Gosh, I'm in a hotel in Seoul, Korea, at the moment, and they're saying
a lot of the same things here. :)

I'll write two stories for Linux.com (which is now loading correctly and
getting the minor bugs fixed quickly) about LinuxWorld Korea 2007, which
just ended. One story will be about the show itself and about how the IT
industry's emphasis here is different from the U.S. emphasis. The other
one will be about how software development attitudes here are different
from the U.S.-European style and how this affects Korean (and Chinese
and Japanese) participation in FOSS projects.
