- The Open Software Foundation presents 1990 Technical Seminar Series
-
- The Open Software Foundation invites you to participate
- in our 1990 Technical Seminar Series, in-depth seminars on the
- OSF/1 operating system and the OSF/Motif graphical user
- interface. By taking advantage of these seminars, you
- can stay abreast of new and emerging technology being developed by
- OSF.
-
- Whether you are a programmer, an independent software
- vendor, or a strategic planner, these seminars
- will help you increase your knowledge of the
- open computing environment of the future.
-
- The Open Software Foundation has made a major impact
- on the open computing market since it was founded by eight major
- computer vendors in May 1988. First with
- the introduction of the award-winning OSF/Motif graphical user
- interface, and now with the availability of snapshots--source
- code and documentation for the OSF/1 operating system--
- OSF helped shape the open systems environment for the 1990's.
-
- OSF's 1990 Technical Seminar Series is devided into two tracks.
- Track one provides a close look at the components of the
- OSF/1 operating system. Integrating several advanced operating
- system technologies, the OSF/1 offering is based on
- the Mach kernel from Carnegie Mellon University. It provides
- capability for symmetric multiprocessing and
- for achieving a B1 level of security. The Track One
- program provides an overview of the architecture and
- features of the OSF/1 operating system, including its
- compatibility with other UNIX-based systems as
- well as special functions and benefits provided by
- new technology.
-
- Track Two covers the components of the OSF/Motif graphical user
- interface and their behavior, and describes how to program OSF/Motif
- applications using the OSF/Motif Toolkit and
- User Interface Language. Instructors will
- cover individual components of the OSF/Motif
- graphical user interface in detail.
-
- At the site of each seminar, OSF will also set up a demonstration area
- where you can see OSF/1 and OSF/Motif implementatioans
- running on various hardware platforms.
