My career
Encounter with jus I helped at the UNIX Fair when I was a student. (1989)
I moved to Tokyo due to employment. At the same time, I joined the steering committee of jus. (1992) I managed study meetings and other activities along with senior members.
Open Source Matsuri (1999-2001) "Matsuri" means "festival" in Japanese. The first exhibition that brought together the open source community in Japan.
I was the a moderator and manager of stage. Ignited by this, I took charge of management and chairman in many events.

I have served as the moderator for more than 700 speakers so far.
Reason of the award (from my introduction) Mr. Hiroyuki Hourin is very famous coordinator and moderator on promotion of Unix/Linux in so many symposiums. Success of the Lightweight Language Conference events that counts 10 years is one of archivement that owes to his coordination and activities.

The management style is various. scale, open/closed, charge/no charge, relation with business, etc... Common feature: "do independently" planning, hall reservation, publicity, management, etc...
Background High-speed Internet Portable devices Social media Japanese are still hard-workers (?)
More important things: "Open Source Mind" About 15 years have passed since the concept of open source got across to Japan. The idea was input and spread to IT engineers. - anyone can participate in the development - information disclosure is good
Personal thought
We can contribute to OSS without writing source code.
Contributions other than development are also important. I want you to practice the kind of contribution you can do. But, please do not forget respect for our engineers. Because, if there were no developers, OSS would not progress.
Let your activities be known by others
It is important that they are YOUR own activities. Your worth would not increase by only retweeting or sharing information.
Spreading information actively Although I had worked for more than 20 years, I was awarded at last this year. Last year, I had the opportunity to let more people know about my activities by spreading related information. I think it was good in order to be prised.
Just keep on moving Especially in the fields that most people find difficult
What OSS developers are poor at Coordination, Negotiation, Decision-making, Management of community and events, and long-term actions
Consider the advancement of the project before your own role, and take the required action. And continue for a long time. (about 20 years maybe :-) ) Probably in this regard, I have used much more time than anybody.
The man who has contributed to OSS ... ... by lip service ? :-)
The man who has contributed to OSS ... ... by ACTIONS !! (^_^)v
But, if no one would participate, I could not have continued.
Events and community gatherings can take place thanks to the people who gather there. I would like to thank all the people involved in my activities.
I got the award. But my work is not over.
