I have been thinking about this for some time and reached the
conclusion we need 2 organisations. How many people out there
would support the formation of a small orgaisation for members
interested in UNIX (not open systems) and more specifically
technical aspects of UNIX or perhaps technical aspects of computing
in general. I wonder how many members we would need to make
such an orgaisation viable?? I guess at least 100, probably more.

Maybe we should call it "Australian Technical Computing Group".
Or should UNIX be in the title??

If enough people are interested then lets do it. Otherwise,
lets stop bitching about AUUG since its really just trying to
represent the majority of its members.

If you think we need a new organisation (and I think we might)
then post your ideas and lets see if we can get something started.

If no-one is interested, then forget I mentioned it.
