          by Tomoyuki Sakurai

This month, Assoc. Prof. Hedeaki Shirata[1], a renowned expert in Cyber
Law, will be discussing the differences between Japanese copyright law
and those of the US and Europe.  If there are things you would like to
hear about please post your question to the list before the meeting.
Please be aware that not all questions may be answered.

Our second speaker Tomoyuki Sakurai will be introducing Puppet, a
framework to allow system administrators to perform automated system
configuration and change management.  In this session, you'll learn why
you need automation and how Puppet will change the way you maintain a
large number of roles and OSes.

If you can't make it to the meeting Yaegashi Takeshi will be
broadcasting it live.  For details look at the page.

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
2rd Friday.

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