Meeting format
The meetings are informal. We usually invite visitors and any firms in attendance to briefly introduce themselves. A short business meeting
ensues. Then we break for pizza, so you need not eat before coming. The high point of the evening is, of course, the Program. Occasionally, we
have tutorial sessions, which are excellent, and are without charge. If you would like to present the Program or conduct a seminar, please
contact the Program Chairman.
We do not limit ourselves to any one flavor or UNIX or a particular vendor. Our programs cover a wide variety of topics. These range from general marketing trends all the way to highly technical language presentations.
Other Information
- Group regularly draws 80 - 110 to meetings.
- Meetings and seminar open to all, without charge or reservation.
- Group has been meeting since 1981.
