Subject: USENIX schedule
To: lou at berkeley
Lou,
Following is the tentative schedule for the Boston Conference.
It is still undergoing some flux, so this version shouldn't be taken as
gospel, but it is a fairly close guide to what will be presented. I have
mailed letters to all authors, including this schedule (actually, this morning's
version which was slightly different), as well as discussing use of slides in
preference to overhead projections, and preparation of papers for the
proceedings.
Feel free to forward this version of the schedule around the community
for posting on bulletin boards, and such.
Alan
