Create a database of open source communities in Asia

[divya-mohan0209]

Aim

Create a database, like this one, of open source communities in Asia. This can be expanded to a more global one after collaborating with other regional leads.

The example database mentioned above is made from R and is easy to maintain and collaborate on since it deploys onto GitHub pages. We could use the same template. Alternatively, if you have suggestions for frameworks/tooling that simplify the process, we would be happy to hear them. See the first checklist item below.

Prerequisites

Knowledge of front-end frameworks, web design, and how to host a website on GitHub.

Steps to create the database

• Prototype of the database to be created locally and demonstrated during one of the CHAOSS Asia meetings
• Initial data to be added from existing sources & research
• GitHub repo to be created within the CHAOSS org/externally for hosting the database
• Focus group to be created for maintenance of the database
• Database to be opened for crowdsourcing to the audience
• Showcase to the DEI working group for inviting global collaborators
