[Pacemaker] Permission request for translating your document into Japanese

[Motoharu Kubo]

Hi Ikeda-san,

I am glad to see your message.

Of course I am welcome to work with you not only for translation but
also discussion how to spread HA technology in Japan.  I would like to
meet you on Sep. 29 after the seminar and discuss how to share our
experience and cooporate together.

Thank you very much for your attachment.  I am surprised and impressed
with that you almost finished.  As I am working on Docbook XML format,
so we would better how to merge your and my document.

I look forward to seeing you on Thursday.

Best Regards,
Motoharu Kubo]
