- This periodic posting serves as an introduction to newsgroup
- comp.os.research. A set of companion postings, the Frequently
- Answered Questions for comp.os.research, summarises some of the past
- discussions in the group.
-
- Comp.os.research is a moderated Usenet newsgroup created to foster the
- discussion of and exchange of information on topics in the field of
- operating systems research. The moderator is Darrell Long
- <darrell@cse.ucsc.edu> of the University of California at Santa
- Cruz. The maintainer of the FAQ is Bryan O'Sullivan
- <bos@serpentine.com>.
-
- As far as moderation policy is concerned, the following two principles
- are applied to each article submitted for posting: is it interesting?
- is it related to research?
-
- Job announcements will be posted if they are related to operating
- systems research; blatantly commercial postings are not acceptable.
-
- Calls for papers for most conferences and journals related to OS
- research will be posted. This is fairly broadly interpreted, since OS
- research is a large field.
-
- Smart alec comments are generally filed unceremoniously in /dev/null.
-
- Finally, discussions are cut off when the signal-to-noise ratio falls
- below a certain (fairly subjective) level. Please consider setting
- the Followup-To: line whenever discussion drifts away from operating
- systems research.
-
- This posting, like much of Usenet, is maintained on a purely volunteer
- basis. It is subject to comment and improvement by sending email to
- <os-faq@cse.ucsc.edu>.
-
- Please note that there is a discaimer and copyright notice at the end
- of Part 2 of the FAQ.
