-
- Since I posted a note on comp.std.unix about the Standards BOF in Anaheim,
- I've gotten some requests as to what else is scheduled in Anaheim, and a
- request to crosspost to comp.org.usenix.
-
- So, this message is crossposted to comp.org.usenix and comp.std.unix.
- Details of the technical conference program and the tutorial schedule
- have been posted to comp.org.usenix very recently, so please look there
- for them; I trust someone (Lisa? Judy?) will soon post a BOF list.
-
- Ah, yes: a BOF is a Birds of a Feather meeting, i.e., an informal
- gathering outside of the formal technical agenda, traditionally for
- two hours in the evening. Experience has shown that the Standards
- BOF works best immediately after the reception, so that's when this
- one is scheduled. The only related competition seems to be from
- OSF, who cleverly scheduled their BOF at the same time.
-
- Here is the text of my original posting again:
-
- There will be a Standards BOF at the Summer USENIX Conference in Anaheim,
- California, on Wednesday, 13 June, from 8-10PM. This is immediately
- after the main conference reception.
-
- All are invited. Someone will write a snitch report on the BOF for
- posting in this newsgroup.
-
- The title is
- UNIX-Related Standards
-
- The presenters are
- John S. Quarterman, USENIX Standards Liaison
- Jeffrey S. Haemer, USENIX Watchdog Report Editor
-
- The topic is
- Recent developments in UNIX-Related Standards, such as
- IEEE 1003.[01][0-9], IEEE 1201, ISO/IEC JTC1 SC22 WG15,
- NIST FIPS, SIGMA, X3J11, and the UniForum Technical Committees.
- What USENIX has been doing about them, what we plan on doing,
- and what you want us to do.
