In July 2024, I founded Odoo Community Taiwan. What started as a one-person effort organizing the first event has grown into a vibrant community, with each meetup now regularly attracting 30 to 40 participants. By leveraging the Odoo system, I automated processes such as registration, email communication, and surveys, significantly improving operational efficiency.
As the community expanded, I realized the importance of teamwork and successfully attracted passionate, ambitious young people interested in open source to join and help co-organize the community.
Through data analysis, we adjusted event formats to ignite engagement—for instance, separating sessions for business users and developers, and encouraging talks from our own community members. We later launched book discussion events to deepen connections and plan to expand internationally by participating in open source conferences like COSCUP.
Odoo Community Taiwan has become more than just a platform to learn Odoo—it’s a growing ecosystem that embodies the spirit of open source. (Auto translated)
