                       GENERAL MEETING

     EFF-Austin is holding a General Meeting in "The Orange
Room" at the Government and Technology Conference. TRACEY LA
QUEY PARKER, author of the best selling, _The Internet
Companion_, will speak. EFF-Austin members are then free to
wander through the dealer's hall, which features computer and
telecommunications exhibits and demonstrations by the
nation's leading technology companies on such applications as
GIS, electronic democracy, law enforcement, and virtual
reality. Admission to the GTC costs $15 for the public, but
this fee is wavied for members who pre-register. Contact Jon
Lebkowsky (jonl@tic.com) if you are interested.

               CAN'T MAKE THE GENERAL MEETING?

Then consider the CYBERDAWG at High Times Bar and Brain Gym.
This is an unstructured *human* networking sessions where
members of the Austin electronic community meet to mix,
mingle, and exchange information. A diverse range of computer
users attend, ranging from the GONZO (writers, artists, and
musicians) to the WIREHEAD (sysops, hackers, sysadmins,
programmers, and technicians) to the POLITICO (cyber-
libertarians, government officials, and lawyers) and really
to ANYONE interested in exploring the social and legal
implications of computing and telecommunications. Phil
Newton, the owner of High Times, has promised a 10% discount
on any purchases by EFF-Austin members during the Cyberdawg.

                      WHO IS EFF-AUSTIN?

     EFF-Austin is a local organization promoting discussion
of the educational, social, and civil libertarian issues in
cyberspace. In addition to Cyberdawgs and General Meetings we
also sponsor Public Forums. Recent examples include a speech
and book signing by Bruce Sterling for _The Hacker Crackdown_
and a Sysop Liability Workshop, in which Austin sysops
participated in panel discussions and a Q&A session with
noted lawyers from around the country. A new addition is the
"EFF-Austin Invites You to Meet" series, in which national
figures such as Emmanual Goldstein, editor of _2600_, are
made available to meet the Austin community. Many exciting
events are planned for the future.
