Dear all,
I'm Japanese Language Manager.
We launched another Japanese community named Haiku Japan this summer with Jorge
to intend to provide more active feedback to the Haiku community than
the other Japanese ones.
This is still very small, and he plays an important part in it.
In fact, we greatly progressed the Japanese translations with him this year.
So, is there the possibility that he continues his activities in our
Japanese community like
preparing for Open Source Conference and so on?
And would you keep him in the haiku-i18n-jp ML?
Anyway, we will follow the decision made here.
Yours,
Satoshi Eguchi (log-1)
