About Me

Hello, I'm Minseong Cho. I'm currently a organizer of Ubuntu Korean LoCo(2022.12.~). In 2019, I first used ZORIN OS which is linux distribution based on Ubuntu 16.04, on my old laptop. But at that time migration to new version of ZORIN OS was almost impossible. So I decided to use Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Simultaneously, I got many tips from Ubuntu Korean LoCo like IME for Korean Language, managing APT packages. I started to participate Ubucon Asia 2022 as a Organizer in July, 2022. At that time, I visited Ubuntu Summit 2022 and got fully stimulated about Ubuntu. I'm also a student studying Software Science at Korea National Open University(2022.08.~), and had worked as a DevOps Engineer at Metaflyer(2022.10.~2023.03.).

    • Final Report: Ubuntu Discourse

• Contributing Documentations

  • Multipass

    • I think, Multipass is one of simple way to launch Ubuntu VMs. But, It is not famous or mainstream solution in Korea. Before I introduce this solution to other Koreans, I think Documentation have to be well prepared. When I issued problem, Screenshots in tutorials are broken.

    • Discourse: As the documentation is based on Ubuntu discourse(Ubuntu Community Hub), I made reply in the thread, and tutorial is fixed.

  • Vanilla Framework

    • When I was trying in making my blog with Vanila framework, I was nervous because Document about git-modules something weird. Naturally, I spent lots of time to realize why error showed up. So, I think that notify other users right usages will be save their time. I made tiny, cute PR to the repository.

    • What is merged in v3.11.1: Fix command for git submodule example (#4635) Github

Future Goals

  • I found that I like the moment to meet who also like Ubuntu and talking.
  • In 2023,
    • General Meeting plan is already set up in March.
    • Translation Workshop is also planned in May.
    • If there won't be other urgent things happened to me, I'll participate in the events.
• Blogging Some Aricles about how to start swimming in Ubuntu.

  • Like ibus, GPG Keys & so on, it is little struggling to dive into Ubuntu for Ubuntu korean beginners, I think.

  • As my personal blog is built, so I will post continuously some tutorials based on my experience in Korean.

As one of collegues who worked with UbuCon Asia 2022 together and Korean LoCo organizer, I would say Minseong is one of the most helpful and proactive organizer I've met last few years. It might be easy to bring some ideas for logistics for large scale events, but it's difficult to bring details and taking actions with proper plans. and thanks to Minseong's contribution, we could handle UCA22 logistics much smoother. With his enthusiasm on Ubuntu, he's already contributing on spreading Ubuntu and FOSS as one of Korean LoCo organizer. I'm very looking forward to see what he'll do in near future. -- ybhan 2023-02-21 01:02:39

At the same time, he can be said to be an activist with excellent planning and execution skills, which is the driving force behind the success of UbuCon Asia 2022. Thanks to Minseong's contribution, the process was smoother. He is a Korean LoCo organizer with a passion for Ubuntu. I would like to congratulate him on his achievements and contributions to the community. -- sigmadream 2023-02-23 01:02:39
