This is a great idea.

Yeah, I think that there are a lot of Linux and general computer
fanatics in Japan who really envy the robust culture in the US.  So
they're happy to do anything to promote any computer.  Despite what I
heard before coming to Japan (that there is a majority of people who
buy _only_ Sony, or _only_ Toshiba, or whatever), there seems to be
less in the way of brand wars here, at least for operating systems.
Most people seem to think whatever works is fine.

    Joe> ideas?).  I was hoping to add:

Subscription address and how to subscribe and get info, not the list

Monthly meetings, various archives of Japan-related Linux stuff,
currently mostly gaijin but happy to struggle with Nihongo (speaking

The address should be @example.com, like Majordomo.  In fact, since 
Majordomo already handles a list index and a list description
function, why not review the Majordomo tlug description and put
anything relevant in there?

I bet you can! as I wrote above.  Great idea!  I'll look into
advertising here in Tsukuba.  Won't get a lot of attendance at Tokyo
meetings, I bet, but we can try.
