[UFO Chicago] [Fwd: Mention USENIX'05 at UFO Chicago Tonight?]

[Brian Sobolak]

Hola -

I didn't get a chance to mention this at tonight's meeting, but I did 
get this email from Usenix Headquarters encouraging you to go.  I 
certainly would have mentioned this at the meeting had I seen this in 
time, but alas I did not.

Forward to whomever you feel appropriate - it's worth getting the word out.

Hi Brian:

I hope this email gets to you in time...

USENIX is having its Annual Technical Conference (USENIX'05) in
Anaheim, California April 10-15.  (Please see the online text below.)
Can you help us get the word out to your members and in the area in
general? For example: is it appropriate to mention at the meeting?

If you can use them, there are gif banners and a .pdf flyer for the
conference at http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix05/promote.html

(Are there other people that I should contact?  Please let me know.)

Many thanks for any assistance, -Peter
