I would like to propose to make a sys-call-track developers' conference

why developers conference? i think if you intend to present
lex/yacc/(flex/bison)? it should be interesting maybe for a wider range of
people.
i'd like to second that. i don't think syscalltrack needs a 'specially
crafted' lex/yacc demonstration (besides, some of us are already quite
familiar with lex and yacc - we don't need it to be 'sold' to us, and
neither do we need or want perl to be 'sold' to us).
I'm not trying to sell them. I want to have a meeting where I can finally
get some questions about SCT answered face to face, and we discuss it. I
suggested that I teach Lex and Yacc, using Perl as a tool to teach them,
to fill some of the time and do something useful with myself. And it's a
demo not a lecture.
I'm not going to fill a two hour lecture explaining a technical tool such
as Lex and Yacc. O'Reilly can fill a book about those two, but I have more
exciting things to do. I just see it as an absurd thing that the SCT
configurator is still not written using Lex and Yacc and that those tools
can make it so much simpler and easier to understand.
as for something for Haifux itself - it might have a point. you just need
to check first how many people already know lex and yacc usage in C, due
to the mandatory 'compilation theory' CS course - it might be not
that easy finding a common background for the possible audiance, but its
do-able.
Like I said, I'm not so interested in Lex and Yacc to present a lecture on
them. I'm just trying to evanglize for our pet project. Let me know if
it's needed and if people wish to hear about it.
