There is no secret and it depends on the context, as I thought I had indicated in the post. But, basically, it comes down to determining how interested and engaged the region is (esp. those with resources) and if there exits the apparatus (institutional, infrastructural, etc.). And, you'll note I wrote, "contributors," too, meaning that I hold little hope for "developers" but a lot for contributors even beyond localizers.

Again, context says a lot. And context here implies resources as well as interest. Best successes are so far in China, where Redflag contributes, or IBM's contributions, and even Novell's early on. "interest" means here market interest. That said, there are always independents and students and the like, and I try to appeal to them as much as possible, too, but they need resources (money) just like the rest of us.
