Hi ...

Yes, I was there with some of our Java and OpenSolaris guys here from 
Sun. I didn't have time to attend too many sessions, though, and my 
Japanese is, ah, rather weak right now. :) But we had some good sessions 
and we started a new OpenSolaris User Group, too. And I met a lot of 
interesting people. In general, I'm interested in finding out about all 
the FOSS events in Japan. I can't attend them all, of course, but 
everything's new to me so I need to find out what's out there.
