Introducing one of sinsai.info reports

The OpenSource Conference 2011 and Hack For Japan were held today and yesterday in Sendai.

Some of sinsai.info members were participating in these events, and verified one of the reports on our site in person.

Today, we would like to introduce this verified report.

On April 10, this report was submitted to our web site.

So...

A member of sinsai.info went to the cafe during the OpenSource Conference 2011 Sendai yesterday and verified the report.

The member reports:

• They originally felt it might be inappropriate to reopen the cafe amidst of this disaster.
• However, someone left a note on the shutter of the store that said, "We are looking forward to seeing you reopen." So they decided to reopen the cafe.
• I gave them two different types of sinsai.info stickers, white and green, and mentioned that I became aware of the cafe through the report on sinsai.info.

This episode made me think that it is nice to see different kinds of rebuilding going on, particularly in this situation.

Well, I think this is an important report. So I'm adding my name to this entry!
