Fellow UniForum Members, UniForum Affiliate Members, & USENIX Members:
UniForum Canada invites you to join us in Dallas, Texas, at our
hospitality suite during the UniForum Conference and Show to discuss
topics of mutual interest and enjoy some Canadian refreshments.
Drop by the UniForum Affiliate booth on the UniForum Exhibition floor
at INFOMART to register and pick up an invitation.
We hope that we can meet with you informally to discuss your ideas and
concerns so that we can gain a better understanding of the UNIX user
community outside of Canada, and so that you may find out what we do.

Wow, I *hate* hospitality suites that require an "invitation". Wellfleet pulled this at Interop and actually had someone at the door checking--if you didn't have one and didn't look right, I guess they asked you to leave. If you didn't have one and looked OK, you had to wait to meet your area's salesperson ...

What is the proper way to wear a UniSuit at Interop in order to
"look right"? Actually, at Interop you would expect the salescritters to
be able to interoperate with people regardless of how they look. How do
they expect your machine to interoperate with their machine if their
salescriters refuses to interoperate with you?
I could go on about how they should be conservative in how they
dress and liberal in judging how other people dress, but that would
probably violate protocol on this group.
Maybe to get in, you have to give the guy at the door the secret
(three-way) handshake?

Sounds like they borrowed the technique from the way Studio 54 in New York used to select people who were allowed to go in back in the late 70's :-) George -- George W.
