The OpenChain site carries the sad news of the
passing of Satoru Ueda. Your editor first met Ueda San at the 2007 Linux Foundation Japan Symposium, where a
small group of dedicated developers and managers was working hard to bring
open-source development practices to the country. Ueda San was always a
strong advocate for this cause and deserves much credit for the success of
Linux and open source in Japan. He was also always a warm and welcoming
person; he will be much missed.
