The Wine Project is happy to report that somebody in China
recently started contributing a steady flow of very useful
bug fixes.  (I guess that makes him a one-in-a-billion kinda guy!)

Also, gcc has a few great Asian contributors,
in particular, the maintainer for the sh-4 embedded processors.

Their English is quite good, which seems to support the "language barrier"
theory of why there have been few Asian contributions to date.
