From: std-unix@uunet.UU.NET
This is the latest in a series of similar comp.std.unix articles,
intended to give summary information about UNIX User groups;
to be accurate, but not exhaustive. It's cross-posted to
comp.org.usenix and comp.unix.questions because there might be
interest there.
There are three related articles, posted at the same time as this one,
and with subjects
Calendar of UNIX-related Events
Access to UNIX-Related Publications
Access to UNIX-Related Standards
The latter is posted only to comp.std.unix.
Corrections and additions to this article are solicited. I keep track
of the conferences, groups, and publications that I attend, am a member
of, or subscribe to. All others (the majority of the listings) I derive
either from listings elsewhere, or from contributions by readers.
In particular, the meeting schedules and descriptions of most of the
groups are provided by their members. If a group doesn't have a
meeting schedule listed, it's because nobody has sent me one. This is
a low-budget operation: I publish what I have on hand when the time
comes (approximately monthly).
Changes since last posting:
USENIX Conferences 1992 and 1993, and corrected dates, 1989-1991.
UniForum 1993.

by Philips. Excerpts from a press release of that date:
The Open Software Foundation (OSF) will develop a software environment,
including application interfaces, advanced system extensions, and a new
operating system, using X/Open(tm) and POSIX* specifications as the
starting point. ... OSF membership is available to computer hardware
and software suppliers, educational institutions, and government
agencies around the world. ... The foundation has a management
organization, staff, and a funding comittment in excess of $90 million
to begin immediate operations. Its initial development will be based
on technologies offered by the members and its own research, to be
carried out worldwide.
A research institute is being created to fund research for the
advancement of applications portability, interoperability standards,
and other advanced technologies for future foundation use. An
academic advisory panel will provide guidance and input to the
institute. The Institute's research will be conducted worldwide.

starting point. ... OSF membership is available to computer hardware
and software suppliers, educational institutions, and government
agencies around the world. ... The foundation has a management
organization, staff, and a funding comittment in excess of $90 million
to begin immediate operations. Its initial development will be based
on technologies offered by the members and its own research, to be
carried out worldwide.
A research institute is being created to fund research for the
advancement of applications portability, interoperability standards,
and other advanced technologies for future foundation use. An
academic advisory panel will provide guidance and input to the
institute. The Institute's research will be conducted worldwide.

This is the latest in a series of similar comp.std.unix articles,
intended to give summary information about UNIX User groups;
to be accurate, but not exhaustive. It's cross-posted to
comp.org.usenix and comp.unix.questions because there might be
interest there.
There are three related articles, posted at the same time as this one,
and with subjects
Calendar of UNIX-related Events
Access to UNIX-Related Publications
Access to UNIX-Related Standards
The latter is posted only to comp.std.unix.
Corrections and additions to this article are solicited. I keep track
of the conferences, groups, and publications that I attend, am a member
of, or subscribe to. All others (the majority of the listings) I derive
either from listings elsewhere, or from contributions by readers.
In particular, the meeting schedules and descriptions of most of the
groups are provided by their members. If a group doesn't have a
meeting schedule listed, it's because nobody has sent me one. This is
a low-budget operation: I publish what I have on hand when the time
comes (approximately monthly).
Changes since last posting: Hungarian address. Exact JUS dates for 1989.
AMIX events. ICX89. New OSF address.

out of print, but reprints are being planned.
USENIX publishes ``;login: The USENIX Association Newsletter''
bimonthly. It is sent free of charge to all their members and
includes technical papers. There is a USENET newsgroup,
comp.org.usenix, for discussion of USENIX-related matters.
In 1988, USENIX started publishing a new refereed quarterly
technical journal, ``Computing Systems: The Journal of the USENIX
Association,'' in cooperation with University of California Press.
They also publish an edition of the 4.3BSD manuals and distribute the
2.10BSD software distribution. They coordinate a software exchange for
appropriately licensed members. They occasionally sponsor experiments,
such as methods of improving the USENET and UUCP networks (e.g., UUNET),
that are of interest and use to the membership.
There is a USENIX Institutional Representative on the IEEE P1003
Portable Operating System Interface for Computer Environments Committee.
That representative also moderates the USENET newsgroup comp.std.unix,
which is for discussion of UNIX-related standards, especially P1003.
There is also a USENIX Standards Watchdog Committee following several
standards bodies. For more details, see the posting in comp.std.unix,
``Access to UNIX-Related Standards.''

products and services developed specifically for the UNIX operating system.
``/usr/digest'' is also published by /usr/group. This newsletter covers
product announcements and industry projections, and is sent biweekly
to General members of /usr/group and to non-member subscribers.
/usr/group has long been deeply involved in UNIX standardization,
having sponsored the ``/usr/group 1984 Standard,'' providing an Institutional
Representative to the IEEE P1003 Portable Operating System for Computer
Environments Committee, and sponsoring the /usr/group Technical Committee
on areas that P1003 has not yet addressed. They have recently produced
an executive summary, ``Your Guide to POSIX,'' and a technical overview
``POSIX Explored,'' and funded production of a draft of a ``Rationale and
Notes'' appendix for IEEE 1003.1.

