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 (we will accept donations to help cover the room usage costs). 

At this meeting, TLUG member Simon Cozens will talk about the next
version of Perl. Perl 5.6, is nearing completion after a year's
development, and is expected to be released in a month or so. 
He will introduce the new features of the upcoming release, paying
special attention to the Unicode support, which should make Japanese 
text processing much easier. 

Simon, aka "Perl guru", is the author of the book "Beginning Perl"
(http://www.perl.com/pub/1999/11/cozens.htm) and a contributor to
www.perl.com (check his article "Ten Perl Myths" at
         http://www.perl.com/pub/2000/01/10PerlMyths.html

After the talk, there will be a PGP key signing party. Bring your key, 
footprint and some identification.

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

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

Meeting Place
-------------
(http://www.tuj.ac.jp/maps/index.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, go up the stairs opposite the elevator to
the second floor, turn right down the hall to room 206. Of course you can
use the elevator as needed.

If you are coming to the meeting, join the mailing list by sending e-mail
to majordomo@example.com including

like by looking at the mail on the mailing list.
