   Presentations:
   1.  Digital Photography with Linux (by Alberto Tomita)
       This presentation will introduce some of the digital photography 
       applications available in Linux, from GIMP to Darktable, and going 
       through a few others.

       The first part will cover the very basics of photography and then
       introduce the concepts involved in digital photography, so that 
       everyone (including beginners) can understand what the tools do.
       For intermediary and advanced photographers, this will also be a 
       chance to review the basics and exchange ideas.

   2. OpenVNet live demo from scratch (by Andreas Kieckens)
      OpenVNet is a Software Defined Networking solution developed by Axsh Co LTD.
      (where Andreas works) and published as free open source software 
      http://axsh.jp/openvnet/

      During this presentation, Andreas will demonstrate how to set up OpenVNet 
      from scratch. Over the course of the demo we will:
      * Install OpenVNet on a single Centos VM.
      * Set up multiple virtual network topologies.
      * Use the vnflows-monitor tool to show OpenVNet's internal "flows".

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.

month on the 2nd Friday.
