For those of you who are responsible for UNIX/linux systems, this 
conference might interest you. I've attended various USENIX 
conferences in the past and they can be quite useful. This year's 
conference is at the Marriott Copley Place.

The debate between Dan Geer (MIT SB 1972 EECS) and Scott Charney 
(from Microsoft, no MIT degrees) should be quite interesting. It's on 
Wednesday June 30 at 3:30pm and is open to the public (no conference 
registration required).

If you have specific questions about the conference, please contact 
Peter Mui <pmui at usenix.org>
