   Presentations:
	1.  Raspberry Pi in Japan (by Masafumi Ohta)
           Ohta-san will present a report on the activities of the RPi
           community in Japan that took place throughout 2013. He will
           also talk about his plans to hold an event early in 2014, 
           when Eben Upton is scheduled to come to Japan. 

	2.  Introduction to Docker (by Travis Cardwell)
           Full virtualization has been around since the 1960s, but increased 
           hardware speeds allowed the technology to revolutionize commodity
           server and workstation infrastructure in the mid-2000s. Similarly, 
           operating system-level virtualization has its roots in FreeBSD jails, 
           dating back to 1998, but the release of Docker in 2013 allows easy 
           use of Linux containers and is bringing about another revolution.
           In this presentation, Travis will explain the technology behind 
           Docker and demonstrate its use. Change the way you use Linux!

About TLUG
----------
TLUG is a non-profit, non-political organization established in June
of 1994 to exchange information on the use of Linux and Free Software
Foundation tools. TLUG has an active mailing list, home page, and
regular physical meetings. Discussions are primarily held in English,
but non-English speakers are encouraged to come and participate.
We especially want to encourage Japanese people to attend and will make
efforts to support a bilingual meeting.

TLUG generally hosts technical meetings every odd-numbered month on the
2nd Saturday, and a nomikai (social even at a pub) every even-numbered
month on the 2nd Friday.

The TLUG home page is available at http://www.tlug.jp
