"Get together in Fukuoka for good sushi!" Under these words, excellent programmers came to Momochi, Fukuoka, where Fukuoka dome locates, in April, 1997. Using Institute of Systems & Information Technologies, Kyushu as a hacking room and Hyatt Regency as sleeping rooms, MH independence project for 3 nights started.
Eating anyway, hacking as we like, and discussing comprehensively. We repeated these steps over and over. As we left Fukuoka, Mew became somehow independent on MH by using IM instead. (Engel's coefficient of this week is, of course, very high...)
Afterwords, we discussed on mailing list, tried to achieve consensus, and then hacked again and again. Finally master Utashiro casted a spell to make IM much faster then IM beta version was released in early July.
