Here's a list of the BOFs we know about to this date - each has a little blurb and the name, rank, and serial number of the sponsor. Happy BOFing... Work in Progress BOF =================== This is an opportunity to get up and speak for 10 minutes on your current work and, perhaps, present research results that were too recent to be included in the conference program. Individuals wishing to make a Work in Progress presentation should bring a summary of their work, including your name and presentation title, on a typed, double-spaced, single sheet of paper for display prior to the session. Or, preferably, send it via email to lab@world.std.com . Time slots will be assigned on a first come, first served basis. Lisa Bloch lab@usenix.org, lab@world.std.com +1 617 523 1664 Standards BOF ============= The standards BOF will discuss the current status of worldwide standardization activities. Events from recent standards meetings will be reported. People currently involved in standards work are actively encouraged to attend and communicate their perspective on recent events. Peter Collinson, USENIX Standards Liaison, will be in the chair, assisted by Stephe Walli, USENIX Standards Watchdog Committee Report Editor. At the time of writing, several other standards people have said they are coming. Should be fun.'' Peter Collinson usenix!uunet!hillside.co.uk!pc +44 227 761824 GNU BOF ======= We hold this BOF to discuss the current technical status of the GNU Project, to answer questions, and give Project volunteers a chance to meet face to face those they have worked with via electronic mail. Topics will be the status of the GNU Project, new features on released programs, future plans, etc. Thanx GNUs buttons are passed out to GNUers who have contributed programs and documentation and have them introduce themselves. The floor is then opened for questions and technical discussion. Leonard H.
