1	1	My name is Hong Phuc Dang or ‘hpdang’ in short. I am originally from Vietnam, I currently live in Berlin and travel regularly to Asia (Singapore, Vietnam, India, China). I got into Free and Open Source while I was in university and loved to participate in the community meeting Internationals from all over the world. Inspired by many communities, I founded [[FOSSASIA>>url:https://fossasia.org]] with the goal to bring together a community of contributors across borders and ages to form a better future with Open Source technologies in 2009.

Together with my team at FOSSASIA, I train thousands of young developers each year through our [[offline workshops at universities>>url:https://www.facebook.com/fossasia/]] and online coding contests like [[Codeheat>>url:https://codeheat.org]].

5		-I am a collaborator of [[eventyay>>url:https://eventyay.com]] - an open source event management system, which is still under heavy development and [[SUSI.AI>>url:https://github.com/fossasia?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=susi]], our open source personal assistant framework. I also worked with the Libregraphics and Fashion tech community, where I organized Open Design Weeks and gave talks like at the 31C3 Chaos Computer Congress.
	5	+I organize community events, developer summits, and code-camps throughout the year [[across Asia>>url:https://events.fossasia.org]] such as [[FOSSASIA OpenTechSummit>>url:https://2019.fossasia.org]] in Singapore, an event where open source contributors from around the world get together to share, collaborate, and build a bridge between the East and West. I also run events such as [[OpenTechSummits in China>>url:https://opentechsummit.cn/]], [[Science Hackathons in Vietnam>>url:https://sciencehack.asia/]] and [[Jugaad Fests>>url:https://jugaadfest.com/]] in India. I created and managed online coding programs for education like [[Codeheat>>url:https://codeheat.org]], which introduce more than 1,000 students to open source each year.

7		-Because of my work with development corporations and the UNESCO I was featured in a study of Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development Germany on [[Women’s Pathways to the Digital Sector: Stories of Opportunities and Challenges>>url:https://www.bmz.de/en/publications/type_of_publication/weitere_materialien/study_eSkills4girls.pdf]].
	7	+I support the the development of a number of open source projects, including [[SUSI.AI>>url:https://chat.susi.ai/]], the open source voice assistant framework, [[Pocket Science Lab>>url:https://pslab.io/]], a miniaturized FOSS hardware and software laboratory, and [[Eventyay>>url:https://eventyay.com/]], an open source event solution. I offer advice to companies around open source development models and community engagement. I recently joined [[Zalando SE>>url:https://opensource.zalando.com/docs/reports/2019/january-2019/]]. My job involves bringing open source best practices within the walls of the company and fostering code sharing and collaboration across business units and teams.

9		-Apart from my work with the community I support companies with development services, research and advising them on collaboration strategies with the Free Software and Open Source community. My main clients include postal corporations, leading car manufacturers and startup accelerators.

11		-I love and enjoy what I am doing. I can stay up until 2 - 3 am to discuss with developers from other continents and still be happy.
	11	+I speak Vietnamese, English and Chinese and I am also learning German. I enjoy teaching and sharing Open Source with people from all backgrounds: Young students to working adults and elderly. I visited over 100 hackerspaces around the world. I was lucky enough to speak at conferences like [[35c3>>url:https://youtu.be/NDcwl3n47ak]], [[32c3>>url:https://youtu.be/n0FZdl7LBbk]], [[FOSDEM>>url:https://mirror.librelabucm.org/fosdem/2019/AW1.125/pocket_science_lab.mp4]] etc. My favorite thing to do when I am not working is swimming, traveling and learning languages. I also enjoy setting up wifi networks with friends. I hosted many FOSS contributors in the eco-hotel I founded in my hometown in the Mekong Delta and I am always excited to make new friends in the community and welcome them.
