Open Source Conference Tokyo/Fall

Last weekend, Ubuntu Japanese LoCo attend at "Open Source Conference Tokyo/Fall". We participate as exhibitor and speaker.

The Open Source Conference(OSC) is greatest open source event of Japan, exhibitors are a lot of communities, and powerful companies(Dell, HP, AMD, Hitachi, Microsoft!, Cytrix and more and more sponsors). That is happy marriage of volunteers and business workers.