std-unix@uunet.UU.NET (10/30/89)
This is the latest in a series of similar comp.std.unix articles,
intended to give summary information about UNIX User groups;
to be accurate, but not exhaustive. It's cross-posted to
comp.org.usenix and comp.unix.questions because there might be
interest there. These articles were originated by John S. Quarterman
of TIC, Austin, Texas. This issue of October 1989 was researched by
Susanne W. Smith of Windsound Consulting, Seattle, Washington
<sws@calvin.wa.com>.
There are three related articles, posted at the same time as this one,
and with subjects
Calendar of UNIX-related Events
Access to UNIX-Related Publications
Access to UNIX-Related Standards
The latter is posted only to comp.std.unix.
Corrections and additions to this article are solicited. I keep track
of the conferences, groups, and publications that I attend, am a member
of, or subscribe to. All others (the majority of the listings) I derive
either from listings elsewhere, or from contributions by readers.
In particular, the meeting schedules and descriptions of most of the
groups are provided by their members. If a group doesn't have a
meeting schedule listed, it's because nobody has sent me one. This is
a low-budget operation: I publish what I have on hand when the time
comes (approximately monthly).
Changes since last posting: 1990 meeting dates for JUS and /usr/group/cdn,
DECUS Toronto meeting

USENIX sponsors two USENIX Conferences a year, featuring technical papers,
as well as tutorials, and with vendor exhibits at the summer conferences:
1990 Jan 22-26 USENIX Omni Shoreham, Washington, DC
1990 Apr 9-11 C++ San Francisco, CA
1990 Jun 11-15 USENIX Marriott Hotel, Anaheim, CA
1991 Jan 21-25 USENIX Grand Kempinski, Dallas, TX
1991 Jun 10-14 USENIX Opryland, Nashville, TN
1992 Jan 20-24 USENIX Hilton Square, San Francisco, CA
1992 Jun 8-12 USENIX Marriott, San Antonio, TX
1993 Jan USENIX Town & Country, San Diego, CA
1993 Jun 21-25 USENIX Cincinnati, OH
They also sponsor workshops, such as
1989 Nov 16-17 Graphics Workshop V Monterey, CA
Proceedings for all conferences and workshops are available at
the door and by mail later. Some of the older ones have been
out of print, but the office will duplicate small quantities for you.
USENIX publishes ``;login: The USENIX Association Newsletter''
bimonthly. It is sent free of charge to all their members and
includes technical papers. There is a USENET newsgroup,
comp.org.usenix, for discussion of USENIX-related matters.
In 1988, USENIX started publishing a new refereed quarterly
technical journal, ``Computing Systems: The Journal of the USENIX
Association,'' in cooperation with University of California Press.
They also publish an edition of the 4.3BSD manuals and distribute the
2.10BSD software distribution. They coordinate a software exchange for
appropriately licensed members. They occasionally sponsor experiments,
such as methods of improving the USENET and UUCP networks (e.g., UUNET),
that are of interest and use to the membership.
There is a USENIX Institutional Representative on the IEEE P1003
Portable Operating System Interface for Computer Environments Committee.
That representative also moderates the USENET newsgroup comp.std.unix,
which is for discussion of UNIX-related standards, especially P1003.
There is also a USENIX Standards Watchdog Committee following several
standards bodies. For more details, see the posting in comp.std.unix,
``Access to UNIX-Related Standards.''
UniForum (formerly /usr/group) is a non-profit trade association dedicated
to the promotion of products and services based on the UNIX operating system.

1992 Jan 21-24 UniForum Moscone Center, San Francisco, CA
1993 Mar 2-4 UniForum Washington, D.C.
Proceedings for all conferences are available at the shows and later
by mail.
UniForum publishes ``CommUNIXations,'' a member magazine that
features articles by industry leaders and observers, technical issues,
standards coverage, and new product announcements.
UniForum also publishes the ``UNIX Products Directory,'' which lists
products and services developed specifically for the UNIX operating system.
``/usr/digest'' is also published by UniForum. This newsletter covers
product announcements and industry projections, and is sent biweekly
to General members of UniForum and to non-member subscribers.
UniForum has long been deeply involved in UNIX standardization,
having sponsored the ``/usr/group 1984 Standard,'' providing an Institutional
Representative to the IEEE P1003 Portable Operating System for Computer
Environments Committee, and sponsoring the UniForum Technical Committee
on areas that P1003 has not yet addressed. They have recently produced
an executive summary, ``Your Guide to POSIX,'' and a technical overview
``POSIX Explored,'' and funded production of a draft of a ``Rationale and
Notes'' appendix for IEEE 1003.1.
UNIX EXPO is an annual very large vendor exhibit in New York City
with tutorials and technical presentations. It is held at the

