And a warm welcome and best wishes to Iwasaki-san! Great success to Mola Mola!

Hi Jeff, I am so glad to receive your message. 12 years of huge growth of Japan OSGeo community makes me that it is the time to support younger generation as an individual contributor. Iwasaki-san has strong leadership and has been one of the most active contributors to Japan community. I will continue to be a part of OSGeo community with passion. Jeff, we miss you very much and wish to have fun talk with you in the future.

I have been meaning to write here to thank you for 12 years as President of the OSGeo-JP chapter. I noticed your message a few weeks ago to the OSGeo-JP community and it really moved me. What words can I say. I can see your smile. It is that smile and focus that has helped build a fun and vibrant community, and you have indeed helped grow it into one of the largest and most successful OSGeo chapters in the world. (so amazing to see your original 2006 event website ha! http://www.seminar.jp/osgeo/ ) But of course one of my favorite memories is still captured on the "About" page of the chapter website, the mola-mola group picture ha: https://www.osgeo.jp/about I am of course very happy to learn that Iwasaki-san[1] has become the new President of the OSGeo-JP chapter, and I know that he will do an amazing job as well. (others should read his Welcome from the New President[2] I can go on (we have so many stories and laughs: me so confused and lost at Narita airport the first time ha....so many laughs) My heartfelt thank you for all of your passion and time that you have given to OSGeo. And I know you are not going anywhere, we can't lose this passion, there is no on/off switch ha. It is great to talk here with you again! :) Have a great event there and please share a kampai together with Mayumi for me - I hope to share a laugh with you all soon. I bow my head to you as an utmost sign of respect.

Even the 'white noise' of the chatting and networking happening between sessions, caught perfectly through the youtube stream and sent across the world to my little fishing village, calms me and makes me smile.
