Description
Over the past year, GNOME Nepal has become a driving force in Nepal’s open-source movement, growing from a small group of contributors to a thriving community of over 300 members. Through community projects, webinars, and hackathons, we have empowered local contributors and introduced over 1,000 attendees to GNOME and open-source technologies through direct instruction sessions.
Today, GNOME Nepal is recognized as the face of open source in Nepal on the global stage. From mentoring newcomers through hands-on projects to successfully bidding for UbuCon Asia 2025, our initiatives are shaping Nepal’s open-source future. This talk will share our journey, challenges, and strategies for building a strong and sustainable open-source community.
Our impact is evident in the global open-source scene:
GNOME Asia Nepali Speakers: GAS 2023 (1) → GAS 2024 (7)
GNOME GUADEC Nepali Speakers: GUADEC 2023 (0) → GUADEC 2024 (1)
GNOME Foundation Members from Nepal: Before: 0 → Present: 1
