  Main Topics)

          "All your base are belong to us"
          by Marty Pauley

          "Running a NAS with OpenSolaris ZFS"
          by Michael Sullivan

This month Marty Pauley will talk about network security.  In Marty's
words "It's great to have a net connection almost everywhere. But when
you read your email, are you the only one reading it? And while you may
be happy with Google tracking your every move on the web, what about
that guy sitting three rows behind you?"

Our second speaker Michael Sullivan will demonstrate how to setup
OpenSolaris ZFS on a NAS.  The talk will cover NFS, CIFS, iSCSI
configuration, and creating ZFS snapshots.

We will be holding the elections[1] for the TLUG officers positions[2].
If you would like to challenge an incumbent officer, indicate you
intention by posting to the tlug-admin mailing list no later then the
4th of July.

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 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
