I've just received the conference announcement for the AUUG winter
conference...
and was appalled!

No preliminary program, so I can't decide whether I want to go or not
on the basis of people I know will be there (because they're
presenting papers, or would be attracted to the kind of conference
this is going to be).

The three keynote speakers mentioned are suit-and-tie types from the
business/commercial arenas (at least, that's the impression I get from
the ad).  As a matter of interest, are there any invited speakers for the
Technical stream? 

The mailout states that AUUG '92 is `Australia's premiere UNIX and
Open Systems Conference and Exhibition'.

I couldn't understand how a tenth conference could be any kind of
premiere.. So I looked up that word `premiere'... 
	1.  It isn't an adjective
	2.  A premiere is the first public performance of a film, play
	opera, etc, OR the leading lady in a theatre company.  Neither
	of these fits the AUUG conference.


The pamphlet says to register now to save $50 or more -- but gives no
details.  

The whole thing is rather poorly presented, with obvious jaggies on
the figures and text -- probably not produced using troff.

All I can say really, is yuk!  This brochure, if a sample of what to
expect at AUUG, gives me no incentive whatever to attend the AUUG
conference in 1992 -- poor presentation, poor communication, poor
content.

I expect that the conference itself will be more worthwhile.
