MEETING INTRODUCTION

** Note: This meeting is NOT at our regular meeting location **
** Note: Meeting Schedule is a bit different (earlier), to work with the OpenSolaris Group.

** We will need you to do a DOUBLE RSVP for this meeting.
** The OpenSolaris RSVP is the one which will get you into the building, and that RSVP bypasses Unigroup and goes directly to Sun.


   SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:
   ---------------------

   We need you to perform a DOUBLE registration for this meeting - Thanks.

   To gain access to Sun Microsystems, please RSVP via the
   NYC OpenSolaris User Group Meeting Page.  Any information entered
   on that page goes directly to Sun (and Building Security) and bypasses Unigroup.

   Then also, for Unigroup, please use our normal RSVP page...

   To REGISTER for this event, please RSVP by using the
       Unigroup Registration Page.
   This will allow us to automate the registration process.
   (Registration will also add you to our mailing list.)
   Please avoid emailed RSVPs.

   Please continue to check the Unigroup web site and THIS page,
   for any last minute updates concerning this meeting.  If you
   registered for this meeting, please check your email for any last
   minute announcements as the meeting approaches.  Also make sure
   any anti-spam white-lists are updated to _ALLOW_ Unigroup traffic!
   If you block Unigroup Emails, your address will be dropped from
   our mailing list.

   Please RSVP as soon as possible, preferably at least 2-3 days
   prior to the meeting date, so we can plan the food order.
   RSVP deadline is usually the night before the meeting day.

   Note: RSVP is mandatory for this location to make sure the guard
         will let you into the building.  RSVP also helps us to
         properly plan the meeting (food, drinks, handouts,
         seating, etc.) and speed up your sign-in at the meeting.
