Re: [tlug] Japanese version of Freegeek?

["Ivan Stout" <aibanhamano@example.com>]

Josh,

Thank you very much for the encouraging advice.

I have just subscribed to the admin list and will be
trying to gather information regarding NPOs and
Freegeek like operations in Japan so that it can
be posted to the wiki once it is set-up.

I will try to periodically post finding that I find significant on the
admin list.

Cheers,

Ivan
