Soviet association of Unix users and its first conference
On the initiative of a number of scientific-research and industrial-commercial organizations, including the IPI of the Academy of Sciences, the IPK of the Academy of Sciences USSR, INEUM, MTsNTI, Interkvadro, Antareks, and others, the Soviet Association for Unix users (SUUG) was formed in 1990. The association was officially registered on September 7, 1990. The association is a nonprofit volunteer organization whose members support the following goals: interchange of information among users of Unix-like operating systems by means of regular publications and other means, sponsorship of annual conferences, organization of networks, etc.; cooperation in the use of Unix-like operating systems in the USSR and recommendations for their development; maintenance of communications with interested foreign national and international organizations, exchange of information with them, and propagation of this information to the members of the association. The association does not intend to limit its interest to problems concerned with using specific operating systems. The ultimate goal is to construct an infrastructure for research and development in all areas of computer science. SUUG has been accepted as a member of EurOpen (the new name for EUUG, the European Association for Unix Users), which, after admitting the Spanish and Soviet associations, has 20 national associations from European countries as members. For members of SUUG, this means that now they are full members of the European community of developers and users of portable open systems.
