Press coverage leading up to the AUUG2003 conference

[Gordon Hubbard]

Interest in "Open Standards, Open Source, Open Computing" is very high!

AUUG has received some significant press coverage of late following our
recent press releases re OPEN SOURCE PREFERENCE LAWS
http://www.auug.org.au/publications/press/ossPref.html and the AUUG 2003
CONFERENCE http://www.auug.org.au/publications/press/auug2003.html

Below I have appended links to AUUG related press articles you may find
interesting.

I look forward to seeing you at the conference next week!
