Date:       Friday 1 November 1996

 and we may be able to pospone it or at least schedule another 
 meeting early in 1997.)

Place:      VISAC (in Physics bld) The University of
            Queensland.
Time:       From 10:00 AM Until we finish.

Intro
-----
It all started with Wilfred at UQ and Joe at QUT deciding to
have relevant staff met one day and spend about 2 hours
talking about LSF, ShareII and other aspects of running and
using a POWER CHALLENGE.

However in the absence of a National SGI HPC users group we
decided to open up "our" meeting to anybody else who wants to
attend.  Perhaps at this meeting we can discuss the
possibility of setting up an official SGI HPC users group?

This first meeting will mainly be system managers and site
managers talking to each other.  If this thing gets off the
ground then future meetings could incorporate an actual users
component.

Please RSVP to Joe or Wilfred at following addresses:-

          wilfred@cc.uq.edu.au
          j.young@qut.edu.au
