However, unless I am mistaken, it totally ignores the "User Interface 1 & 2" talks. Here it is for those of you who havent seen the original article yet. Proposed Four Day Conference Schedule (George Rosenburg) t1 x _| t2 std, valid, port_| x t3 UNIX DIREC _| t4 x _|_ t5 s.t.u.g. presentations t6 ___ w1 OPENING w2 ___ w3 PROG TOOLS |_ (bof 1) w4 _|_ x h1 UNIX IMPLEM |_ applic h2 |_ (applic) h3 |_ x h4 _|_ (bof 2) f1 COMP & LANG |_ net f2 _|_ mail f3 (systems) _| x f4 x | However, this can be remedied by adding them to the Tuesday sessions where there are already 2 slots open. (Well, actually there are 3 slots, but I am aiming for a usenix with few concurrent sessions.) Given that you want to keep the two sessions together you can shuffle the proposed sessions for Tuesday to keep them back to back. Given that I have done that, it seems to me that I might as well put the OPENING as the first thing on Tuesday, so we can open with the OPENING. I am also going to put the Open Session on Applications back opposite the Open session on systems, since otherwise poor Ian Darwin who is chairing the Open Session on Applications wont get to see the Unix Implementation Talks. Ok? Here it is. I cant really take credit for it, since George Rosenburg has done the hard part, but how about the: Joint Creighton/Rosenburg Usenix Proposal t1 OPENING t2 ___ t3 UNIX DIRECTIONS _| t4 std, valid, port_| t5 s.t.u.g. presentations /* this is at 1900; there is lots of */ t6 ___ /* time to eat dinner */ w1 user interface |_ x w2 _|_ x w3 PROG TOOLS |_ (bof 1) w4 _|_ x h1 UNIX IMPLEM |_ x h2 |_ x h3 |_ x h4 _|_ (bof 2) f1 COMP & LANG |_ net f2 _|_ mail f3 systems _| applic f4 (systems) _| (applic) Actually, the Birds of a Feather Groups, since they are going to have to know who they are anyway, can schedule meetings opposite whatever they feel convienient, so the "(bof)" slots can be viewed as merely an attempt to show when the "bof" sessions *could* be held. I invite comment or criticism, again in the hope of it having an influence on the actual proceedings. Laura Creighton utzoo!utcsstat!laura
