It's that time of the year already. In approximately 6-7 weeks away, Winter 1990 USENIX will be held in Washington DC. For those who don't have registration information, and wants it, call the USENIX office at (714) 588-8649. USENIX Technical Conference is being held at the Omni Shoreham Hotel, Washington DC, January 22nd through January 26th. Since the BOF at the Summer '89 USENIX that I hosted went very well, I decided to have one at the Winter '90 USENIX. Gil and I will be down there ... and we have a bunch of ideas we'd like to discuss during the BOF. There hopefully will be software demostrations (of some software that is being developed), as well as, other software and hardware related issues. This is a "CALL FOR PARTICIPATION" ... if you have something you want to present, discuss, or have discussed, please email me your ideas: (lenny@icus.islp.ny.us). As it gets closer and closer to USENIX, I'll formally post the actually date and time of the BOF, as well as some of the things we're going to try to cover. One other piece of business that needs to be sorted out is the availability of an UNIX pc/3B1 for demostration purposes (as well as the customary software swapping...). Alex Crain and Howard Motteler were kind enough to drag hardware to the BOF (when it was held in their home town, Baltimore). Maybe I could *impose* again on them if they are going to travel the hour away to Washington DC? If not, and someone else is going to be there and would like to offer their machine -- please contact me ASAP. We'd bring a machine, but most likely Gil and I aren't going to travel by car (since it's a six hour drive)... We will though bring other hardware (easily packed away) like a Voice Power board (necessary for some software demos), and possibly other appropriate UNIX pc hardware. Looking forward to seeing you all there!! -Lenny -- | Lenny Tropiano ICUS Software Systems [w] +1 (516) 589-7930 | | lenny@icus.islp.ny.us Telex; 154232428 ICUS [h] +1 (516) 968-8576 | | {ames,pacbell,decuac,hombre,sbcs,attctc}!icus!lenny attmail!icus!lenny | +------- ICUS Software Systems -- PO Box 1; Islip Terrace, NY 11752 -------+
