I met the director (Mr. Tani) on Oct 11th. I think that the focus of
the TV program is not so good (right now). His focus is just for the
business. I somewhat strongly believe that the activity is more than
the business, more than the earning the money for living. It's the
cooperation beyond the organization, and the one beyond the business.

Yup. I hope that Mr. Tani will figure out the reality of Free Software,
as the TV program last year.

See? His focus is quite bad. SourceXchange? Who cares? We should
let him know "Debian", don't we? IMO, we should not answer such bogus
question, instead, it is good to explain our activities.
Thanks,
