   Topics: 1) "Asterix@example.com"
           by Alberto Tomita

           2) "Web Performance Testing"
           by Zev Blut

           3) Officer elections

Alberto will give a talk about his adventures with Asterix@example.com and
give a demo the usage of an Asterix@example.com CD.  I am sure he will wow
the audience with some serious VOIP PBX functionality!

Zev is going to give a brief introduction to some open source tools
that will help you test the performance of your web server or MySql
database.  The main tools to discuss are ApacheBench, JMeter and
super-smack.

Finally, a year has passed since the last officer elections and it
would not be right if we did not give members the chance to elect new
officers or keep the current ones.  The positions up for election are
President, Uvae President, and Treasurer.  The non-elected position of
Web Master is also looking for volunteers.


Other items on the agenda are:
1. Introduction of new members, news about Linux/Open Source,
    general announcements, Q&A
2. Auction

All Linux users and supporters of open source code and free software
are invited to attend this Tokyo Linux Users Group (TLUG) meeting.
Membership is open to anyone. There are no membership dues or entrance
fees.

After the meeting, we will continue chatting over a few beers.

About TLUG

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.
