I mean, is anyone playing drums around here?

Because, you know, I am kind of hearing beatings.

I think it's my heart beating so loud and fast - I'm so nervous.

First of all, I would like to thank JSConf EU for this wonderful community.

This is my second time in JSConf EU, and second time in Berlin.

I had a nice time back then, and also hoping to have the same this year too.

I was here last year on a scholarship - again, thanks to JSConf EU.

They're doing an amazing job providing scholarships to diverse culture people from people who

So a round of applause, maybe, for the JSConf EU team!

This is going to be my first ever talk at an international conference, and also my first-ever

I'm used to give in the Nepali language, so this will be my first-ever talk.

You might hear some broken English, and - so bear with me.

Another disclaimer: the challenges of overcoming techniques that I'm going to mention here

in this talk are based on my total, I mean, based on my personal experience, and it's

subjected to change according to the country, according to the organiser.

Yes, before starting today, I would like to have a few questions with the guys.

You can raise your hands if you agree with it.

And you don't have to do anything if you don't.

Have you ever started a tech community before?

Has anyone here currently leading a community?

You don't have to - you don't have to be the founder, but you're currently leading the

By "believe", I mean how many think a community can help you grow?

It can help you be more productive, and even help.

In fact, what I am today, where I am today is all because of the community.

I've come all the way from Nepal, just finished my bachelor's degree in computer science.

Actually, waiting for the result of my last semester, so fingers crossed.

I'm working as a full-time coder in my own company called Technology.

I saw my - I spend my time developing mobile apps using React Native, mobile apps development

for four years now, just after joining the campus.

When I was in school, maybe grade 8 or 9, my dad bought a computer, and I was so into

At that time, I used to play a lot of football - I mean, you understand football, right?

After that, I got the computer in my home, and in school, they used to teach us QBASIC,

and one of my elder brothers introduced me with in tool, and I just got into programming

I used to get so fascinated by community back then as well.

I used to create and joined the Facebook groups for programming.

I created one called Programmers, something like that.

Also, I used to join different chat rooms?

These are a few of the communities that I'm currently involved in, and also I was involved

Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, and it's a small JavaScript community, actually a meet-up

I'm currently leading in community so I will talk about this in more detail in a moment.

Next up, it's Web Conference in Kathmandu.

Have you ever heard of Web Kathmandu, anybody?

I also talk about this in more detail in a moment.

It's another is community of volunteers who want to contribute in open source, and also

in the open way who wants to contribute in open source, in a modular project.

We organise various events, and activities like the selection of the browsers, privacy

campaigns, and work - I'm a ... another talk at ambassador programme is local campus ambassador

As I said earlier, it's a community of JS developers in Kathmandu where we gather together,

share things around JavaScript, just we talk, and it started two years ago as a Facebook

So, we are currently six people managing the community, six co-contributors.

Until now, we have managed to organise around 13 event, and in our Facebook group, there

are around 1,500 members, so I'm not into all these numbers at all, but I wanted to

have it in the slide so I could talk about it.

So the last meet-up that we did was on 25 May.

We do a regular meet-up of different formats, like sometimes formal, sometimes informal,

This is the photo from the last week of KMTJS.

There were 65 people, I guess, with four speakers.

It was about testing, and security in JavaScript.

So let me talk about where - let me talk about the conference in Kathmandu, the conference
