1.3Welcome to the new home of AtariST!YNOTME::WALLACEThu Jul 18 1991 15:457
I hope no one got lost in the move.

For those who may be interested, this system (OLDTMR::) is an 8550 with
112 meg of memory. The disk this file is on currently has a giga byte of free
space on it, so there is room for lots of new notes.

Subject:  A message to employee interest notes file users

           A MESSAGE TO EMPLOYEE INTEREST NOTES FILE USERS
    
    
    Over the last few months I have received a number of complaints 
    from employees, and individuals outside of the company about 
    material communicated in electronic mail systems and posted in 
    various employee interest notes files.  After reading some of this 
    material it is clear that a reminder about appropriate comment and 
    behavior in these systems is necessary.
    
    First, and most critically; the electronic mail systems and notes 
    files are company facilities subject to normal workplace rules of 
    conduct.   As such, the same rules that govern conduct and comment 
    in any other Digital workplace apply with equal weight in these 
    systems.  Stated simply, if you wouldn't say something in a 
    Digital business meeting, you shouldn't say it in electronic mail 
    or notes. PERIOD.  
    
    Statements that attribute improper, illegal or immoral motives or 
    actions to others; statements that cast aspersions on the 
    character or integrity of others or that amount to libel or 
    slander are not permitted. PERIOD.  In this regard, it does not 
    matter whether the individuals subject to the comment are elected 
    public officials or directors of organizations disfavored by the 
    author.   There is no "Public Figure" exception in these systems.
    
    Comments of a sexual nature are not acceptable whether they are 
    about the author or directed at others.  Similarly, comments that 
    degrade, devalue or discriminate against others are also 
    prohibited.
    
    Neither the notes conferences nor electronic mail should be used 
    to solicit other employees.  This prohibition covers efforts to 
    solicit employees for personal or political gain, to sell or 
    market goods or services (except authorized marketplace or 
    discount conferences) and efforts to solicit employees to take 
    action, sign petitions or support particular causes or candidates.
    
    Finally, employees should remember that it is never appropriate to 
    spend working time in employee interest notes for non-work 
    purposes.  Personal or entertainment activities in these notes 
    files should be limited to assigned break times, lunch time and 
    before or after business hours.  
    
    Employee interest notes files and conferences provide an 
    electronic forum to share ideas and opinions about matters of 
    common interest.  In supporting these conferences, the company 
    understood that there would be occasions where employees would 
    disagree on issues being discussed, but we believed and continue 
    to believe it is possible to disagree without being disagreeable.  
    Personnel Policy 6.54, Proper Use of Digital Computers, Systems 
    and Networks provides further information about appropriate 
    conduct and comment in these systems.  Employees who fail to meet 
    these expectations, or who use company computer systems in ways 
    that are contrary to the letter or spirit of that policy are 
    subject to Corrective Action and Discipline up to and including 
    the termination of their employment.
    
    The moderators of these conferences, along with your system 
    managers, personnel representatives and the Personnel Policy 
    Manager are all available to answer any question you might have 
    about appropriate use of these systems.
    
    Please feel free to forward this memo to other Digital notes 
    files and conferences.
1.5Conference NODE name changed to MSBCS::MSBCS::WALLACE_RWed Feb 16 1994 15:2810
From now on this notes conference (ATARIST) should be accessed as
MSBCS::ATARIST and NOT as OLDTMR::ATARIST. OLDTMR was part of the MSBCS
cluster but will be dissappearing in about two weeks.

To make this change you should issue the following notes command
(ie: at the "Notes> " prompt) -

	MODIFY ENTRY atarist /FILE=msbcs::atarist

    Ray (the moderator)
1.6Conference node name will change in NovemberMSBCS::WALLACE_RThu Oct 20 1994 17:3610
This notes conference (ATARIST) will be moving from MSBCS: to PERFOM:: in
the middle of November. I plan on posting another notice when I have a date,
but I thought I'd post this note incase I forget.

When the time comes, you can make the change by issuing the following notes
command (ie: at the "Notes> " prompt) -

	MODIFY ENTRY atarist /FILE=perfom::atarist
