This is the second call for discussion on creating a newsgroup for the
Boston Computer Society. The name of the group was tentitively to be
comp.org.bcs, but the name is up in the air so the group will not be
confused with the British Computer Society. The group will be
unmoderated, and will serve as a focal point for the BCS to
communicate with computer users world wide.
The BCS has interest groups for most PCs (both current and orphan) and
many other special interest groups covering topics like ham radio to
database to email. It would be a place for meeting notices, meeting
transcripts, minutes of important committee meetings and on line
newsletters to be sent and shared with all interested. In February, if
the group gets created, we will possibly be able to take on line
membership info ... There are many other interesting things, like live
meetings on line that can be done on internet and discussed in this
group. If you are interested and would like to support this effort,
please post your comments to news.groups with a copy to:
BPorter@world.std.com
Thanks!
