BuzzNUG Special Interest Groups
-------------------------------
*BuzzNUG*, your favorite National NeXT User's Group is pleased to announce
(posthoc) that in addition to the *NeXT Medical SIG*, our first formed special
interest group, we have started *NeXT-Hardcore* co-run by keith edwards
and ian smith of Ga Tech. For information to get on their mailing list,
please write ian@warhol.gatech.edu or keith@escher.gatech.edu. We
are still trying to find coordinators for *NeXT-Music SIG*,
*NeXT-DesktopPublishing SIG* and *NeXT-Courseware SIG*.
Are you interested in creating and coordinating your own SIG?
-------------------------------------------------------------
As a SIG coordinator we are asking that you 1. maintain and coordinate the
mailing lists per SIG. 2. Coordinate your regular SIG column in the
NeXT Users' Journal - detailing the most interesting things to happen
in correspondence that month, getting SIG-specific-topic articles written
for your column, etc.
All SIG coordinators will be put in touch with each other once things
settle down and will be able to consult among themselves for helps,
hints and strategies for running effective SIGs.
Who to Contact
--------------
Conrad Geiger has GRACIOUSLY volunteered to help coordinate setting up
these special interest groups. If you want to start a group, please
contact him at conrad_geiger@next.com and, if you would, cc me in on
it. Right now, I am forwarding all SIG mailed directly to me to
him for him to handle. Bryce, in particular, please contact Conrad
directly and he'll get you started - ok?
Keep in touch as always & take care y'all - Erica

First off, Ian Smith is the primary person running the SIG. His email address is iansmith@warhol.gatech.edu (*not* ian@warhol.gatech.edu). Questions about the SIG should be addressed to hardcore-request@warhol.gatech.edu; hardcore@warhol.gatech.edu is the actual mailing list itself (i.e., this sends to the people on the mailing list). So what is NeXT Hardcore? We're trying to aim for somewhat technical interests related to Unix and Mach-specifics. We hope to have a (semi-regular or better) column in Buzzings about doing NeXT development involving some level of Unix or Mach systems programming. Examples include network programming using sockets or ports, Mach RPCs, distributed computing, etc. (we tend to be of sort of a network-bent here, but we're not limiting ourselves to that). Donations of material gratefully accepted.
