Hmmmmmm, interesting question :-)

All of the speakers are very well regarded and very knowledgeable
members of the I.T. community and I am looking forward to learning
many new thing OSI'ish, but, this one, 'Open Systems, an IBM Perspective',
gets my money. I want to hear this. I assume you're on the net Bill. Maybe
we could discuss I.B.M.'s stance on open systems. I am sure that I.B.M.
are fully behind the O.S.I. emerging standard and philosophy, but maybe
with the internal re-organisation, things get a little confused. Anyway,
I'll be in _cold_ old Canberra, all ears :-)

O.K. Here it is again for all the enthusiatic QLD Unix users ( last count
12 ). A small, local, insignificant really, Unix Users Group has been
formed. At the moment it consists of Pyramid, Mincom and Stallion :-)
The next meeting, gathering actually, will be at ;

    19:00 HRS
    17th March 1992
    Regatta Hotel
    Upstairs bar
    Coronation Drive & Sylvan Road
    Toowong
    Brisbane.

I have asked that people who intend to come, ping me on e-mail. Thank
you to the 5 that have ;-) As an old and somewhat slow witted manager,
I tend to spend an inordinate amount of time fretting about resource
allocations, capacity planning etc., so I would really like to know
if 10 people are coming, or 100 people are coming ;-) Be nice to me,
I'm old and nervous and don't like suprises ;-)

If you could give some thought into some of you preparing a chat for
the rest of us telling us about some of the wonderful things that are
happening in the industy I could collate that information and pick
on two volunteers to talk.

Beer and Bickies as usual :-)


Later :-)
Mark...
(Still trying to interface to AIX %-(
