I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who helped prepare for yesterday's Ubucon Korea 20th anniversary event. It was my first time attending, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to meet the people who gave me the chance to present. I am also thankful to the people who came to my presentation.

On Sunday lunchtime, I had the privilege of enjoying this fantastic view of Seoul.

Had a wonderful time today at our second FediDev KR (@sprints.fedidev.kr) gathering at Turing's Apple (@TuringAppleDev) in !

We spent the day contributing to various open source projects including @fedify, @hollo, and Hackers' Pub. It was fantastic to see the community come together to build and improve tools for the decentralized social web.

Our participants made some great contributions, and you can read all about what we accomplished in today's blog post.

Looking forward to our next sprint!
