[comp.org.usenix] Suggestion for future Usenixes

	Has anybody ever thought about poster sessions?  They could be set
up during the paper sessions and people could wander out and look at them.
To keep from having the poster's author chained to the poster all day, each
poster would have a sign on it telling when the author will actually be
around to talk with people about his work.  It has some of the advantages
of a dual-track meeting (i.e. if you don't like the prime attraction, you
can see something else) while not having the major problem (having to pick
between two good talks going on at the same time).  Besides, it's a good
way to get people thinking about alternate media.
