Hi Edward

Are you still looking for presenters for next month? My company (Axsh) has just released Wakame-vdc 11.06. It's an open source virtual data centre witten in Ruby that runs on Ubuntu and Solaris. I thought about presenting it to TLUG. What do you think?

          "Linux Storage - an introduction to FCoE/DCB"
          By Jack Morgan

Linux storage options are growing with each release of the Linux kernel.
Jack Morgan will introduce Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and it's
adjacent technology Data Canter Bridging (DCB) for 10Gbe adapters. He
will cover some of the technical details of these two technologies,
discuss how to get them installed/configured on your system and provide
a demonstration, assuming we have Internet access. Here are a few links:

FCoE:

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

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
----------
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 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
