[comp.org.usenix] New Zealand UNIX Conference '88

ray@dsiramd.nz (Ray Brownrigg) (01/13/88)

		New Zealand UNIX Systems User Group (NZUSUGI)
		       1988 Conference, June 9-11 1988
			  Wellington, New Zealand

			   Call for Participation

NZUSUGI is organising its 5th annual conference for UNIX systems users in
Wellington, the Harbour Capital of New Zealand. The theme of the conference
is "Computing for the 1990s", with special emphasis on targeting an audience
of Central and Local Government representatives.

Computing for the 1990s will show the Government and businesses that UNIX based
solutions are the way to go - because they offer a non-proprietary system which
is rapidly becoming a standard operating system for mini-mainframe
installations, and some PCs. The plush new Plaza International Hotel in central
Wellington has been chosen as a venue appropriate to the progressive thrust of
this conference.

Invitations are being sent to a large number of influential Government
officials, local body administrators, and senior business personnel. As at
previous NZUSUGI conferences, there will be a cast of renown international
speakers who will update participants on the latest UNIX developments
worldwide.

International speakers already arranged include Jim Clark of the Singapore
UNIX Users Association, Stuart Hooper of The Santa Cruz Operation, and Jim
Bennett of Convergent Technologies. Other likely international speakers are
Geoff Morris of the X/Open group and Bill Joy of Sun Microsystems.

Immediately preceding the conference, and also in Wellington, there is very
likely to be a workshop on workstation environments for Data Processing and
Information Processing Managers, and Systems Programmers. There is also a
possibility that some UNIX tutorials will be offered in association with the
conference.

If you wish to present a paper, acceptance of which entitles you to a free
conference registration, please contact the local speakers organiser,
Dr Dick Cooper, ADATA, PO Box 2555, Christchurch, New Zealand,
dick%cantuar@comp.vuw.ac.nz   or ...uunet!vuwcomp!cantuar!dick
Failing that, I can pass on any expressions of interest to him. Note that
from outside New Zealand and Australia, e-mail to me should use my signature
address rather than the usenet return path address (I am not sure if the
Reply-to address mechanism works).

Otherwise if you would just like to attend, please respond to me, including
a postal address for the delivery of further information as it becomes
available. Registration forms are expected to be available in February.
