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. ---------------------------------------------+ + Park Home Avenue +------------------------------------------+ + B | +-----------------------------+ | Y | NORTH e | | Library/Hotel/Office | | o | YORK e | | X | | n | CIVIC c | +----+ +---\-------------------------+ | g | CENTRE r | |City| \ | e | o | |Hall| Memorial Community Hall | | f | | | (bottom floor) | | /|\ t | | | | | | | +----+ | | | | +-----------------------------+ | | North | | Board of Education | | | | +-----------------------------+ | | +------------------------------------------+ | 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. -- Evan Leibovitch, SA, Telly Online, located in beautiful Brampton, Ontario evan@telly.on.ca / uunet!attcan!telly!evan / Director & editor, /usr/group/cdn She was looking for a vacation, and he was the last resort.

(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. -- "Where is D.D.
