Here's my two cents:
There are several ways to go. Get someone interesting for:
- the Asia region
- Free culture or technology
- Community, Internet culture
- GLAM and public knowledge
Good points.
I recommend Makoto Okamoto. After Eastern Japan Earthquake happend on March 11, 2011, he started the activity to save museums, libraries, archives and kominkan (community centers) from the damage of the quake. He deserves 1 and 4 of criteria above (and some of 2 and 3, I suppose). Although he is not a famous person outside Japan, I believe he can share how to connect communities to change the society.
