So, this is the first time i attend openSUSE Asia Summit. This year openSUSE Asia Summit 2019 has been held in Udayana University, 5-6 October 2019.

Why i attend this event? I was skeptical when i submit my paper the CFP is open in which i only submit one paper. Will my paper be accepted? The submission is pretty straight forward though, just type events.opensuse.org, register there, complete my profile, choose the event and then i submit my title Deploy Multinode GitLab Runner in openSUSE 15.1 Instances with Ansible Automation. I was planning to submit another title, but i couldn’t find one appropriate until the deadline.

I was verry happy when i receive the acceptance email from the CFP team of the openSUSE Asia Summit 2019 committee. I myself has made a commitment that i wrote in my facebook page something like “I will switch to openSUSE if my paper accepted.” A month before the event i manage to replace my Ubuntu Studio 16.04 with openSUSE Leap 15.1. Yes, long time being an Ubuntu user (since 2013) now switching to openSUSE.

After long journey from Malang to Bali, more than 16 hours, i finally arrive in Bali at 11:00 WITA (Bali time), 4 October 2019. I went to Bali with a group of KLAS, KLiM, and Doscom. We even made a banner for our picnic journey.
