are involved in a project or have something you would like to talk
about, we are always looking for presenters.

Josh will explain FUSE (Filesystem in UserSpacE), introduce a few neat
filesystems built on top of FUSE, and use his s3fs-jmglov to illustrate
the FUSE API.

Henri Servomaa's Xen lightning talk has been postponed.

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

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
----------
TLUG is a non-profit, non-political organization established in June
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.
We especially want to encourage Japanese people to attend and will make
efforts to support a bilingual meeting.

TLUG generally hosts technical meetings every odd month on the 2nd
Saturday, and a nomikai (social even at a pub) every even month on the
3rd Friday.

The TLUG home page is available at http://www.tlug.jp
