- 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. These articles were originated by John S. Quarterman
- of TIC, Austin, Texas. This issue of August 1989 was researched by
- Susanne W. Smith of Windsound Consulting, Edmonds, Washington
- <sws@calvin.wa.com>.
-
- There are three related articles, posted at the same time as this one,
- and with subjects
- Calendar of UNIX-related Events
- Access to UNIX User Groups
- Access to UNIX-Related Standards
- The latter is posted only to comp.std.unix.
-
- Corrections and additions to this article are solicited. I keep track
- of the conferences, groups, and publications that I attend, am a member
- of, or subscribe to. All others (the majority of the listings) I 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 me one. This is
- a low-budget operation: I publish what I have on hand when the time
- comes (approximately monthly).
-
- Changes since last posting: /usr/group is now UniForum.
-
