4. NEWSLETTER
----------
A few months ago, the publisher of New York Unix Magazine informed us that the
magazine was "going on hold." (That's why you havn't seen an issue lately).
Given this situation, we are currently discussing various ways of re-starting
a Unigroup Newsletter. The two biggest problems to overcome are:
a) Volunteers to see that it gets out
b) Content material
If you have any ideas or can help us restart our newsletter, please make them
known at our meetings and/or let us know by EMail. If you know anyone who
has experience in sending out a newsletter, we can use some good advice
(and the name of a reliable full service print shop).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope to see you all at Unigroup's January 1995 meeting...
