[comp.protocols.nfs] ONC/NFS Vendors' Conference 1989 Information

beepy%commuter@Sun.COM (Brian Pawlowski) (08/18/89)

Below is the information on the upcoming ONC/NFS Vendors' Group
Meeting to be held in September. This material went out to a large
mailing from a variety of mailing lists we've captured. If we missed you,
or you are a new ONC developer, drop me an e-mail. We have a pretty
strong vendor community and this is one of two events held each
year where everyone gets together to discuss trends in the ONC/NFS world.
(The other event is the Connectathon NFS+ interoperability testing).

This was originally a three page mailing.
