AUUG 2001 - Always On and Everywhere

Welcome Messages

You are cordially invited to attend AUUG'2001 - Always On and Everywhere.

The annual AUUG Conference is an excellent opportunity to focus once more on why Open Systems and Open Source are important for the future of information systems and the Internet, and to hone your skills in this area.

We have put together a very interesting array of presentations, and thanks and congratulations must go to Frank Crawford, who once again stepped in to the Programme Chair spot.  He has worked very hard to pull this programme together.

I would like to also thank all our sponsors, whose contribution enables us to stage this event.  In particular, I would like to thank the USENIX Association, who are spreading the good news about UNIX world-wide through their International Speakers Program.

I think we are in for an excellent conference, and I look forward to seeing you there.

As the Programme Chair for AUUG2001, I am pleased to present you with the programme for AUUG2001.

AUUG is a diverse organization with members from such areas as open systems and vendor supported systems, from software developers to system administrations and through to implementers, and all this is reflected in the programme.

You will see looking through this brochure how important Unix and Open Systems has been, is now and will be in the future to the world of computing.  As you will see, we have put together speakers who have been involved in this history, those who are involved in the latest and greatest developments of open source, and some of those who are planning the future for computing.  You will also find speakers from overseas (both invited and general speakers), speakers from vendors and speakers who are end users.

The tutorial programme is just as strong, with offers from beginner to advanced, for programming, administration and/or developers.

As you can see, there is something to address the needs of all areas of AUUG, and I look forward to seeing you there, to take advantage of it.

Frank Crawford
