[Desktop_architects] Desktop Meeting in Japan, Jun. 1

One idea :   We could create profile articles on these developers and 
share them with the press to help make their role as contributors highly 
visible to the Asia Pacific community

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.
