This is the latest in a series of similar mod.std.unix articles.  The
information previously posted in one article has been broken into two:
one about user groups and publications (this one), the other about standards.


Access information is given in this article for the following:
user groups:	USENIX, /usr/group, EUUG, AUUG
newsletters:	;login:, CommUNIXations, EUUG, AUUGN
magazines:	UNIX REVIEW, UNIX/WORLD


USENIX is "The Professional and Technical UNIX(R) Association."

	USENIX Association
	P.O. Box 7
	El Cerrito, CA 94530
	415-528-8649
	{ucbvax,decvax}!usenix!office

USENIX sponsors two USENIX Conferences a year, featuring technical papers.
The next one is in Washington, D.C., 20-23 January 1987.
They publish ";login:  The USENIX Association Newsletter"
which is sent free of charge to all their members.


/usr/group is "the commercially oriented UNIX system users organization."

	/usr/group
	4655 Old Ironsides Drive, Suite 200
	Santa Clara, California 95054
	408-986-8840

They publish a newsletter called CommUNIXations.

The annual Uniforum Conferences are sponsored by /usr/group
and feature a large trade show.  The next one is in D.C.
at the same time as the next USENIX Conference.  USENIX
and /usr/group have held several concurrent conferences
in the past and will probably do so in the future.


Both USENIX and /usr/group also have tutorials at their
conferences and both sponsor other meeting activities
in addition to their regular conferences.


EUUG is the European UNIX systems Users Group.

	EUUG secretariat
	Owles Hall
	Buntingford
	Herts SG9 9PL
	England
	seismo!mcvax!euug

They have a newsletter and hold two conferences a year.  The next one is

			   EUUG Autumn 1986 Workshop
				      on
			   Distributed UNIX Systems

			      Manchester, England
			   22nd-25th September, 1986


AUUG is the Australian UNIX systems users Group.

	AUUG
	P.O. Box 366
	Kensington
	N.S.W.	2033
	Australia

	seismo!munnari!auug
	auug@munnari.oz.au

Phone contact can occasionally be made at +61 3 344 5225

AUUG holds biennial conferences, usually of 2 days each:
the next one will probably be in late February 1986.
They publish a newsletter (AUUGN) at a frequency defined
to be every 2 months.


There are similar groups in other parts of the world, such as Japan and
Korea.  If such a group wishes to be included in later versions of this
access list, they should please send me information.
