[ont.events] Unix Unanimous, Sept 27: The Future of Unix

evan@telly.on.ca (Evan Leibovitch) (09/26/89)

The next meeting of Unix Unanimous will take place Wednesday, September
27 at 6:45pm, in the Gold Room of the North York Memorial Community Hall.

Our speaker is Henry Spencer from the University of Toronto, discussing
future developments in Unix. This will *not* deal with the politics of OSF,
AT&T, etc., but rather with the technical developments affecting the
operating environments we now know collectively as Unix.

The North York Memorial Community Hall is located on the bottom floor of
the new North York Main Library building, located next to North York
City Hall at the corner of Yonge Street and Park Home Avenue, about half
way between Sheppard and Finch.

by subway: Take the Yonge line to the new North York Centre station.
Take the exit to the North York Civic Centre and that'll take you into
the library/office/hotel building. Walk down the long corridor - you're
on the same floor as the Memorial Hall. Just before the turnoff to City
Hall you'll find the short hallway to the Memorial Hall on your left. (I
did see some signage. Honest!)

by car: The North York Civic Centre is less than a mile north of hwy401
at Yonge. There are parking meters (not patrolled after 6pm) on the east
side of Yonge and on Beecroft (parallel to Yonge and behind the Centre).
Greg also says he knows of a no-charge parking lot in the evenings. You
can also try the small lot below the Board of Education Bldg. Note that
many side streets are no parking, but there should be plenty of spaces
around.

(This is a bit late for tonight's meeting, but may be of interest for
future ones.)  Apparently the library can validate parking for the first
hour, which may be of some help to people driving.  Otherwise there is
reported to be a serious dearth of free parking in the area.
