Hello Everyone, greetings from Rotterdam, The Netherlands... I just cleaning up a large amount of INBOX activity for the week. I got this e-mail last Thursday. I remember talking to this guy at the SoCal Linux Expo, but somehow I thought USENIX was a lot farther away...
Well, in case anyone is interested, it is in Anaheim April 10-15. I know that I'll be out of town that week, otherwise I'd be up for going to some of the sessions... cheers... -- David Kaiser <[email protected]> ---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: Early bird registration ends Monday for USENIX'05 in Anaheim April 10-15 From: "Peter Mui" <[email protected]> Date: Thu, March 17, 2005 8:19 am To: undisclosed-recipients:; -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi: We met at the USENIX booth at SCALE: USENIX is having its Annual Technical Conference (USENIX'05) in Anaheim, California April 10-15, and the early bird registration deadline is Monday (March 21). Even if you don't register for the actual conference, the evening BoF events are free and open to the public: for example, we're working closely with a bunch of user groups in LA and Orange County to have a "Super User Group" BoF with members of many user groups coming together. Please see the complete conference text below, and the BoF schedule at http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix05/bofs.html ** Can you help us get the word out to anyone else who might be interested? If you can use them, there are gif banners and a .pdf flyer for the conference at http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix05/promote.html. Feel free to contact me anytime with questions. Or let me know if I'm being harrassing.