Proceedings for all conferences and workshops are available at
the door and by mail later. Some of the older ones have been
out of print, but the office will duplicate small quantities for you.
USENIX publishes ``;login: The USENIX Association Newsletter''
bimonthly. It is sent free of charge to all their members and
includes technical papers. There is a USENET newsgroup,
comp.org.usenix, for discussion of USENIX-related matters.
In 1988, USENIX started publishing a new refereed quarterly
technical journal, ``Computing Systems: The Journal of the USENIX
Association,'' in cooperation with University of California Press.
They also publish an edition of the 4.3BSD manuals and distribute the
2.10BSD software distribution. They coordinate a software exchange for
appropriately licensed members. They occasionally sponsor experiments,
such as methods of improving the USENET and UUCP networks (e.g., UUNET),
that are of interest and use to the membership.
There is a USENIX Institutional Representative on the IEEE P1003
Portable Operating System Interface for Computer Environments Committee.
That representative also moderates the USENET newsgroup comp.std.unix,
which is for discussion of UNIX-related standards, especially P1003.
There is also a USENIX Standards Watchdog Committee following several
standards bodies. For more details, see the posting in comp.std.unix,
``Access to UNIX-Related Standards.''
UniForum (formerly /usr/group) is a non-profit trade association dedicated
to the promotion of products and services based on the UNIX operating system.

UniForum publishes ``CommUNIXations,'' a member magazine that
features articles by industry leaders and observers, technical issues,
standards coverage, and new product announcements.
UniForum also publishes the ``UNIX Products Directory,'' which lists
products and services developed specifically for the UNIX operating system.
``/usr/digest'' is also published by UniForum. This newsletter covers
product announcements and industry projections, and is sent biweekly
to General members of UniForum and to non-member subscribers.
UniForum has long been deeply involved in UNIX standardization,
having sponsored the ``/usr/group 1984 Standard,'' providing an Institutional
Representative to the IEEE P1003 Portable Operating System for Computer
Environments Committee, and sponsoring the UniForum Technical Committee
on areas that P1003 has not yet addressed. They have recently produced
an executive summary, ``Your Guide to POSIX,'' and a technical overview
``POSIX Explored,'' and funded production of a draft of a ``Rationale and
Notes'' appendix for IEEE 1003.1.
UNIX EXPO is an annual very large vendor exhibit in New York City
with tutorials and technical presentations. It is held at the

USENIX publishes ``;login: The USENIX Association Newsletter''
bimonthly. It is sent free of charge to all their members and
includes technical papers. There is a USENET newsgroup,
comp.org.usenix, for discussion of USENIX-related matters.
In 1988, USENIX started publishing a new refereed quarterly
technical journal, ``Computing Systems: The Journal of the USENIX
Association,'' in cooperation with University of California Press.
They also publish an edition of the 4.3BSD manuals and distribute the
2.10BSD software distribution. They coordinate a software exchange for
appropriately licensed members. They occasionally sponsor experiments,
such as methods of improving the USENET and UUCP networks (e.g., UUNET),
that are of interest and use to the membership.
There is a USENIX Institutional Representative on the IEEE P1003
Portable Operating System Interface for Computer Environments Committee.
That representative also moderates the USENET newsgroup comp.std.unix,
which is for discussion of UNIX-related standards, especially P1003.
There is also a USENIX Standards Watchdog Committee following several
standards bodies. For more details, see the posting in comp.std.unix,
``Access to UNIX-Related Standards.''
UniForum (formerly /usr/group) is a non-profit trade association dedicated
to the promotion of products and services based on the UNIX operating system.

UniForum has long been deeply involved in UNIX standardization,
having sponsored the ``/usr/group 1984 Standard,'' providing an Institutional
Representative to the IEEE P1003 Portable Operating System for Computer
Environments Committee, and sponsoring the UniForum Technical Committee
on areas that P1003 has not yet addressed. They have recently produced
an executive summary, ``Your Guide to POSIX,'' and a technical overview
``POSIX Explored,'' and funded production of a draft of a ``Rationale and
Notes'' appendix for IEEE 1003.1.

