We're back for Day 2 of #GNOMEAsia2023 with the opening keynote by Hempal Shrestha. He is introducing the past, present, and future of the #OpenSource community in Nepal.

I love how this is starting: a steward of the culture and the movement in #Nepal painting a picture of how the local movement got to where it is today, the successes, and the challenges. There are so many students here. Inspiring the next generation for folks who are coming in and are hungry for more #FOSS.

@niktrip is on stage now at #GNOMEAsia2023 sharing her wisdom and experience with @Krita and why it is one of the best available tools for artists and graphic designers.

I am getting to know Krita much better and I also love the shout-out to the @fedora @creativefreedom #Freetober challenge!

@gnome @nekonya3

Now, @Aryan20 is presenting at #GNOMEAsia2023 about @gnome extensions and the ecosystem. How do extensions fit into the desktop scene?

He builds on his work done as a #GSoC intern and why the flexibility and customization of the desktop grows the success of the #OpenSource ecosystem.

Happening now at #GNOMEAsia2023: @gnome co-founder @federicomena and @zana presenting on the GNOME Code of Conduct, the story behind why it was created, and why the GNOME Project made the decisions they did when implementing it. #DEI

Later on, a shout-out to @downey too, who could not make it here in-person!
