世界各地的许多人正在通过互联网进一步开发自由/自由/开放源码软件（FLOSS）。他们为什么要参与开发者社区并继续开发FLOSS？他们的治疗是否足以维持他们的活动？调查，使用在线问卷，进行回答这些问题，分析社会学的FLOSS运动。然而，这些调查往往侧重于西方的开发商。我们决定看看在FLOSS的发展中是否存在区域差异。为此，我们进行了两项调查，即日语的FLOSS-JP调查和其他亚洲语言的FLOSS-ASIA调查。在本文中，我们描述了区域差异，特别是在亚洲和日本的FLOSS开发商和比较结果从西方FLOSS调查。FLOSS-JP/ASIA的详细报告可在我们的网站上获得（MRI，2004）
A variety of individuals around the world are furthering development of Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) through the Internet. Why do they participate in developers’ communities and continue to develop FLOSS? Is their treatment enough to sustain their activities? Surveys, using online questionnaires, were conducted to answer these questions to analyze the FLOSS movement sociologically. However these surveys tend to focus on developers in the West. We decided to see if there are regional differences in FLOSS development. To that end, we conducted two surveys, the FLOSS–JP survey in Japanese and the FLOSS–ASIA survey in other Asian languages. In this paper, we describe regional differences, especially among Asian and Japanese FLOSS developers and compare the results to those from Western FLOSS surveys. Detailed reports of FLOSS–JP/ASIA are available at our Web site (MRI, 2004)
