We are making progress. I see the guys in China have been busy lately with respect to OpenSolaris in universities: http://blogs.sun.com/joeyguo. Joey has lots of pics and info about what's going on. Glenn and Teresa were there recently, too. When I move to Japan, I hope to get closely involved with community building at universities throughout Asia.
