The Japan Chapter of the OSGEO held its first seminar at the Tokyo Convention Center. I have heard
that more than 170 people attended, which is a tremendous turnout. Kazunori Noda, well-known in the geospatial community in Japan was MC. Toru Mori, Founder, President and CEO of Orkney presented an overview of the development of the OSGEO. Myself and Professor Venkatesh Raghavan of Osaka City University were invited to give keynotes. In addition there something
like 14 main stage presentations on MapServer, MapGuide, GRASS, and other open source projects.
