5. NEWSLETTER
----------
Unigroup's printed newsletter is sent out to people on our U.S. Mail mailing
list. The newsletter contains information such as meeting announcements,
technical and non-technical articles and recent UNIX security advisories.
Ross Ziskind is the editor of the Unigroup newsletter. Keep an eye out for
the next issue.
To keep the newsletter going, 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 contribute to 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 always use some good
advice. Ross can be reached via email to editor@unigroup.org.

I hope to see you all at Unigroup's June 1996 meeting...
