During my work as a FOSS business matchmaker in Asia for FOSS Bridge and other projects in the
last two years I met many fantastic people doing amazing things with
free and open source software. Yes, there is a vibrant free and open
source community in Asia. I have done a few interviews and talks and
will be publishing more of that step by step. I had a talk at the
Berlin Webmontag a few days ago about business opportunities with free
and open source technologies in Asia. The slides (in German) give some
ideas about this.
