[Wording updated to include Dan Kegel's comment of 9/11...]

This is a proposed charter for ca.unix. Please post comments and
suggestions in ca.news.group and ca.unix. This does not currently
deal with net abuse - upcoming policy discussions will deal with that
and then the result of the discussion will be added to all the
charters.

This and previous announcements of the California UseNet Project are
also on the Web at http://www.sbay.org/ca/
  _________________________________________________________________

ca.unix is for technical discussion of Unix or Unix-like operating
systems and their use within California. Articles must be from or
related to California. Subjects appropriate for ca.unix include (or
are similar to)
  * questions and discussion among Californians about operating Unix,
  * events of interest to Unix enthusiasts in California, or
  * discussion and announcements of experimentation with Unix in
    California.
    
Jobs listings, even if for Unix and California, should not be posted
in ca.unix because there are other newsgroups better suited for them
and they are not techincal discussion. They have had the effect of
stifling discussion in ca.unix by flooding the newsgroup. Jobs for
Southern California should be posted to la.jobs (Los Angeles). Jobs
for Northern California should be posted to the most appropriate
ba.jobs.* (Bay Area) subgroup.

Technical articles related to Unix but not fitting this charter may be
better-suited to one of the newsgroups in the comp.os, comp.sys, or
comp.unix hierarchies. Check charters and/or guidelines before posting
in any newsgroup.

Newsgroups file entry:

ca.unix                 Unix technical topics in California.

Rules in common among all the ca.* newsgroups:

The ca.* newsgroups are only for discussion of subjects related to
California. They were made for residents of California and others
interested in California. They are intended for topics directly
relevant to residents of California. The default policy is that any
topic not at least partly related to California is considered
off-topic, though the specific newsgroup charters may list exceptions.
