About Me

Hello, I am Hoehyeong Jung, an l10n team admin of Ubuntu Korean LoCo(2023.05.~).

I first used Ubuntu in 2010 as Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and started to participate in Ubuntu Korean LoCo forum and offline meetings. I was only 14 years old then so finding tips & tricks about Ubuntu in my native language helped a lot steppig into Ubuntu ecosystem. Participating in UbuCon Asia 2022 as a participant made me interested about being an organizer.

As an l10n team organizer, I want to motivate more people to be intrerested in Ubuntu by providing optimal user experience for Korean natives.

I studied for Computer Engineering in Chonnam National University (2015.03 ~ 2022.08) and working as DevOps engineer in Seoul.

Hoehyeong has been contributing to Ubuntu Korean translation for about 5 years. Start contributing to translation isn't difficult but it's difficult to continue and sustain contribution as it's something that can get board easily. But he's been sustaining his contribution actively by now. And today, As one of Korean l10n team admin, he's not only managing the translation quaility well but also good at on-boarding new comers to contribute on translation. I'm looking forward to see what he'll gonna do as on of Korean l10n team admin and also as one of Ubuntu Member -- ybhan 2023-06-29 09:30:40

I first met him at Ubuntu Korean L10n Translation Workshop in May 2023. It was his face-to-face contribution after being a organizer of Korean LoCo, L10n Team Admin in 2023. At there, I felt his high enthusiasm about Ubuntu ecosystem at a glance, from guiding workshop beginners how to use Launchpad, do translations and trouble-shoot chores. As ybhan said, continuing contribution for Korean translation about Ubuntu is a very hard activity in Korea, I think. He is fully deserved to get board for his effort to sustaining Ubuntu localization in Korean. It'll encourage him to continue contribution to Ubuntu ecosystem with other translation contributors in Korea. -- mscho7969 2023-06-29 13:15:21

I remember Hoe-hyeong Jung was a middle school student in the first time when I was a leader of Ubuntu Korea community. He had interested and widened his Ubuntu contribution step by step, currently he became one of organizer of Korea community. To keep maintaining and developing local community, I think one of the most needed resource is gathering people(organizer) who are keep intersted about Ubuntu and open source community. -- jang0913 2023-07-19 11:15:22
