hi Boris,
thanks for pushing this forward. While silent on this list, I searched and found representatives from the Asia/Pacific community too. Yoyo Chiang from ITRI in Taiwan and Masanori Itoh from NTT-Data in Japan have interesting stories to share and they may want to give an update on stories from APAC/APEC area.
I think we should use the occasion to hear stories and opinions from various parts of the world. Is Lance based in Europe?
