Please do not confuse the Sun Corporate folks who mail our 
quantities of Marketing literature and brass plaques and 
registration forms with the Sun User Group.  In fact, that 
tendency towards confusion was a significant reason for moving 
off Sun's property into offices of our own.

The Sun User Group now has a principal office in Brookline,
MA, and a Conference Office in Mountain View, CA.

We care about the membership and about the local User Groups.
We do not care if you register or have a plaque.  The next 
issue of README (the quarterly newsletter of SUG), has a cleaned 
up list of what we know about user groups around the world.  If 
you are running a Sun/SPARC user group and think it worthwhile 
to have information available to others, please let Lisa Bloch 
(lab@sug.org) know, and we'll revise what we're printing.

SUG runs meetings twice a year: a technical conference --
next one June 17-19 in Atlanta -- and an Annual Conference 
and Exhibit -- next one December 8-11 in San Jose; it 
publishes README quarterly; it publishes proceedings of 
its conferences; it has put out distributable software 
tapes in the past and will issue a CD-ROM in about three 
weeks.  SUG also produces toys, occasionally, in the past 
there have been screwdrivers, mugs, t-shirts.

If you're not a member and you use Sun or SPARC hardware 
or software, you ought to be...

Peter H. Salus
Executive Director
