Attention VMS and Ultrix Users!!!
New Mexico DECUS is for you!
NM DECUS 1991
March 6, 7, 8
Holiday Inn Pyramid
Albuquerque, New Mexico
The NM Regional Digital Equipment Corporation Users' Society
(DECUS) Conference is a gathering of professionals from all walks
of life who use Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) machines to do
their jobs.
Your fellow DEC users will be meeting and presenting papers that
cover "A Duke's Mixture" of topics related to using DEC computers,
such as Intro-to-Advanced VMS, ULTRIX, and UNIX; applications
software including MUMPS and ALL-IN-1; Using TPU; X Windows and
using/managing work stations; Project Management; Hardware
Environment; the DECUS Tape Library; DEC's Educational Software
Library; online information, networking, connectivity and security
to name a few.
o We need your help!
Since the conference is for you, we would like to ask your help.
If you have an idea for a topic that is of interest to you or a
workshop that you would like to attend, please contact me or
submit your ideas within our online NM DECUS information service
(See how to "make the connection" to nmdecus@technet.nm.org
below.)
o Plan to be there!
On March 6, the day before the conference, several all-day,
intensive workshops will be offered. The conference will be held
on March 7-8 in Albuquerque at the Holiday Inn Pyramid.
For a detailed description of the workshops and the speakers,
please check them out in our online conference information bulletin
board. (See below on how to dial-in or telnet to this service!)
o Registration fees
The registration fee for an all-day workshop is $100. The
registration fee for the the two-day conference is $95.
o Give a little, get a lot
The 1991 NM Regional Digital Equipment Corporation Users' Society
(DECUS) Conference is only a few snowstorms away and we're busy
planning a great program. With a little help, this will be a super
program!
The heart of any DECUS conference is user presentations. They
determine what impression you are left with when the conference is
over. And those who consistently give the best presentations are
ordinary folks like us, users who are out there on the keyboards.
Giving a presentation takes a bit of effort, but can you think of
any worthwhile endeavor that doesn't? And a bit of effort is all
the rest is just fun!
There is still time to be included on our agenda for 1991, just
e-mail a brief summary of what you'd like to talk about to
sday@triton.unm.edu immediately (sorry, but NM DECUS is just around
the corner!). The Program Committee will review all submissions
and notify you as soon as possible. Please note that all speakers
are required to pay the registration fee.
Volunteers to serve as Session Chairs and in other capacities are
also needed. Being involved helps establish lines of communication
and provides awareness of what others in your field are doing with
their systems.
o The plan so far
The Pre-Conference workshops for March 6 are in good shape, but the
main conference schedule is wide open. We need topics that provide
information for a variety of users, from ground zero beginners to
advanced veteran administrators.
Besides presentations, the 1991 conference will feature tours of
DEC's Albuquerque facility during the March 6, 7, and 8 schedule.
We will also feed you (luncheons every day), hold evening
receptions, open a Conference store, and find room for a DEC
exhibit area.
This year's registration fee will be $95 for pre-registration and
$125 after February 19; pre-conference workshops will be $100.
