Two Main Presentations:

"M-x Emacs" by Zev Blut

and editing text. 1 hour


"SEO for Software Companies" by Patrick McKenzie

Search engine optimization is a scalable and cost-effective method for 
Internet-based businesses to acquire customers. Software firms can 
leverage their products, websites, and skills to exploit opportunities 
in the current environment. The presentation offers tactical advice for 
engineers and marketers with intermediate to advanced knowledge of SEO 
and includes examples of results from employing techniques that benefit 
small businesses. 45 minutes


Both presentations will be in English but both speakers welcome 
questions and discussion in English and Japanese.

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:

1. Introduction of new members, news about Linux/Open Source from
   participants, general announcements, Q&A, etc.

2. Auction.

3. Discussion of TLUG meeting hosting changes.

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 month on the 3rd Friday.

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