This is an invitation for discussion on a new newsgroup, ont.unix-unanimous.

There presently exists a group of people, informally known as 'unix unanimous',
which spun off from /usr/group/cdn when it became obvious that there would be no
technical bent to any /u/g/c meetings. Its meetings are open to anyone, member
or not, and has grown from a handful of technically-minded /u/g/c members to a
good mix of regulars, newcomers and one-timers, many of whom wouldn't touch
/u/g/c with a ten-metre pole.

The group presently has a mailing list (submissions to unix-unanimous@moore)
which now has more than 30 members. The intent of the proposed newsgroup is to
make it less of a clique, and letting the Ontario Unix cummunity know what
we're up to. I would hope we can generate interest outside of just Toronto.

The first posting in the group (to be repeated at intervals) will describe
the group, where we meet and what we're up to.

Please mail comments to me, and I will post anything worth summarizing. If
there is no great objection, you will see a newgroup control message in
mid-Sept. Please carry it and propogate it - we can use all the interest
we can get.

Thank you.

The advantage of the incomprehensible is that it never loses its freshness.
