Charles,
Watanabe-san was kind enough to do his own translation. But I will
provide my translation based on his original Japanese post, as some
parts of his traslation may be inaccurate. -Kohei

Kohei's translation ---------------------------------------
I see.
Despite the language barrier, I believe it would be helpful if we could
share the information from conferences held worldwide. What do you
think of this idea?

Kohei's translation ---------------------------------------
I see.
Do you have any pictures from that event on-line? I would live to see
it if you do.

Kohei's translation ---------------------------------------
Well, I personally don't know of any [migration] data available.
But, FYI the Liberal Democratic Party Chairman of the Policy Affairs
Research Council has made a statement to the effect of "it is highly
desirable to have an alternative to Windows and MS Office such as Linux
and OO.o."
Also, we have seen roughly 200 monthly downloads of the OO.o iso image
that our CD-ROM project created, and that's from my own server alone.
So, I'm sure people are starting to pay attention.
