				<p>This year, we're looking to elect new president who can
				serve the wonderful Tokyo Linux user community for the year
				2003.</p>
				
				<p>President's job includes organizing technical meetings,
				(i.e., finding a meeting hall and speakers) set the general
				direction for the group, boss around the other officers (just
				kidding!) and promote the use of linux through technical
				meetings and drinking parties.</p>

				<p>Election Result:</p>

				<li>Auction</li>
				
				<p>
				Thanks to the illegally parked Ulrich Plate, we had a
				successful auction of the remnants of the Jonathan Byrne Legacy
				Collection.  People donated a total of Y6100 to TLUG.
				</p>
				<p>
				Thanks again to Ulrich for bringing along the items for
				auction... and then auctioning them off.  And to everyone
				for participating and donating to the group.
				</p>
				
				<li>Project at OSDL Japan</li>

				<p>OSDL (Open Source Development Lab) currently hosts TLUG's server
				free of charge in their Yokohama datacentre, on the condition 
				that TLUG proposes a Linux-based project with them, for which 
				they will provide development environment. This is a great way to 
				contribute to the open source community. 
				</p>

				<p>If you have any suggestions, please bring them here for us to 
				discuss and participate in.
