Smith) Lines: 363 Approved: jsq@longway.tic.com (Moderator, John S. Quarterman) From: sws@calvin.wa.com (Susanne W. Smith) This is the latest in a series of similar comp.std.unix articles, intended to give summary information about UNIX-related publications; to be accurate, but not exhaustive. It's cross-posted to comp.org.usenix and comp.unix.questions because there might be interest there. There are three related articles, posted at the same time as this one, with subjects Calendar of UNIX-related Events Access to UNIX User Groups Access to UNIX-Related Standards The latter is posted only to comp.std.unix. These access postings are collected and posted by Susanne W. Smith of Windsound Consulting and were originated by John S. Quarterman of Texas Internet Consulting . The information in them comes from a wide variety of sources. We encourage others to reuse this information, but we ask for proper acknowledgment, for example by including this statement. Corrections and additions to this article are solicited. We keep track of the conferences, groups, and publications that we attend, are members of, or subscribe to. All others (the majority of the listings) we derive either from listings elsewhere, or from contributions by readers. In particular, the meeting schedules and descriptions of most of the groups are provided by their members. If a group doesn't have a meeting schedule listed, it's because nobody has sent one. This is a low-budget operation: we publish what is on hand when the time comes (approximately bi-monthly).
