1: Teaching is the best way to learn something.

Teaching = Output • Someone told me "I don't think conference is a good idea to learn something. It would be better to read books and fork OSS" . • But I have a different opinion. • Input is necessary, but it is not enough. • Output is really needed to learn effectively and efﬁciently.

We need to create the opportunity to output developers' knowledge and share each other.

2: Connect to global community

Slide 12

Slide 12 text

To be global • Japanese developers have some opinions but they don't say their opinions (maybe they are shy). • And they don't have connections between standardization groups. • Our conference invited TC39 members / WHATWG members / Browsers developers. • We need to break the barrier and connect each other.

Covid 19 changes our community • No offline events • No drinking party • Stay home • It is hard to connect and collaborate each other • We try to find our best community style. • We used both online chat tool and youtube live in this year. • Maybe in the future, we will use both online and offline.
