1. The document discusses the state of Ruby and Rails in Japan, noting that while Rails conferences exist internationally, there is no major Rails-focused conference in Japan. 2. It explores why Rails may be seen as "English software" in Japan and argues that the community needs to translate more materials to help globalize Ruby. 3. The author advocates getting more Japanese Rubyists involved in open source contributions to help spread Japanese Ruby innovations worldwide and integrate the local community with the global one.
