Members will grep each other by the hand (after into), yacc a lot, smoke filtered chroots in pipes, chown with forks, use the wc (unless uuclean), fseek nice zombie processes, strip, and sleep, but not, we hope, od. Three days will be devoted to discussions of the ramifications of whodo. Two seconds have been alloted for a complete rundown of all user-friendly features of Unix. Seminars include "Everything You Know is Wrong," led by Tom Kempson, "Batman or Cat:MAN?" led by Ritchie Dennis, "cc C? Si! Si!" led by Kerwin Bernighan, and "Document Unix? Are you Kidding?" led by Jan Yeats. (Send all flames to /dev/bh, I didn't write it!) (What is /dev/bh you ask? The Black Hole device of course! Just link /dev/bh to /dev/null and write an interesting manual page for it.)
