Here is the original meeting notice and agenda with links to session recaps where available.
Join us for our Fall anniversary meeting on October 25, 1996 from 8:00 to 5:00. MVMRUG members have been caring and sharing for more than a decade.
Perrysburg is located on the southeast edge of Toledo. A block of rooms has been reserved for Thursday night. We have negotiated a special rate of eighty-three dollars. To reserve a room at this special rate call (419) 874-3111 by September 24.
We have a really exciting agenda lined up. OV/VM is one of the most popular applications in the VM world, and Web serving is undoubtedly the most exciting new application that has entered the VM arena. This meeting promises to cover both of these topics as IBM gives us an update on VM/ESA and OV/VM and Beyond Software and Sterling Software present technical discussions about using VM as a web server then demonstrate their web server software. Here's a great chance to compare these two products side by side.
