USENIX conferences

[mark at umcp-cs.UUCP]

In academic computer science, we have a trick for recovering the
good old days of small conferences.  It is to have "workshops",
the price of admisssion to which is (among other things) a position
paper on the subject of the workshop.  This tends to weed out the
mere observers/non-contributers.  We could do this for a usenix
conference, somehow, perhaps.

Without something like this small conferences are hopeless.
