Sorry the following is a bit delayed - I've been traveling a bit lately,
and haven't had much time to tend to NativeNet responsibilities.
The following is the text of an announcement I received from Louise
Campbell, Projects Officer, Informatics Applications, Communications
Research Centre, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada (613-998-2280), who is working
on a "computer coding for native language syllabics project," of which
she also sent me a description.
I'm typing in the basics of the announcement quickly, as I'm pressed
for time. Please forgive any typos. I've moved a few pieces of in-
formation to the front to make them more prominent, and I've had to
leave a number of items off, due to the shortness of time (such as
additional contact names, and a description of the sponsoring organi-
zation).
If anyone attends, perhaps you could let others know how it went
(send to "nn.lang@gnosys.svle.ma.us").

American Language Issues (23-25 September, 1991, Prince George, B.C.)

States (including Hawaii and Alaska), and New Zealand have already
committed to attend this special conference.
