We definitely appreciate your efforts :)<br>
<br>
OpenStack has many user groups all over the world [1], but as far as I am aware there are none in Nepal. So, you are very welcome to start one!<br>
<br>
We have started a page with a number of resources to help starting a new user group [2], but probably the biggest piece of advice is to find some like-minded people to help. Normally looking for people at the existing Linux community (since it has Open Source philosophy) and Python group (OpenStack is written in Python) is a good place to start.<br>
<br>
Stefano and myself are the Community Managers working for the OpenStack foundation, and we're here to help. You should consider joining the mailing list for these community group discussions[3] and announce your intentions there and on the general mailing list[4].<br>
<br>
OpenStack has the mission of being ubiquitous, so of course a strong community in Nepal is important! Let us know how we can help you further.<br>
<br>
In terms of other fields of contributions, you have many options. If you are interested writing software in Python there's a lot you can do[5], or if you don't feel like coding there are also many areas [6]. So it depends on your interest ...<br>
<br>

Hi Tom,<br>
<br>
Thanks for recognizing my work.<br>
<br>
I have been translating for now and except for some difficulties i have<br>
been going quite smoothly. I am not much of a localizer that is I have<br>
difficulties in translating too. Plus I am a student so cant contribute<br>
full time. Would it be possible for me to open a community here in Nepal<br>
and bring more contributors ?<br>
<br>
Plus I would also like to know about other field of contributions<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>

Hi Surit,<br>
<br>
Welcome! It's great to have you :)<br>
<br>
I see that your language request has been approved and you have<br>
already translated most of the Dashboard!<br>
<br>
How can we help you more on your OpenStack journey? :)<br>
<br>
