AUUG 2002 ("Measure, Monitor, Control") - Conference Update
Greetings one and all. My name is Adrian Close and I'll be your Programme
Chair for this year's Winter Conference, to be held in Melbourne from the
1st - 6th of September. It's only March as I write, but already significant
effort has been invested in bringing you a conference of the traditional
calibre. Of course, I have a hard-working committee to back me up and
that's just to organise speakers.
We're working hard to bring you a solid programme this year and we've made
great progress thus far. Still, we definitely have room for more speakers
and tutorial presenters, so if you've got something you'd like to talk about,
I encourage you to have a look at the Call for Papers
(http://www.auug.org.au/winter/auug2002/cfp.html) and get in touch with
the Programme Committee ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
We are seriously looking at the possibility of running a Student Day, the idea
being to provide information of interest and relevance to students, in an
inexpensive fashion. We envisage an expose on the inner workings of the IT
industry and something of a student survival guide for those interested in
joining the insanity, together with a sample of the strange clue attractor
that is AUUG. The committee welcomes suggestions for this (and indeed any
other) part of the programme.
As always, a successful conference needs sponsors. At this stage we'd like
to acknowledge the kind support of IBM and Checkpoint. Of course, we
welcome the possibility of other sponsors, so if your company would like to
help out, please see http://www.auug.org.au/winter/auug2002/sponsor.html.
Finally, if you're interested in attending the conference this year, the
logistics people would be especially grateful if you could register your
interest via the link on the conference web site.
When: 1st - 6th September 2002 (3 days tutorials + 3 days conference)
Location: Duxton Hotel, 328 Flinders St, Melbourne, Australia
Web: http://www.auug.org.au/winter/auug2002/
Next important date: 10th May - Tutorial/Paper abstracts due.
I'm looking forward to a great conference!

Programme Chair, AUUG 2002
