I can tell you that DConf Asia is something the Foundation is 
interested in. It's also something I plan to work toward making 
happen eventually. We discussed this at our Seoul meetup 
recently. What I need to know before anything can happen is how 
large the Chinese and Japanese D communities are.

I'm up to my eyeballs in work right now and had no plans to move 
on this until I finish off my current priorities, but if you're 
willing to help on the Chinese front, I'll do what I can to 
support you.

My email address is aldacron at gmail.com, so please feel free to 
contact me about this and we can discuss it.
