COSCUP Update Report 2023/04/27¶
It's time to update you on the progress of COSCUP again. After this week, there will be only about three months left until COSCUP 2023.
The Program Team¶
The upcoming event with a deadline approaching soon: HKOSCon 2023 - COSCUP Special Track (due 4/29), OSC Nagoya - COSCUP Special Track (due 4/30).
Ongoing activities include: Call for papers (due 5/22) and Community Booths (due 6/2).
The Sponsorship Team¶
Sponsorship is an essential factor for the success of COSCUP, and we appreciate both individual and corporate sponsorships. If you would like to propose sponsorship of COSCUP to your company, please contact the main coordinator to convey the sponsorship proposal. If your company sponsors COSCUP through a corporate plan, you can bring your work ID or business card during the event and exchange it for a highly acclaimed COSCUP Nitro Cold Brew Coffee at the volunteer service desk (only once a year, don't miss it!).
The Booth Team¶
In mid-April, the booth team returned from Singapore after participating in the FOSSASIA event. They exchanged ideas with friends from Singapore, Malaysia, India, Europe, UK, Australia, Korea, Japan, and China at the booth, sharing how COSCUP promotes the spirit of open source in Taiwan. They also invited them to come to Taiwan to travel and attend this year's event! (Detailed event records can be found by searching #fossasia #coscup on Twitter)
The booth team also thanks the COSCUP colleagues who work in Singapore for their support, especially Ly and Wenqixiang (maybe we can appoint them as the COSCUP Singapore branch!)
We are planning to promote COSCUP in OSC2023 Nagoya on 5/28 and then drive along the Tokaido to Shizuoka, Kawaguchiko, Kamakura, Zushi, Yokohama, and finally arrive in Tokyo (possibly on 6/1). We also want to meet up with our colleagues who work in Japan for a meal and a chat. If you or your friends work in Japan, please feel free to pass on this invitation. If you have any questions or would like to have a meal and chat with our booth team, please reply to our dedicated email address: booth@coscup.org.
OSCVPass¶
Have you heard of the "Open Source Contributor VIP Pass" (OSCVPass)? It is initiated by the Open Culture Foundation (OCF) to provide a fast pass for open source contributors to attend various conferences in Taiwan. If you are familiar with this program, please remember to submit or update your proof of contribution for this year. If you are from other conferences and interested in joining this program, feel free to contact the Open Culture Foundation for feedback!
Volunteers¶
COSCUP is organized by a group of volunteers who work tirelessly before the event to prepare and set up the conference stage for the two-day annual event. If you have attended the conference and are curious about how the COSCUP volunteers prepare for the event, you are welcome to join our volunteer team.
Currently, the Streaming, Documentation, Field teams still need your enthusiastic participation. Join us now!
