1. In March 2011, a major earthquake and tsunami struck Japan, causing widespread damage and loss of life.
2. OpenStreetMap mappers began contributing data to map the affected areas around Sendai Airport. Satellite photos and aerial imagery were also provided to mapers.
3. An Ushahidi site called Sinsai.info was set up to crowdsource crisis information. It received over 12,000 reports in the first month and had high traffic volumes.
4. Outreach was conducted to the media to raise awareness of OpenStreetMap's and Sinsai.info's crisis mapping efforts. Plans were discussed to expand mapping activities and prepare for future disasters.
Complete defeat of Japanese IT cloud industry forces university students to cope with the situation to a different direction: to be enrolled in an application service provider which uses US clouds such as AWS and Azure. The author argues the reason to have become a loser was that Japanese computer engineers could not persuade their superiors who graduated from authentic electric/electronic departments. They usually look down computer engineers in terms of basic math. and physics ability, but do not know what consistent-hashing technology is, for example. On the other hand, computer engineers in oldest stratum aged around sixty-years old at most, assumingly could not cause their bosses (management) to launch new cloud project …

The document discusses py7zr, a Python library that provides generic compression, decompression, and archiving capabilities for the 7zip format. Py7zr utilizes Python's built-in lzma support for decompression and allows compression and decompression of 7z files without external dependencies. It aims to provide a pure Python implementation of 7zip's compression algorithms with a focus on code quality, testing, and documentation.

This document summarizes the State of OpenStreetMap Japan presentation given by Hiroshi Miura in July 2008. Miura discusses his motivations for starting OSM Japan due to the lack of Japanese language support and members in Japan at the time. He then outlines the goals and challenges of OSM Japan, which include making OSM data good enough for business use in Japan and addressing issues like a lack of Japanese documentation and community.
