My vision for Ubuntu

I want to work for making Ubuntu major OS in Japan. For that purpose, I'll continue Japanese Team activity, commit for Ubuntu to make better support for Japanese and other multibyte language(see ["BetterCJKSupportSpecification"] and ["DerivativeTeam/Derivatives/Japanese"]), and write Ubuntu related web and magazine articles for Japanese users.
