Hong Dang is a founder and open-source technology leader with 14 years’ experience building and scaling production systems across software, hardware, and AI from a base in Germany. He founded FOSSASIA in 2009, growing it into one of Asia’s largest open-source communities, chairing its annual summit and mentoring 1,000+ young developers into contributions each year. Hong combines hands-on front-end work (notably improving FOSSASIA summit and site UX) with strategic roles in developer productivity, inner source and SRE tooling at Zalando and advisory work for enterprise clients like Daimler, Google and UNESCO. He serves on multiple open-source governance boards (OSI, IEEE SA OPEN, OSB Alliance) and advises companies on open-source strategy and community building. Equally comfortable designing solar-powered hotels in the Mekong Delta and bootstrapping open-hardware projects like PSlab.io, he brings entrepreneurial pragmatism to technical and community-led initiatives.
