1.11 What are chapters?

     Groups of AUUG members can form "chapters" which organise events and
     activities for AUUG members.  These chapters may receive funding from
     AUUG to conduct events and activities.  Regional chapters are funded by
     AUUG based on membership numbers.  There are regional chapters in all
     major cities around Australia and AUUG members nominate a chapter when
     they join. This chapter receives a proportion of the membership fee for
     use in local activities.  Other types of chapters (perhaps with a
     special interest in a particular technology activity) can also be
     formed.  These chapters receive funding from AUUG on an "as needed"
     basis by application to the Management Committee.

     Chapters are run by a chapter committee which is responsible to AUUG
     (through the Management Committee) for the running and finances of the
     chapter.  More details on the Chapter Rules and Chapter Policy are
     available from the member handbook or the AUUG Secretary.


1.12 What is a Corporate Sponsor?

     A limited number of long term supporters of AUUG are eligible to join

     commitment to UNIX and Open Systems in Australia through their
     association with AUUG as Corporate Sponsors.  In return for an annual
     donation of $5,000 to AUUG's ongoing promotion of Open Systems,
     Corporate Sponsors receive:

          complimentary access to the AUUG mailing list;

          prominent listing on all AUUG literature;

          public acknowledgement by AUUG;

          an attractive wall plaque for prominent display in their office.

     Corporate Sponsors also receive all the benefits and rights of an AUUG
     Institutional Member, including:

          two nominated representatives to receive full membership benefits

          a nominated representative to exercise AUUG member rights for voting

2    MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS

2.1  What do I get for my membership?

     AUUG membership provides you with

        AUUGN - AUUG's regular technical newsletter.  See details above.

        Discounted right to use AARNet for mail - see details below.

        Discounted access to Email and News services - TMX, Dial-IX and
        connect.com.au provide electronic mail and news access to all the
        major networks.  They all provide substantial discounts to AUUG
        members.  Contact the AUUG Secretariat for details.

        Reciprocal Membership Rights with International Affiliates (e.g.
        Usenix, UniForum)  - see details below.

        Discounts on products and services - AUUG has negotiated discounts at
        selected book stores and service suppliers (e.g. Prentice Hall,
        Softway).  Details are available from the AUUG Secretariat or the
        AUUG Members Handbook.

        Discounted education - AUUG members have access to technical training
        organisations like Softway at discounted rates.  Contact the AUUG
        Secretariat for details.

        AUUG Annual Conference and Exhibition - AUUG members get discounted
        registration fees to Australia's premier Open Systems Conference and
        the largest Exhibition of UNIX and Open Systems equipment in
        Australia.  See details below.

        AUUG Summer Conferences and Tutorials - AUUG members get discounted
        registration fees to local summer conferences (see below).  Tutorials
        on a wide range of UNIX and Open systems topics are often held in
        conjunction with the summer conferences.  AUUG members receive
        discounted registration fees to these tutorials.

        Local technical meetings - AUUG local chapters hold regular local
        meetings with featured speakers and /or panels on a wide range of
        topics. These meetings vary from chapter to chapter, so you should
        contact the local chapter for more details.


2.2  How do I get a discount on AARNet through AUUG?

     AARNet accepts Mail Affiliates from the general public for a minimum of
     $1000 per annum.  AUUG offers its machine-owning members (thus usually
     corporate members) the same service for $250 per annum.  Non-members can
     still profit from the AUUG deal but pay $600 per annum.  As AUUG
     corporate membership costs $350 per annum, you can see why we have only
     one or two non-members involved.

     The Mail Affiliate service provides low volume users the right to use
     AARNet to carry mail traffic.  This service gives you registration of
     your host/domain addresses in the Internet nameserver tables.  It does
     NOT provide or cover the cost of any kind of connection to the Internet
     or any other host. In other words, you approach AUUG after you are
     connected to get the rights to transport your mail traffic across
     AARNet.  This will provide you with an MX record which gets your name
     "switched on" in the Internet world.  If you would like a registration
     form, please contact the AUUG Secretariat (see contact details above).

     To get help you get connected AUUG conducts a survey which assists
     people requiring network connections to find people who are willing to
     accept new connections.  Contact the AUUG Secretariat for details.


2.3  What do the reciprocal membership rights give me?

     AUUG is affiliated with Usenix, UniForum, X/Open, and EurOpen.  These
     organisations provide AUUG members with access to some of their member
     benefits.  In general this provides AUUG members with member prices on
     publications and member discounts at events.  The exact details will
     vary with the organisation, consult the AUUG member handbook for
     details.

4    HISTORY

4.1  What does AUUG stand for?

     AUUG was originally formed as the "Australian Unix-systems Users Group",
     hence the abbreviation "AUUG".   Officially AUUG is now known as "AUUG
     Inc.".  The group is formally incorporated in the state of Victoria as
     "AUUG Inc."  (registered number A0016636N).


4.2  How did AUUG get started?

     AUUG was founded in 1974 by Professor John Lions from the University of
     New South Wales.  It began life as an informal gathering of computer
     people interested in the "new" operating system UNIX developed by AT&T
     Bell Labs.  By 1984 the interest had gathered enough momentum that it
     reached across Australia.

     AUUG adopted a constitution on 27th of August 1984 and was formally
     incorporated on the 26th of August 1988.


(*) UNIX is a registered trademark of UNIX System Laboratories Inc.
