AUUG Canberra Summer 97
To complement the AUUG National Winter Conference, a series of local
summer conferences and workshops are held in Feb-May each year,
organised by the various AUUG chapters. These conferences feature
local and national speakers on a range of subjects, and are used
to help members keep abreast of new developments in the Open Systems
arena. They are also an opportunity to try some networking of the
non-wired variety.
