196.0. "Need help finding a conference" by MSDOA1::MCMULLIN () Wed Sep 21 1988 16:44

    I'm not sure where to put this, so I thought this would be a start:
    
    Is there a conference on handcrafts or needlepoint, etc?
    If so, what is the node name?
    
    Thanx,

    Well, there's ERIS::THREADS for sewing, knitting, etc., and 
    DELNI::SPINOFF for spinning and wool production.

    CQ,
    
    Thanks!!  The ERIS::THREADS may be what I'm looking for, but I was
    also talking about like stuff on how to make different things; like
    the wood cut out stuff that's become so poplar, grapevine wreaths,
    etc.  
    
    I'll check out ERIS::THREADS!!
    
    Thanks,

196.3where to find conferencesCVG::THOMPSONBasically a Happy CamperWed Sep 21 1988 17:3028
    I may have said this before but here goes again.
    
    Several places to find out about a conference.
    
    1. ANCHOR::NET$LIBRARY:EASYNOTES.LIS
    
    	This is an ASCII text file (you can PRINT, COPY, TYPE, SEARCH
    	and/or EDIT it but you *can't* read it with Notes) that is
    	updated weekly. It lists well over 1000 conferences grouped
    	by subject.
    
    2. VTX EASYNOTES
    
    	This is the VTX version of EASYNOTES.LIS.
    
    3. TLE::EASYNET_CONFERENCES (hit KP7 to add to your notebook)
    
    	This is the notes conference where conferences are announced.
    	The DIR/TITLE command is very useful here. Also topic 2.*
    	has all the announced files listed one group to a reply.

    	You can enter a new note (in EASYNET_CONFERENCES) asking about 
    	the existence of an unannounced conference but please be sure 
    	you've made a real good effort to make sure one hasn't been
	announced already. The moderator can be a real grump.

196.4Thank you very muchMSDOA1::MCMULLINWed Sep 21 1988 18:518
    Alfred,
    
    Thanks!!  I've always wondered how everyone else found out about
    all these other conferences.  I tried the "help" for notes, but
    it didn't help me where this was concerned.  Thanks to you, I'll
    (hopefully) never have to ask for a node name again!!  :-)
