As Sydney PC Users Group OS/2 Special Interest Group Leader I am pleased
and proud to present the new-look OS/2 SIG. We have changed venues and
revamped the SIG meeting format. Meetings will still be held at 6.00 p.m. on
the third Monday of each month. November's meeting will be held on the 20th.
This month's presentation will given by IBM on VisualAge Smalltalk and C++.
A December meeting will also be held this year.
We have moved to Presentation 4, Level 10 Darling Park (the IBM Building),
201 Sussex St, Sydney from the Metcalfe Auditorium at the State Library,
Macquarie St, Sydney. A parking station is directly opposite across the street
and limited street parking is also available. For those who use public
transport such as the train, Town Hall Station is as close or closer to Darling
Park than St. James Station is to the Library. The new venue has integrated
state-of-the-art audio/visual presentation equipment installed.
The meeting format has been reorganized to place the evening's presentation(s)
and door prize raffle in the first half so that people needing to catch trains
etc. can do so without missing what many consider to be the most important
parts of the evening! The SIG leader or appointee will start and moderate the
meeting. The second half of the meeting will consist of a revamped Q&A. This
will involve a panel of OS/2 experts moderated by the SIG leader (or
appointee), and will also take advantage of the aforementioned A/V equipment.
Beginners' tutorial sessions are another new feature, and will occur in the
second half of the meeting.
The SPCUG thanks IBM for its generous support in donating the use of the
room and personnel free of charge, as well as the odd prize!
We would also like to thank Jim Cantor and Scott Atkinson for the
backbreaking work they've put in over the last 20 or so months to keep the
SIG afloat in difficult circumstances.
