Quarterman) From: std-unix@uunet.UU.NET 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, and 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. Corrections and additions to this article are solicited. I keep track of the conferences, groups, and publications that I attend, am a member of, or subscribe to. All others (the majority of the listings) I 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 me one. This is a low-budget operation: I publish what I have on hand when the time comes (approximately monthly). Changes since last posting: The FourGen UNIX Journal, root (InfoPro Systems).
