Crowdsource Asian open source communities

[divya-mohan0209]

Context

This is a child issue for #4, where we aim to collate & maintain a publicly available database of Asian communities.

Goals

In this issue, we want to capture information about open source communities in Asia. The community can be focused on academia, research, business, technology, or community-building and outreach efforts related to open source, but must necessarily be based in Asia.

Data format

Please leave your details in response to this issue in the format:

• Community Name
• Description
• Website
• Region
• Category

Note 1:

If you are unsure which Asian region the community is part of, please refer to this Wikipedia entry about the United Nations geoscheme for Asia.

Note 2:

If the community is fully virtual with no physical presence, for the region, we would request you enter it as the region where a majority of the organizers are located.

Please note: All details must be provided for inclusion in the database.
