Thanks for your ideas and enthusiasm! :)

Since the "Linux Quiz" content is (likely) more general than what you will 
cover in your presentation, perhaps it would serve better as a warm-up. 
Doing a quiz at the end of your presentation would make the meeting even 
more cohesive!  Even in this case, it would be great to collaborate in 
order to make them work well together.

If you would prefer to go first, however, then I would be happy including 
your quiz questions in the "Linux Quiz."  Note that I will of course give 
attribution to all of the quiz questions.

The idea of prizes is interesting.  I wonder if giving out prizes for 
answers would be counter-productive, as it might encourage participants 
with more experience to answer quickly instead of letting participants 
with less experience have a chance to answer (and then providing 
feedback).  Prizes would be helpful in cases where nobody wants to speak 
up, but I do not think that will be a problem with an international group. ;)

If we want to give out prizes, perhaps we could get some from sponsors:
* 3,000 yen Conoha coupons from GMO?
* Member-price coupons from Tokyo Hackerspace?
* Stickers or other swag from various companies?

Perhaps we can simply give out prizes to all who participate?

I will email again this evening or tomorrow morning, after giving people 
more time to comment.

Cheers,

Travis