This is the latest in a series of similar comp.std.unix articles,
intended to give summary information about UNIX User groups;
to be accurate, but not exhaustive. It's cross-posted to
comp.org.usenix and comp.unix.questions because there might be
interest there.
There are three related articles, posted at the same time as this one,
with subjects
Calendar of UNIX-related Events
Access to UNIX-Related Publications
Access to UNIX-Related Standards
The latter is posted only to comp.std.unix.
These access postings are collected and posted by Susanne W. Smith
of Windsound Consulting <sws@calvin.wa.com> and were originated by
John S. Quarterman of Texas Internet Consulting <jsq@longway.tic.com>.
The information in them comes from a wide variety of sources.
We encourage others to reuse this information, but we ask for proper
acknowledgment, for example by including this statement.
Corrections and additions to this article are solicited. I keep track
of the conferences, groups, and publications that I attend, am a member
of, or subscribe to. All others (the majority of the listings) I derive
either from listings elsewhere, or from contributions by readers.
In particular, the meeting schedules and descriptions of most of the
groups are provided by their members. If a group doesn't have a
meeting schedule listed, it's because nobody has sent me one. This is
a low-budget operation: I publish what I have on hand when the time
comes (approximately bi-monthly).
Changes since last posting: Sun User Group, New DECUS phone number,
USENIX workshops, /usr/group/cdn is now UniForum Canada.

This is the latest in a series of similar comp.std.unix articles,
intended to give summary information about UNIX User groups;
to be accurate, but not exhaustive. It's cross-posted to
comp.org.usenix and comp.unix.questions because there might be
interest there.
There are four related articles, posted at the same time as this one,
with subjects
Calendar of UNIX-related Events
Access to UNIX-Related Networking
Access to UNIX-Related Publications
Access to UNIX-Related Standards
The latter is posted only to comp.std.unix.
These access postings are collected and posted by Susanne W. Smith
of Windsound Consulting <sws@calvin.wa.com> and were originated by
John S. Quarterman of Texas Internet Consulting <jsq@tic.com>.
The information in them comes from a wide variety of sources.
We encourage others to reuse this information, but we ask for proper
acknowledgment, for example by including this statement.
Corrections and additions to this article are solicited. We keep track
of the conferences, groups, and publications that we attend, am a member
of, or subscribe to. All others (the majority of the listings) we derive
either from listings elsewhere, or from contributions by readers.
In particular, the meeting schedules and descriptions of most of the
groups are provided by their members. If a group doesn't have a
meeting schedule listed, it's because nobody has sent me <sws@calvin.wa.com>
one. This is a low-budget operation: We publish what we have on hand
when the time comes (approximaTely bi-monthly).
Changes since last posting: additional groups - CHUUG, CSUUG,
NCR UNIX User Group, SUUG, conference dates
for - UKUUG, NLUUG, i2u, UUGA, AMIX, SEDMS Workshop,
contact information for NLUUG and YUUG.
Access information is given in this article for the following:

USENIX publishes ``;login: The USENIX Association Newsletter''
bimonthly. It is sent free of charge to all their members and
includes technical papers. There is a USENET newsgroup,
comp.org.usenix, for discussion of USENIX-related matters.
In 1988, USENIX started publishing a refereed quarterly
technical journal, ``Computing Systems: The Journal of the USENIX
Association,'' in cooperation with University of California Press.
They also publish an edition of the 4.3BSD manuals and distribute the
2.10BSD software distribution. They coordinate a software exchange for
appropriaTely licensed members. They occasionally sponsor experiments,
such as methods of improving the USENET and UUCP networks (e.g., UUNET),
that are of interest and use to the membership.
There is a USENIX Institutional Representative on the IEEE P1003
Portable Operating System Interface for Computer Environments Committee.
That representative also moderates the USENET newsgroup comp.std.unix,
which is for discussion of UNIX-related standards, especially P1003.
There is also a USENIX Standards Watchdog Committee following several
standards bodies. For more details, see the posting in comp.std.unix,
``Access to UNIX-Related Standards.''

UniForum publishes ``CommUNIXations,'' a member magazine that
features articles by industry leaders and observers, technical issues,
standards coverage, and new product announcements.
UniForum also publishes the ``UNIX Products Directory,'' which lists
products and services developed specifically for the UNIX operating system.
``UniNews'', formerly ``/usr/digest'', is also published by UniForum.
This newsletter covers product announcements and industry projections,
and is sent biweekly to General members of UniForum and to non-member
subscribers.
UniForum has long been deeply involved in UNIX standardization,
having sponsored the ``/usr/group 1984 Standard,'' providing an Institutional
Representative to the IEEE P1003 Portable Operating System for Computer
Environments Committee, and sponsoring the UniForum Technical Committee
on areas that P1003 has not yet addressed. They publish the documents,
``Your Guide to POSIX,'' explaining what IEEE 1003 is, ``POSIX Explored:
System Interface,'' about technical aspects of IEEE 1003.1, and its relations
to other standards and historical implementations, and ``POSIX Update: Shell
and Utilities.'' They also funded production of a draft of a ``Rationale and
Notes'' appendix for IEEE 1003.1.
