  I thought I read a different email saying that there will be a track 
  about the 50th anniversary. But cannot find any details or reference to 
  it now.

  Does anyone have information about Unix 50th celebration(s)?

  Is it time for paper submissions? ...

====

If you mean for the 2019 USENIX Annual Technical Conference,
the CFP is

https://www.usenix.org/conference/atc19/call-for-papers

The submission deadline is about three weeks away, on
2019-01-10.

I see nothing explicit about a UNIX 50th celebration, alas.

At least one program-committee member is on this list; perhaps
more information will appear.  Or there's a contact address
for the program co-chairs on the web page cited above.

Thanks. That’s partly right - the track is a room usenix is providing but they are not sponsoring a larger party. We are taking submissions  and have been for a bit.   But we are working the living computer history folks in Seattle and are trying to do something larger at their site during one night of ATC.  


  I’m not near a real computer for abit.   I’ll send a more detailed message hopefully tomorrow I have better connectivity.   Clem

Sent from my PDP-7 Running UNIX V0 expect things to be almost but not quite.

I do not want to say too much yet ---  but I am making progress.  As people
have determined on this list, there are some real financial realities.
Warren asked me a question -- I answered it.  There is nothing (yet)
official.  But some things have occurred in the last few days that are
encouraging.  I will keep you all posted as it progresses.

What you can do it to say to bod@usenix.org you would like to see it
happen, particularly if you are a member of the organization (feel free to
CC me).   They need to hear that it is worthwhile and something they should
spend some effort and money doing.
