The Austin Common Standards Revision Group (CSRG) is a joint technical
working group established to develop and maintain the core open systems
interfaces that are the POSIX(R) 1003.1 (and former 1003.2) standards,
ISO/IEC 9945 parts 1 to 4, and the core of the Single UNIX =
Specification,
Version 3.

The current activities are maintenance of the current approved standard =
and
production of a full revision to the standard. The goal of the full =
revision
is to produce a new approved standard in 2008.
The group continues to meet regularly by teleconference to consider =
defect
reports and issues on the current approved standard, and holding face =
to
face meetings twice a year on average to review ballot comments against =
the
draft revision. See the Austin Group home page at
http://www.opengroup.org/austin/ for the events diary (a Google =
Calendar
exists to which you can subscribe).
The current plan and timeline for the project is available at
http://www.opengroup.org/austin/docs/austin_345.html


The Austin Group has been made aware of some issues and potential
incompatibilities between the POSIX standard and the future revision of
ISO/IEC 14882 (C++ Programming Language) with respect to threading =
APIs.
The Austin Group will be discussing these issues during their next =
meeting
in September 2007.


The current draft of the revision, draft 3 was made available in June
2007 and can be obtained at:
http://www.opengroup.org/austin/login.html

Further information on the Austin Group can be obtained at
