An APAC version of EmacsConf?

[Yuchen Pei]

Hello,

I noticed that the time and schedule of previous EmacsConf, like 
many other free software conferences, worked well for AMER and 
EMEA regions but not the APAC region. Presumably this will remain 
the same this year.

I am starting a free software group in the hope of growing the 
movement in Australia and more generally the APAC region, also to 
overcome the curse of timezones. I think it would be great if 
there were versions of free software conferences for people in the 
APAC region, and I'm interested in (co-)organising them, and in 
this case specifically an APAC version of EmacsConf. I am 
relatively new to emacs (about 1 year in use), but I suspect one 
does not need to be good at emacs to organise a conference about 
it.

Is anyone else interested, or do you know anyone who might be 
interested? As a side note, to avoid unpleasant side effects like 
increasing the workload of EmacsConf organisers :P, the APAC 
version should probably be as independent of EmacsConf as 
possible, including the naming.

Best,
Yuchen
