Welcome to the home page of the Australian UNIX Users' Group (AUUG), South Australian Chapter. AUUG is a national organisation with the aim of promoting knowledge and understanding of Open Systems including but not restricted to the UNIX system, networking, graphics, user interfaces and programming and development environments, and related standards.
The South Australian chapter aims at promoting the use of Unix operating systems for industry and personal use. Unlike some organisations, the chapter aims to do this in a fun but informative method
The South Australian chapter runs monthly meetings which include a presentation covering a subject of general interest to the UNIX community. The presentations are varied and cover areas such as industry developments, research news, and new technology.
The meetings also provide an opportunity for members of the industry to catch up and keep in touch with each other on a regular basis. The meetings are quite informal, providing a great environment for people to discuss issues, swap stories or gain advice from the other members of the chapter. Refreshments are provided free of charge.
For more information on the benefits available you should consult the AUUG homepage and the list of benefits provided.
The monthly meetings are usually held:On the Second Wednesday of every month, starting at 7:00pm
at:Marcellina Pizza Bar
