1. About NeXus
NeXus is a non-profit organization to facilitate collaboration among
members and to collect and exchange NeXT and NeXT related information.
The main topics we cover are:
- Easy-to-use, superior human interface
- Integrated network environment for interpersonal computing
- Graphical and multimedia applications
- Advanced object-oriented programming environment.
Our mother ship is a NeXT computer (NeXT station and cube). We,
however, do not restrict our activities to NeXT. Other advanced
high-tech computers are also of interest. We are the first NeXT user
group in Japan and Asia. One of our principal interests is using
Japanese on the NeXT computer. We have local activities in mainly the
Tokyo area and our meetings are open to the public. We place our
newsletters on worldwide ftp sites to distribute them freely. NeXus is
not affiliated with any company. Enthusiastic volunteers support
NeXus. We welcome your contributions.
NeXus Activities:
Meetings:
Monthly meetings are held on the 4th Wednesday of each month starting
from 7:00 p.m. The meetings are open to the public. The guest fee is
1,000 Yen, including the latest NeXus Memo.
Newsletter:
We publish a monthly NeXus Memo and quarterly Newsletter. NeXus Memo
is distributed at every monthly meeting. You can also ftp NeXus Memo
from ETL (etlport.etl.go.jp 192.31.197.99) or SRA (srawgw@sra.co.jp
133.137.4.3). The third issue of NeXus Quarterly is due in July.
Special Interest Groups:
We have several SIGs: Japanese, Mathematica, Graphical Human
Interface, Mach OS, Programming, Object-oriented Programming,
Networking, and others. If you are interested in any of these, please
contact the executive staff.
Software Library:
We have a publicly distributable software library on MO disks and a
Video library.
Networks:
Currently we run mailing-list (NeXus-mail@sra125.sra.co.jp) on JUNET.
We are talking on a NeXT news group of JUNET named 'fj.sys.next' and
'FCSALON' forum of NIFTY-Serve.
Other Activities:
We contact and exchange information with overseas user groups, contact
with NeXT Computer Inc., Canon group (distributor in Japan), and other
third party developers. We are planning to have seminars and
symposiums.
