I think the need of the local friends is not merely receiving the help from others, but be the technical savy fisher of other as well.
1. How can Mission/Christian Open Source development involve/engage more Chinese churches and/or churches of non-European languages speakers and users?

2. How can we connect and elicit the needs of the communities with their technical limitation and have language/ethos/ideological barriers? What technical prerequisite before Christian church can communicate the good news? Is the technology and sharing economy ideology part of the good news? Should holistic gospel include empowerment of technology? How can we ensure that Christian developed technology in open source context not to serve evil but God?
3. How can we ensure open source projects create value and impact with sustainability?
4. If the focus of the engagement is non-West or glocal, how should we decide for the venue, timing and ways of involvement ... I would like to see the materials of the Christian Opne Source conference being broadcast via the web and archive ... even better a dream of MOOC -- Massive Open Source Conference/Course for the Kingdom
5. What would be the identity and languages of a GLocal Christian technical community look-like? Should we go or ask them to come? Shall we learn the languages of other or ask them to learn ours? Should we invite them to be us, be assimilated as one of them or keep the mystical diversity in Unity. Besides technology and academic knowledge, what should be the Biblical/theological and missiological bases for decision making?
You are invited to answer and/or participate in the discussion of the above questions. Hopefully, I can spend time to share my thought about the above questions in more detail with input from others in the near future.
