I'm sure others go to Japan periodically. I've heard that Pier will come to Japan in October. (I could not catch up with him @ the last travel of his, in July, though) Please feel free to ping me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list :) >> all > I rarely, if ever, see any ASF members any more.

Now, I can completely understand why ApacheCon is very important for not only the members but also for the committers. Probably, this event would be more important for the current (and upcoming) committers. I am now absolutely in favour (from my sincere heart) of the success of the ApacheCON. Unfortunately, I will not be able to participate in that wonderful event, however, please let me know if there would be still rooms of the contribution to the success of that event. > And, why we need to have European AC's too. -- justin Make sense. Quite make sense. One day, the Asian AC (Beijing or Seoul would be better than Tokyo) will be held , too. I do hope. -- As far as I can see from http://www.apache.org/~sgala/map.html (Apache Community Worldwide: thanx to Santiago and Dirk), there are few committers in Asia, Pacific, South America and Africa. Of course, there could be some of the "ratio of the well-educated population" issues, etc. I can guess, however, "North America and Europe" (heavily) weighed community would be not so much healthy. I am sure that "establish a trust relationship" would be one of the "KEYS" of the internationalization in the ASF community. I am awaiting any suggestions, constructive opinions for the internationalization of the ASF and about how to "establish a trust relationship", from you all.
