The title of this post is, by my (very limited) knowledge of Japanese script, Mancoosi written in Japanese (it is written in the katana script which is used in Japanese for foreign words). This to announce that I have been invited to give a talk about the Mancoosi project at the the Workshop on Software and Verification (WSV 2009) on Friday, April 10, at AIST Kansai in Osaka. I have it from trustworthy source that the second talk of the workshop will be given by Yutaka Niibe, the founder and president of the Free Software Initiative Japan on the responsibilities of Free Software, though from looking at the program I couldn't have told :-) I hope to report soon more here about Free Software in Japan!
