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 hosts technical meetings every even month on the 2nd Saturday, and
nomikai's every odd month on the 3rd Friday.

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

Technical Meeting Topic
-----------------------
Steven Baur is the head maintainer of XEmacs (since 19.15/20.0)
and has a large experience in various areas of software. 

Martin Buchholz is currently the active developer most familiar
with Mule internals. He was formerly employed by Sun Microsystems
to work on XEmacs, and in particular on Mule.

Steven and Martin will talk about the current status of XEmacs 
development, Mule and multi-lingual support, the influence of Java
on internationalization and the future of XEmacs and Emacs-like
environments. They will also talk about Open Source Software (OSS)
development issues, such as project management, commercial support
for an independent OSS project, and the future of internationalization
in the Open Source community.

Raffle and items for auction
----------------------------
The following items will be raffled or auctioned at the meeting:

* RedHat Linux Variety Pack CD-ROMs (contains the Red Hat Linux 5.2
  distribution for the Alpha, Intel and SPARCplatforms, along with
  the source code)

* TLUG CD-ROMs (TLUG original! featuring the updated TLUG mailing list
  and Web archives, Monash Nihongo Archive, Linux kernels v2.2.1 and

* RedHat Linux T-shirts, mouse pads, bumper stickers

Meeting Place
-------------
(map at http://www.tuj.ac.jp/maps.html)

The Temple University Japan (TUJ) Campus is located at 'San no Hashi'
(the street name is 'Sakurada Dori'). The DHC building across the street
has a HUGE four sided sign that says DHC. The 06 bus from Shibuya stops
at Furukawa-bashi, which is a one block walk away from TUJ. TUJ is in a
single big building with a sign out front, right on Sakurada Dori.

Cab drivers will take you right there if you ask for San no Hashi. It is a
15 minute walk from Tamachi, but while it is pretty straight forward, it
needs a map, as there are a couple of jogs in the route.

The 96 bus also stops there, and I think the 92 bus as well. It is a 20
minute walk from Hiro (Just go to Tengen-ji Bashi intersection and head
toward Azabu Ju-ban on Meijidori), or a minimum price cab ride from either
Hiro or Tamachi

Once in the university building, take the elevator to the 8th floor.
Turn left out of the elevator and you will walk right into a foyer and
see the rooms 803/804 where the meeting will take place.
