Hello, Anton. I am a Japanese who became one of the commiters in apache-world recently, as well as you.
I am not a developer in Avalon area, but I want to express my feelings "Congratulations". I learned Russian in my college days as a second foreign language, at the University of Tokyo. I'm very interested in Russia, yet I have not been to. Now I am not in Tokyo, but Hokkaido, the northern part of Japan. (I decided to choose Russian because I was inspired by the famous physicist, Landau, as well as the mathematician, Smirnov) Hope to see you on the various lists in some time. Sincerely, (da svidanya) Tetsuya.
