@ballfish starts her contribution by co-host local Rust community meetup since late 2018. She helps build the community, keep it alive by co-organizing the monthly meetup, managing the Telegram channel, and maintain the friendly discussion environment.
On June, she also becomes the keyholder of Mozilla Community Space Taipei, by getting a dozen vouch from local Mozillians for her involvement in the community. She had also helped to review thousands of sentences on Common Voice.

How did I help them as a Rep
As a Mozilla Rep, I help her on the onboarding of the community space and help her design the Rust event and prepared the materials and stickers for the ModernWeb booth. I try my best to share my experience in event demonstration and hope this can help future Rust promotion on other events.
