[tlug] "Open source: Made in Japan?" blog

[Jesse Casman <jesse@example.com>]

Hey all,

I posted a couple weeks ago on the TLUG list about activities I saw in Japan around open source and small startups.  More energy and action than I expected.  Today, Matt Asay at CNET blogged about some of the same things based on some conversations we've had.  

Question: Am I nuts?  It feels like there are more companies now in Japan with small, smart teams, bootstrapping it but potentially thinking about funding, being built around open source tools, making a go of it.   Would love to get any feedback from TLUGers living and working in Japan through your comments on the blog, replying here, or replying to me directly.  No preference.
