Common feature: "do independently"

Background

High-speed InternetPortable devices

Social mediaJapanese are still hard-workers (?)

More important things: "Open Source Mind"

About 15 years have passedsince the concept of open source

got across to Japan.

The idea was input and spread to IT engineers.

- anyone can participate in the development - information disclosure is good

Personal

thought

We can contribute to

OSS without writing

source code.

Contributions other than development are also important.

I want you to practice the kind of contribution you can do.

But, please do not forgetrespect for our engineers.

Because, if there were no developers, OSS would not progress.

Let your activities

be known by others

It is important that they areYOUR own activities.

Your worth would not increase by only retweeting

or sharing information.

Spreading informationactively

Although I had worked for more than20 years, I was awarded at last this year.

Last year, I had the opportunity to letmore people know about my activities

by spreading related information.

I think it was good in order to be prised.

Just keep on moving

Especially in the fieldsthat most people

find difficult

What OSS developersare poor at

Coordination, Negotiation, Decision-making, Management of

community and events,

and long-term actions

Consider the advancement of the project before your own role,and take the required action.

And continue for a long time.(about 20 years maybe :-) )

Probably in this regard,I have used much more time

than anybody.

The man who has contributed to OSS ...

... by lip service ? :-)

The man who has contributed to OSS ...

... by ACTIONS !! (^_^)v

But, if no one would participate,I could not have continued.

Events and community gatherings can take place thanks to the people

who gather there.

I would like to thank all the peopleinvolved in my activities.

I got the award.
