Just from skimming titles I see about two dozen talks of at least some interest to me in the ATC program. And that's just ATC; I'm planning to attend the Hot* workshops on Monday and Tuesday as well. Of course I won't attend every one of those talks--some coincide in time, some I'll miss because I get stuck in the hallway track. And some will prove less interesting in practice, though others that don't seem all that interesting in the program will likely prove much better in person. I've been attending USENIX ATC for decades, and although some conferences have been meatier than others, I've never ended up feeling the trip was a waste of time. Perhaps us old farts just aren't as discriminating as you youngsters. That said, I think Kevin's question Is there a way to participate [on the UNIX50 event] without attending Usenix ATC? is a good one. Norman Wilson Toronto ON
