The DECUS UNIX Special Interest Group has been named the 'UNISIG' for quite a while now. (In both the US, in Europe and in several European national chapters.) I have been quite happy with this name, but recent events (the latest being the ACE announcement) has gotten me to wonder if it might not be wise to change the name of the SIG to the 'Open Systems SIG' (= OSS ?) How do you all feel about this? --- Bjorn.Larsen@usit.uio.no "Specialization is for insects" Norwegian UNISIG chairman, European UNISIG CC member University Centre for Information Technology - Lazarus Long University of Oslo, Norway

I assume you are opening this up for discussion on the net and not via e-mail, so I am posting. Anyway, it'll be a kick to see some UNIX stuff in this newsgroup for once (eh Kurt? Peter?). :-) I think for historical reasons it should remain UNISIG. Also, it has been my observation that as soon as one changes the name of something like that to "Open something", the "VMS folks" (not to polarize ourselves here... some of my best friends, and all that) move in. There are still many issues that are UNIX-only and will remain so in my opinion for years to come. I mean, once "Open VMS" is a reality, do we expect the VAX (sic) SIG to merge with the Open Systems SIG (OSS)? (Actually, Iguess they'd really have to disband and join the UNISIG...say, this is sounding interesting... Fred
