About Micronet
Micronet's Charter
Micronet is a voluntary professional organization for employees of the University of California, Berkeley campus who:
- Are responsible for managing microcomputer systems used as independent computers, or integrated into LANs and other networks;
- Write or support microcomputer software;
- Provide technical assistance or training to microcomputer users.
The term "microcomputer" is intended to encompass the terms "personal computer," "microcomputer," and "workstation" without distinction.
In recent years, the formal charter above has informally and unofficially expanded. It now encompasses campus employees who have any involvement in or interests related to support for computing services at the University of California, Berkeley.
You can join Micronet simply by subscribing to its electronic mailing list.
Micronet's Activities
Micronet is dedicated to the free exchange of information, resources, ideas, and tools via electronic mail, publications, and people-to-people networks. The group holds monthly meetings on computing-related topics and sponsors an active, public electronic mailing list.
Micronet's People
To date, Micronet has operated on the contributions of time, skill, and materials by its volunteer members. These include its volunteer coordinators, who typically serve terms of one to two years. Micronet's coordinators plan meetings, arrange for speakers, and serve as moderators at the group's meetings and events.
As of June 2007, the group's 522 members represent a sizeable fraction of the campus's many departments and units.
Micronet's History
Micronet was founded in October 1989, and the group's public electronic mailing list began in December 1992.
