As you may be aware I will be finishing my term as Editor following the AUUG89 Conference issue in August this year. The Committee has chosen David Purdue of Labtam Limited to take over as Editor from Volume 10 Number 5. David is already actively involved in the User Group. This includes running the Nutshell Handbook Offer and handling the AUUGN backissues. He has also designed a new front cover which appears on this issue. As you can see he has many talents and I am sure he will add a new dimension to the Newsletter. I wish him every success and urge the membership to support him. In this Issue there are several informative articles. These include a SunIII starters guide and an introduction to the internet (tcp/ip) protocols which was sent over the net. Mike Karel’s "Future Berkeley UNIX developments" slides from his talk given at AUUG88. These have been held over due to various technical difficulties. Regulars such as "Off the Net" and reprints from the USENIX Newsletter also appear. Thanks to should be given to Robert Elz for getting the gremlins (the drawing program) out of the Karel slides :-) REMEMBER, if the mailing label that comes with this issue is highlighted, it is time to renew your AUUG membership.

AUUGN 5 Vol 10 No 1 President’s Letter Well, here I am writing this letter in sunny California (except it is raining and about 12 degrees Celcius). Life is certainly busy at the moment, although I’m sure you don’t need to hear that. Just down the road is Ken McDonnell, past holder of this position, but unlike Ken I am just visiting. The good news is that he will be returning to Australia, too. My sermon today regards doing one’s duty, or lack thereof (lack of doing it, I mean). I was just about to set pen to paper and write a president’s letter for the last AUUGN when it arrived. I failed to learn from this experience - I should have written it anyway, then I wouldn’t be doing it at the last moment, again. However, one of the primary duties of the AUUG executives, as a whole is to improve the benefits and response to the members, and this is certainly progressing quite well. AUUG Inc has a Convergent Technologies Miniframe, and Informix to run on it, and shortly will be able to process membership requests faster, and even to acknowledge them. (Note: The above resources are courtesy of Sigma Data and Informix, respectively. Many thanks to them). However, it must be remembered that the committee members are all masochists, I mean volunteers, who also need to hold down jobs to eat. They all do their best, and can use all the help you can give. Speaking of which, it is nearly time for nominations for the new committee. All members should start thinking about how much better they can do the job, and be prepared to put in nomination forms. Now for something completely different, organisation for the round of Summer regional meetings was proceeding nicely, until the speaker we had invited pulled out unexpectedly. We’ll keep you posted. Yours faithfully, Greg Rose, President, A.U.U.G. Vol 10 No 1 6 AUUGN Secretary’s Letter Firstly, some explanation of the absence of information about the planned informal, technical, summer meetings is in order. A schedule of meetings in seven centres around the country was set for the the period 17th to 24th February, 1989. Local arrangements were well under way in some centres, less so in others. Unfortunately the speaker that we had arranged to import was forced by a change in cir- cumstances to withdraw at the last moment. Since the event had been designed around the one speaker this presented somewhat of a problem. A frantic effort to find a replacement at very short notice was unsuccessful. At its meeting on 3rd February, 1989 the Management Committee resolved to give local organisers the option of postponing or going ahead according to schedule with a local programme sup- plemented by an interstate speaker provided by AUUG. All organisers elected to postpone. We hope that at least a few of these meetings will still actually occur, with AUUG funding one or two speakers from interstate at each meeting. On a brighter note, preparations for AUUG89, the 1989 AUUG Conference and Exhibition, are going well. The exhibition space and sponsorships are already heavily booked. If your company is interested in exhibiting its wares or sponsoring an event it should contact ACMS by phone on (02) 332 4622 or fax on (02) 332 4066 immediately. Peter Barnes of the University of Queensland ([email protected]) is Chairing the Programme Committee. A Call for Papers will be issued shortly but don’t wait for it before you begin planning your paper. AUUG will be investing more heavily in publicity this year and, with the venue in Sydney, this year’s Conference and Exhibition should set new records for attendance.
