Shinji Enoki: Recently joined Wikimedians of Japan User Group, which is very small, so scope of tasks is very broad. Wants to do GLAM activities in Japan too, but they are still considering this idea. Involved in over a dozen open source and open data communities, but LibreOffice is primary project.
