"A couple of weeks back I asked a friend, Song Kewei at the OSS Promotion Union, to tell me who he thought were the top 10 open source professionals in China.

I essentially wrote to each person and asked some basic questions, like when did they first get into Linux, what was their first distribution, what projects do they contribute to, which sites do they troll, and if they belong to user groups.
"The answers weren't what I expected, at least not considering how critical I am of open source professionals in China..."
