Yet Another UNIX Users Group
Yet another UNIX Users Group has been formed. It's called Uni-ops.
They're interested in UNIX, as well as C and software tools. I asked
Walter Zintz, who picked up their phone, why he felt there was need for
yet another UNIX group and he said that he felt that USENIX was
primarily university oriented and strongly oriented toward folks with
source licenses, and that /usr/group was a vendor group. He feels the
need for a group to service the binary license holder, the personal
computer user, and the person who is interested in UNIX but doesn't yet
have a UNIX system or license. (Of course, random hackers are graciously
accepted too.)
The group was announced in BYTE July '81, p. 306. Dues are $24/year.
Mastercard and Visa accepted. Their convention which was announced for
third week in October has been postponed due to holiday conflicts until
11-15 January 1982. For more details write: Uni-ops, POB 5182, Walnut
Creek CA 94596, or call (415) 933-8564.
I have nothing to do with them, so don't mail to me for more info. I
am not really sure that a need exists for their organization, but they
should at least get some press.
