- Connectathon is in July this year.
-
- For those who may not know, Cthon is the annual ONC/NFS and X Windows
- interoperability test event, where implementors of these protocols can
- see how their implementations work with others.
-
- Here's the announcement (which was distributed in December):
-
- CONNECTATHON '93
- GREAT MINDS LINK ALIKE
-
- SunSoft, Inc. today announced that the eighth annual Connectathon(TM)
- event will be held July 22-30, 1993 at the San Jose Convention and
- Cultural facilities in San Jose, California. This event enables
- hardware and software developers to test portability and
- interoperability of their technologies.
-
- Over the years, Connectathon's popularity has grown and the event has
- become *the* network proving ground where engineers come to test their
- ONC/ONC+ and X-windows technologies. This year the event has been moved
- to July and expanded to include exciting new technologies which will be
- available for testing and debugging.
-
- The event is an excellent opportunity for developers to verify that
- their software interoperates on a variety of servers, window managers
- and operating systems. Everything from laptops to supercomputers can be
- linked together under one roof, encouraging interaction among vendors,
- engineers and developers in a confidential atmosphere.
-
- For more information and/or to continue receiving Connectathon
- information, please return the attached form via email to
- 72571.1341@CompuServe.Com, or fax to Connectathon '93 at 415-388-7506.
