Subject: Free Registration to Annual Linux Conference: November 5-10,
     2001 (60479)

Dear USENIX members and past conference attendees:

We know that many of you may be reluctant to travel because of the
recent turn in world events and the economic downturn.   To encourage
your attendance at ALS '01, USENIX and the Atlanta Linux Showcase,
Inc. are now offering FREE technical session registrations to those
wishing to attend.

The 5th Annual Linux Showcase and Conference
November 5-10, 2001
Oakland Marriott City Center - Oakland, California
http://www.linuxshowcase.org

We are making this extraordinary offer because we believe the
networking opportunities and high-caliber technical content at ALS
'01 provide an important service to the general open source community
and to our membership.

This year's ALS program features invited talks by:
- Thomas Sterling, CalTech & NASA JPL on Petaflops Computing with Linux
- Don Becker, Scyld Computing, Inc. on Home Beowulf Systems
- Tony Iams, D.H. Brown Associates on A competitive assessment of
Linux in the Enterprise
- Helen Greiner, i-Robot on the state of Robotic Today
  - Don Marti, on Embedded Linux Success Stories

The invited talks track also reflects several political issues
currently facing the open source community such as DMCA, SSSCA,
copyrights, and software patents. These are important issues which we
feel should not be put off for discussion at a later time.

In addition to the above, ALS '01 also provides practical,
professional-level education through over 12 TUTORIALS (which will
charge a fee) including:
-Inside the Linux Kernel
-Exploring the Potential of LDAP
-Configuring and Administering Samba Servers
-Linux Systems Administration
-Unix/Linux Network Administration
-Building and Using a Personal Beowulf

We also offer workshops on: KDE Applications, GTK+/GNOME Development
and XFree86

CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS
Thursday, November 8
Join USENIX as we celebrate the 10th Birthday Party for Linux!  The
reception will be followed by the famous Linux BOF with Linus
Torvalds, Jon "maddog" Hall, Ted Ts'o, Bryan Andregg, and a few
hundred  of your peers.

The Open Source Development Lab (OSDL) is hosting a hothouse.
OSDL's new Scalable Test Platform (STP) will be open to developers
for testing kernel patches on OSDL's 1-way to 16-way servers. Members
of the lab's expert staff will be on hand to discuss datacenter Linux
requirements such as scaling, clustering and hardening.  Bring your
patches to see if they can take the heat of some serious testing!

With exceptional content, speakers and tutorials, ALS '01 remains the
only truly technical conference for the open source community,
providing an important forum for discussion, both political and
technical - - and  bringing the community together to have some fun!

We look forward to seeing you in Oakland next month.
