 Peter Chubb of Softway has offered to host a Bird of Feather session on:
 Emacs: the only true open system?  Or just a waste of resources?
 
 It's open:
 	Comes with full source code (the way Unix used to:-)
 	Interoperates on a wide variety of Operating systems
 		(including Dos, OS/2, AmigaDos, VAX-VMS, etc)
 	Can edit files anywhere one can use FTP (using ange-ftp)
 	Is extensible (using the Lisp interpreter built in to Emacs)
 
 I estimate my productivity is increased by a factor of 10 by using Emacs.
 I can enter code, documentation, etc; run compilations; preview typeset 
 material, do database queries on our bugs database, send and read mail and 
 news, and interact with either RCS or SCCS, from any machine on our network 
 without leaving Emacs.  Not to mention playing games! 
 
 What are you using Emacs for?  Do you want to tell people how your
 productivity is enhanced?  Or learn from others?  Then come to the Emacs 
 users' BOF session!  
 
 Check AUUG Registration Desk for time and room.

 AUUG Conference Dinner, 10 September 1992
 Guest Speaker: Campbell McComas, B.A. (Hons), LL.B.
 
 A lawyer turned comic speachmaker, Campbell is in the thirteenth
 professional year of a career unique in Australia and rere in the world.  
 Since hoaxing an audience of Monash University academics and students in 
 1976 by impersonating a famous Cambridge law professor, he has created over 
 1100 original characters (representing thirteen nationalities) for state 
 occasions, conventions and dinners throughout Australia and overseas.
 
 Phillip Adams has commented: "He's so good that, in the event of the
 Second Coming, I think the Vatican should check the Saviour's fingerprints, 
just in case".
 
 More than 50 of Campbell's characters have been related to the computing
 and information technology sector, including many for user groups.  His
 address as himself -- "Lies, Damned Lies and My Entire  Career" -- promises 
 to be a social highlight of our conference, offering a fascinating insight 
 into the man behind the masks...  whoever he is!
