Global and Regional Ope...
summary
Panelists argue Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing open source region and cite GitHub figures: India 2.5M new GitHub users (2022) and China 1.2M, while Europe emphasizes digital sovereignty and strong grassroots passion. Key problems are language, visas, funding, and a cultural code-over-community upstream-first contribution problem that breaks long‑term maintainability. Recommended responses are OSPO strategies combining top‑down and bottom‑up engagement, building explicit processes for data and model openness, tooling and training, and collaboration platforms like GIM meetups and GenAI Commons model‑openness work.
