The answer is no.  However, we know it makes sense, and are in
the process of developing the ACM Network Services (ACM-NS).  The forms you
mention, among others, will be available via anonymous ftp (and other
mechanisms) in the near future.  If you have misplaced your reports, contact
Judy Granat (granat@acm.org or granat@acmvm.bitnet).

I *beleive* Judy Granat will accept completed Activity Reports through email.

Subject: September Meeting Announcement

The September Meeting of DCSIGAda will be held on WEDNESDAY, September 16.
Details are as follows:

Refreshments:	7:00 pm
Meeting:	7:30 pm
Location:	McLean Hilton
		7920 Jones Branch Road
Topic:		Ada 9X and OOP
Speaker:	Brad Balfour

A discussion on how Object Oriented Programming issues are addressed in Ada 9X

Ada 9X is the ongoing effort to revise the Ada language. Currently,
the Ada 9X program is now in the revision phase, having completed the mapping
of requirements to language solutions. Of the three major additional features
being added to Ada (OOP, Hierarchical program libraries, Protected types)
certainly OOP is one of the most requested.

This talk will describe how OOP is being implemented in Ada 9X. Specific new
Ada 9X terminology will be introduced and related to basic OOP concepts. Small
examples will be used to illustrate the concepts. One complete example using
Ada 9X OOP will be presented.

The emphasis in the talk will be on the way OOP concepts are treated in Ada
9X. Basic familiarity with OOP concepts is assumed, however, no familiarity
with Ada 9X or its specific features is assumed. This talk is an abbreviated
version of a half-day tutorial by Mark Gerhard and Brad Balfour which was
originally presented at Ada Europe '92. Due to the limited timeframe, not
all of the topics originally addressed in the tutorial will be addressed in
this talk.

Brad Balfour is a systems consultant with SofTech, Inc. in Alexandria. He is
currently working in support of DISA/CIM's DoD Software Reuse Initative. On
that project, he is working on a variety of technical and non-technical reuse
issues including legal and acquisition issues and training. Previously he was
heavily involved in both training and consulting in the areas of Object
Oriented Development, Ada, Reuse and Testing. Brad was one of the three
authors of the GRACE components, a library of 275 reusable Ada components.
Currently he is the vice-chair of DC SIGAda and will be the program chair for
WAdaS '92.

The September issue is the one with an article beginning on page 32,
where the title of the article is so over decorated you find yourself
looking back at the table of contents in the hope you can find out the
name of the article.

However, it is true that most of the articles do not suffer from this
excessive zeal in the art department, and September is indeed a substantial
step back toward sanity.

From:         "James A. Schaefer" <FACSCHAEFER@RIC.EDU>
Subject:      Membership E-mail Addresses

Request for Comments:

Position:  I believe it's time (and long overdue) for the ACM to design
           a membership application that includes space(s) for e-mail
           addresses.

This is an area where the ACM can actually lead since few professional
organizations that I'm affiliated with collect this information for
their members.  The IEEE Computer Society does not.  The American
Mathematical Society (AMS) and the Society for Industrial and Applied
Mathematics (SIAM) do, but the Mathematics Association of America (MAA)
does not.

Last year, I made the MAA aware of the fact that the Combined Membership
List of the AMS, SIAM, and MAA contained the e-mail addresses of members
only if they belonged to AMS or SIAM.  The MAA had received some e-mail
addresses (including mine), but there was no place in format of the tape
sent to AMS to include this information.  They are aware of this deficiency,
and promised to remedy it, but to date there is no space on the appliation
to encourage members to supply these addresses.

This may be a membership editor's nightmare, but isn't this why we have
computers!  BITNET addresses are generally no longer than 8 characters,
and Internet addresses can be written in numeric form, aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd,
instead of characters to put an upper bound on field size.  From my
limited experience, I don't know if uucp addresses have an upper bound!!

If we want to encourage communication among professionals belonging to the
ACM, in particular, and all professionals in general, then the ACM should
be collecting this information and making it available via a name server
or a membership list (combined with IEEE CS?).

Positive and constructive comments invited.   Thank you.

Hold on a mo !  Which issue are we talking about ?
Your latest issue isn't necessarily the same as my latest issue.
The August 1992 issue ( 35(8) ) is not yet a thing of beauty.
The layout on p.20 is breathtakingly bad; p.64 is not really any better,
while p.124 is plain ugly.

Can I live in the hope that September will bring a revelation ?

I couldn't agree with you more that it is important to request member e-mail
addresses. Let me tell what is planned regarding e-mail addresses: ACM will
be developing a member demographic database and one of the components will
be the member's e-mail address. Around the beginning of the calendar year we
will begin collecting demographic data, including e-mail addresses, so
you will be seeing space provided for e-mail addresses shortly.

It's beginning to look like e-mail is the favored way of getting in touch
with our Member Services Department.

Uh-uh. My nearest "local" user's group is 125 miles from here. That's about a 4
hour or more round trip. Of course, they meet in the evenings. I haven't been to
one in probably close to a year, good intentions notwithstanding. It's just
difficult to do. If they decide to clean up their mailing list, I'll certainly
be off it. 

I do occasionally make it to symposia, and I like to think that managing VMSnet
is a contribution. That makes me a member and consumer, If I'm understanding the
distinction properly. I'm sure I'm not the only person distant from a LUG (or
distant from a LUG that addresses areas of interest for that person, not all
LUGS cover all topics, I hear). LUG activity isn't a requirement to be involved
(i.e. a "member) of DECUS.

I don't personally have a problem with paying, I think my company would spring
for it. As far as paying to vote, as long as the elections basically are a
crapshoot, who would? I don't see voting as a major enticement to get people to
pay. I'm also not real sure people would pay for DECUScope. With the newsletters
gone, what else can you charge money for? If you are going to ask for money, you
are going to have to offer a tangible benefit that will make sense to the bean
counters, or _many_ people will have trouble paying for it, no matter how low
the cost, or how great the intangible benefits.

If this is just to make up a revenue shortfall, it'd probably be better to raise
prices on existing services. That's at least honest. If it is to generate new
revenue, what would that revenue be used for, and why can't those activities
generate revenue another way? If this is just to trim the mailing list, I think
it's a poor way to do it. An audit of some sort would be better. If the last
audit wasn't satisfactory (I'm guessing, since it wasn't used), that doesn't
invalidate the whole approach.
