The Open Infrastructure Summit Denver in 2019 was my favorite memory. It was my first time to attend a Summit. Before that, I was just one of the local community members and the vice-leader of the Korea User group, but during the Summit, I felt a sense of belonging to the global community.

I am an organizer of OpenStack Korea User Group. As an organizer, I organize study groups and local seminars.
Also after I attended a Project Teams Gathering (PTG), where I attended meetings with IRC and became interested in upstream development.”
