Alberto Tomita,

The same one from Shinagawa Toastmasters? I have seen your name on here for a long time and it never dawned on me.

-=-=-=- Announcement: April 2016 TLUG Technical Meeting -=-=-=-=-
Meeting information Date: April 16, 2016 (Saturday)

    Time:  13:30-17:00 (doors open 13:00)

    Place: IIJ (Internet Initiative Japan)
           Iidabashi Grand Bloom
           2-10-2 Fujimi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 102-0071

    Presentations:
    1.   How things are routed on the Internet (by Curt Sampson)
         Do you want to know where and how your packets are routed across the Internet?
         Curt will explain this, based on actual data you bring in. Before you come to
         the meeting, run
            traceroute login.worldoftanks.asia

         and we will go through the list of names and IP addresses that come up and compare
         what's happening in your Internet connection with that of other TLUG members.

         Depending on interest, we might delve quite deep in to the details of either or both
         of Internet routing and how your host processes packets internally once they've been
         received.

    2.  Ethereum: The unstoppable decentralized world computer that's going to kill us all
        (by Edmund Edgar)

        Edmund will talk about what Ethereum is and how you can use it to write fully-verifiable
        decentralized applications that don't need a server and can't be shut down.

        https://www.ethereum.org/
        "Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that run
         exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third
         party interference."

        "These apps run on a custom built blockchain, an enormously powerful shared global
         infrastructure that can move value around and represent the ownership of property.
         This enables developers to create markets, store registries of debts or promises,
         move funds in accordance with instructions given long in the past (like a will or
         a futures contract) and many other things that have not been invented yet, all without
         a middle man or counterparty risk."

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
