The Australian Unix & Open Systems Users Group has been working on its conference and exhibition for quite some time now and it looks as if the programme is really shaping up: the festivities, set for September 27 to 30 at the Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre in Darling Harbour, is attracting a bunch of our jet-setting colleagues including X/Open Co Ltd’s Geoff Morris, the Open Software Foundation’s Dave Tory, Unix papa Ken Thompson, Silicon Graphics Inc’s John Mashey and Berkeley Software Design Inc’s Rob Kolstad; regional Roger Hicks of the University of Auckland will preside over a session entitled, The Unix Wars over…Let the Posix War Begin, and Common Open Software Environment folk are to host a panel to bring everyone up to date.
