AUUG in  Canberra  is  holding  its  4th  annual  conference  and
workshops on Tuesday and Wednesday the 16/17th February 1993.  As
well as a selection of international and  national  speakers,  we
are  looking for presentations from local individuals and organi-
sations in any area of UNIX or Open Systems.  Presenters for half
or  full  day workshops on any subject are also welcome (workshop
presenters receive a modest stipend).

Currently our programme looks like:

    an integrated identification card system including magnetic stripe,
    barcode and photo imaging.

    XmFm, a file manager for Unix workstations that uses the Motif
    graphical user interface.

Please note that we are trying to organise  workshops  for  SVR4,
sendmail  and On-Line Transaction Processing.  If any topic is of
interest, please contact the workshops organiser and make sugges-
tions  (but  remember, we need to get presenters, titles on their
own aren't a lot of use).

The 1992 conference and workshops were attended by over 100  peo-
ple from throughout the Canberra region.  We look forward to see-
ing you at the 1993 conference and workshops.
