USENIX announcement

[Rob Lembree]

Hey everyone,
	Here's an announcement for the USENIX conference starting in Boston 
this Sunday.

regards,
rob

	There's going to be a "Super-LUG" meeting at the conference on 
Thursday evening
before the Linux BoF; GNHLUG's invited to both events for free. 
Maddog's arranged for two
members of the Novell team to be speaking.  Jeff Hawkins (Vice 
President of Novell's Linux
Business Office) will be discussing Novell's strategies and plans with 
Linux, and Miguel de
Icaza will be discussing his latest project, Mono, with its goals and 
current status. There's also a free public debate on the Windows 
monoculture: see the online announcement below.

	Also, there's a PDF flier for the conference available at:
		http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix04/usenix04.pdf
	It is two pages, designed to be printed double-sided.
