Project Vine is an organization to release a Linux distribution with Japanese environment. Project Vine was founded by six members of *)PJE(Project JE) in 1998 and has developed Vine Linux with new members and many volunteers in Japan.
*) PJE was a famous project in Japan. PJE had released packages to set up Japanese environment on slackware and Red Hat Linux, and played an important role for the introduction of Linux in Japan. Many applications developed by PJE were included by some distributions such as RedHat Japanese version (which is released as Laser 5 Linux now).
