Reminder: BSDCon next week in San Mateo!

This is just a friendly reminder e-mail that the BSD Conference is taking
place in San Mateo next week, and that if you're planning to attend and
haven't yet registered, you might want to.  Or, just turn up and register
at the door.

There's a really strong lineup of FreeBSD-related papers, especially
relating to new features in the 5-CURRENT development line. I've attached
a list of just some of the interesting things that will be going on there:
they include a number of tutorials relating to development and
administration, technical session presentations relating to the
development of FreeBSD, development of products using FreeBSD, and the
deployment of FreeBSD-based systems.  And, as always, there will be a
variety of invited talks, BoFs and work-in-progress sessions. 

USENIX has extended their early registration pricing, and also (I believe) 
has an online registration discount.  Multi-employee discounts are also
available for companies sending more than one employee.  You can find out
more about the location, schedule of events, etc, at: 

  http://www.usenix.org/events/bsdcon03/

I look forward to seeing you there!
