I've been told by a lot of people who have attended these, that they
are quite worthwhile. I've always had something come up at the last
minute preventing me from going the USENIX Conferences. What I would
like to know is how I go about getting the literature and registering
for the USENIX coming up this June 12-16th to be held in the Hyatt Regency
in Maryland. I would like start planning for this as soon as it becomes
feasible to do so. I've never pursued going to one of these, how much
does it cost? Do I specifically have to be part of the USENIX Association?
Much like being a member of /usr/group and the Uniforum shows. How much
does it cost to belong to USENIX?
Basically, in short, who can tell me about going to these things? :-)
Please E-MAIL, I'm sure everyone doesn't need to know about it!
Thanks,
Lenny
