I'm new to Steemit. Been here for a week and more. The idea of Steemfest is sensational. I think each region should have it's own fest. I'd love to get connected with other steemians in Australia. I don;t think there's much happening here on the STEEM front. Hopefully in a few months things will change and we will gather momentum. In any case, I think it's time to start some on ground activity here and I will also look into how I can get connected with the few here.
With regards to Steemfest: I hope we can have the next Fest somewhere in Asia. Steem looks very popular in Asia - especially India and Indonesia. Even Korea. It's surely a good idea to have the next Steemfest in India or Japan.
