Re: [Foundation-l] About the catastrophy in Japan

Thank you Juliana and Casey, I am safe. My family too. I'd love to appreciate all supports, concerns and courage expressed both publicly and privately from Wikimedians in all corners. All members of Wikimedians in Kansai are safe. I had contact with each of them. We are in a remote area from the epicenter, so not affected. Things however look really a mess and sorry to hear. I hope best in all in suffered areas, particularly in Tohoku region. As Casey said, all of confirmed info on individual Wikimedians in Japan are fine at this moment including Takashi Ota, Miya, Aokomoriuta, Kzhr and Carkuni. We have not heard from some active Wikimedians recently, but since troubles in public services including communications, electricity and public transportation are reported, it is understandable. I heard some personal troubles from the people in suffered areas and hoe them all the best. In general I think our curiosity need patience for a while: from my own experience in Kobe Great Earthquake it takes days to grasp the whole ongoing incidents. Thank you for your wishes and prayer, Japanese Wikimedians are so active to write on the quake and upload some photos to Commons. We need more time to handle things, but I hope we all are so fine that provide good reports on the quake.
