- Barbara Beeton provided the raw data on which this page is based. Please send notes
on corrections or omissions to webmaster@tug.org.
- Although a Finance Committee is mentioned in Treasurer's reports as early
as May 1981, the members are not identified until 1982.
- It is not clear that Site Coordinators were automatically members of the
Steering Committee until the 1983 Bylaws were adopted.
