openSUSE.Asia Organization Committee is now inviting local openSUSE communities to submit proposals to host the 2027 summit.

Hosting the summit is a rewarding opportunity to showcase your local community, promote open source technologies, and connect with contributors from across Asia. The organizing committee will work closely with the selected team, providing guidance and sharing experiences from previous events throughout the planning process.

Rain's been coming down for a while now, this could've cancelled some if not many outdoor activities. But for the people of Kyoto (and Japan in general) nothing stops them. Place still opens and closes on time as it always does. I will stand by it to the end of my days, I envy the cultural dedication the Japanese have and insist we as Americans could adopt those ethics for our own culture to be even better.
Thank the heavens for google lens cause the memories are continuing to slip I had no idea where I took this. It said this is the Shiramine shrine in Kyoto, the name is familiar and after double checking on maps, I'm pretty sure it's correct. On the second day in Kyoto it was overcast and raining the entire afternoon. Shiramine was one of the closer shrines I could afford to walk to. My goal was to get under an overhang to get some glistening reflections on surfaces after the rain. And to fuel this, I already tried it at Meiji Jingu and there was too many people so I was determined to try to find a less known one and in Kyoto's labyrinth there were a plethora of other choices.
I'm not lying when I say there were no people in frame at all so I guess it really was a good decision to come in the rain, the grounds were nearly empty. I couldn't bring out my tripod because it ain't that resistant to water so I was left with a bit of a lopsided frame. In editing I had to fix that and make sure every piece aligned as it was supposed to. This is what I imagine Yasaka looks like during the day when the lanterns aren't on, the roof's reflective textures from the weather also came out looking better then i expected them to.
