[comp.org.usrgroup] Announcing: The Connection Machine Regional Users Group

curtiss@umiacs.umd.edu (Phil J. Curtiss) (07/06/90)

Announcing:

                   The Connection Machine Regional Users Group
                                     (CMRUG)

	The Connection Machine Regional Users Group serving the Washington
D.C.  and Metropolitan areas is now forming.  We hope to provide to the CM
user base in our area a forum that is conducive to discussion of various
parallel processing issues related to the Connection Machine.  Regular
meetings will be scheduled that will give the users, staffs and vendors the
opportunity to meet and talk to one another as well as listen to talks given
be their peers.

	Currently we are trying to get together a steering committee that
will guide the users group's formation and continue to shape its future
activities. If any of you would like to be involved with the steering
committee please send mail to this effect to,

		cmrug-request@umiacs.umd.edu.

	There is also a mailing list associated with the users group used
to inform the user base about users group activities such as talks and
meetings and should also be a place for open discussion of ideas related to
the Connection Machine and parallel processing issues. If any of you would
like to be on this mailing list please send mail to this effect to,

		cmrug-request@umiacs.umd.edu.

	I do hope the users group proves to be beneficial for the user base,
systems staffs and the various vendors. If any of you have any ideas as to
topics you would like discussed or other activities you think the users
group should be involved with please send mail to,

		cmrug-steering@umiacs.umd.edu.

Thank you and Tah.
					Phil!

There is also an affiliate of UniForum (formerly /usr/group, the organization 
that this newsgroup relates to) in the D.C. area.  You might want to
compare notes with them, or actually merge groups.  

I am posting from home, so I don't have contact information at hand.  You
can, however, contact Van Weathers at the UniForum offices for more info on
the UniForum affiliate group.  Call 408-986-8840, FAX 408-986-1645, or
email to uunet!usrgrp!van if you are interested.
