[comp.graphics] ACM SIGs

uucime@sw1e.UUCP (0326]) (11/18/89)

I am in the process of joining the ACM.  I am trying to decide 
which SIGs to join and would appreciate the help of any members of 
the follwing SIGs : SIGCHI, SIGCOMM, SIGGRAPH, SIGOPS and SIGPLAN.

  What topics are covered ?
  How theoretical/practical are the articles ?
  What level of competence is assumed for the group ?
  How much reading material do you receive from the group ?
  What alternative resources do you recommend ?

                             Thanks

That all depends on whether you mean the local chapter (most universities have
one) or the national organization...


Local chapters vary wildly depending on the committment of the group at the time

I should know, I'm chaiman of the local SIGGRAPH here at the University of
Illinois.  

AS to the national organization, I'm really not sure...
