Astra Commons: Korea

Astra Commons: Korea Astra Commons: Korea Grab a coffee, meet local builders, and share what you’re working on. ☕️ Join us in Seoul for Astra Commons: Korea, a casual community meetup bringing together developers, students, founders, and community members to celebrate the launch of GPT-6 Astra. Hosted by Junho Kong, your local Codex Ambassador and organizer of Codex Community Korea, this gathering is all about conversation, connection, and exchanging ideas with other people building with Codex. You don’t need a finished project—or anything prepared—to join. Bring something you’re working on, ask about a problem you’re stuck on, or simply come to hear other people’s experiences. What to expect Laptops and projects are welcome, but entirely optional. There are no scheduled talks, formal presentations, or required demos or interviews. Optional student project sharing Winning teams from the recent Codex Community Hackathon – Seoul for Students are also expected to join. At a few designated seats, students will be able to casually show how their projects have developed since the hackathon and discuss what they changed, what didn’t work, and how they used ChatGPT and Codex along the way. Stop by only if you’re curious. There will be no stage presentations, judging, or scheduled demo sessions. The students will also join the wider gathering as regular attendees and enjoy conversations with other community members.
