- From: std-unix@uunet.UU.NET
-
- This is the latest in a series of similar comp.std.unix articles,
- intended to give summary information about UNIX-related publications;
- to be accurate, but not exhaustive. It's cross-posted to
- comp.org.usenix and comp.unix.questions because there might be
- interest there.
-
- There are four related articles, posted at the same time as this one,
- with subjects
- Calendar of UNIX-related Events
- Access to UNIX User Groups
- Access to UNIX-Related Networking
- Access to UNIX-Related Standards
- The latter is posted only to comp.std.unix.
- These access postings are collected and posted by Susanne W. Smith
- of Windsound Consulting <sws@calvin.wa.com> and were originated by
- John S. Quarterman of Texas Internet Consulting <jsq@tic.com>.
- The information in them comes from a wide variety of sources.
- We encourage others to reuse this information, but we ask for proper
- acknowledgment, for example by including this statement.
-
- Corrections and additions to this article are solicited. We keep track
- of the conferences, groups, and publications that we attend, are members
- of, or subscribe to. All others (the majority of the listings) we derive
- either from listings elsewhere, or from contributions by readers.
- In particular, the meeting schedules and descriptions of most of the
- groups are provided by their members. If a group doesn't have a
- meeting schedule listed, it's because nobody has sent one. This is
- a low-budget operation: we publish what is on hand when the time
- comes (approximately bi-monthly).
