Right!  I'll do that!  Sorry!

I gave it another read-over and I have made one small change.  I removed 
the exclamation mark at the end of the second paragraph.  It's been 
there through several drafts, but I just realized that it bugs me every 
time I see it!  I think the fire bit could use it, but the whole 
paragraph reads better with a period, don't you agree?

Here's the full text again.

The Tokyo Linux Users Group emerged from the creative energies of a 
number of Japan's Internet pioneers. In recognition of the significance 
of Linux, TLUG's earliest incarnation, the "LINUX" conference, was 
created on June 16, 1994 on TWICS (the only public access ISP in Japan 
at that time). Those pioneering early days were exciting, with everyone 
helping each other learn about Linux. In September, the first official 
"TLUG" meeting was held.

Over the intervening years, TLUG meetings were generally held every few 
months, featuring speakers like Jeremy Allison, Tim O'Reilly and Eric 
Raymond. Copious amounts of beer were consumed, a Japanese beer-hall was 
nearly set on fire, and most importantly, TLUG members helped each other 
solve many interesting problems related to Linux and Open Source software.

TLUG has established itself as one of the foremost Internet resources 
for issues related to using the Japanese language on Linux / Unix, and 
is proud to count a number of field-leading figures among its members, 
including: the founder of the EDICT project, the XEmacs Release Manager, 
the leading translator of open source literature into Japanese, the 
founder of the Digital Dictionary of Buddhism, a prominent Perl hacker, 
a salty NetBSD / XFree86 hacker, a GNOME hacker, the editor of the 
Gentoo Weekly Newsletter, a Gentoo developer, and a legion of 
knowledgeable people who have a lot of fun playing with Linux.

TLUG holds meetings every month now, alternating between technical 
meetings and drinking parties. Membership (like love) doesn't cost a 
thing, and everyone is welcome, even if you are not in Tokyo or even 
Japan--some of our most active mailing list members live overseas--so 
stop by tlug.jp anytime!
