Our communication with international conferences has been interrupted for over 3 years due to the requirements of China's epidemic prevention policy. We urgently need an offline gathering to unite the open-source power of Chinese companies. **We want to enable companies that rely on open source to share, learn, and summarize their experiences so that all parties can benefit, and especially practitioners can succeed.**

**Our summit is scheduled to be held in Beijing on December 16**, and through a vote of the preparatory team, we have chosen **Localization and Globalization** as the theme.

`Time: December 16, 2022`
`Location: Beijing, China`
`Theme: Localization and Globalization`
`China is special, whereas open source is global. We must perceive rationally, both to understand and implement according to the local situation, but also to integrate and influence the world.`

The summit will focus on **the successful practices of Upstream First** and **the work of OSPO**. The OSPO leaders from various enterprises such as HUAWEI, ByteDance, Ant Group, etc. will bring the above topics and we will also invite international experts such as Dr. Ibrahim Haddad and representatives of various open source foundations to give us international leading points. TODO Group manager Ana will share how to build OSPO in the enterprise. 

In addition to the sessions, we will also have many open discussion sections where attendees can choose from the following discussion groups based on their working background and requirements.
- **Engineering**: Upstream First, cost reduction and efficiency, from 996 to 711, DevSecOps
- **Management/Culture**: Enterprise Architecture Research, Open Source Culture, Enterprise, and Open Source Community, HR, OKR & KPI
- **Compliance and Assets**: License, Supply Chain, SBOM, Accounting Assessment
- **Climbing the ladder**: jump-start development, project community building, collaboration between enterprises to drive participants, becoming a leader in the open source world

We will do our best to ensure the high quality of this summit, avoid all kinds of advertising and strictly select the speeches.
