MPLUG appears to have been the Mid-Pacific Linux User's Group. Google
cache shows their www page from a year ago (Feb. 18, 2006)
http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:a8ajOwFq70QJ:www.mplug.org/+mplug&h
l=en&ct=clnk&cd=5&gl=us
with the following text:
July 26, 2003 - MPLUG and LUAU have merged into the Hawaii Open Source
Education Foundation.
It links to http://www.hosef.org/
The mplug.org domain is currently owned by a Warren Togami with
addresses in Nashua, New Hampshire and Honolulu, Hawaii. Very odd.
