FEBRUARY 2013



2012 ended with a bang here at USENIX. LISA ’12, which took place December 9-14, 2012, in San Diego, CA, included a Keynote Address from Vint Cerf, training on some of the hottest technologies in the sysadmin and devops arenas, and several opportunities to network with peers and influencers during the evening receptions, BoFs, and Poster Session. View the videos and audio here<http://s.usenix.org/acton/ct/2452/s-0046-1302/Bct/l-sf-rpt-00OG0000004BQUc-01f9/l-sf-rpt-00OG0000004BQUc-01f9:2d5c/ct31_0/1>, and check out our Google+ page <http://s.usenix.org/acton/ct/2452/s-0046-1302/Bct/l-sf-rpt-00OG0000004BQUc-01f9/l-sf-rpt-00OG0000004BQUc-01f9:2d5c/ct32_0/1> for some of the pictures. FAST ’13<http://s.usenix.org/acton/ct/2452/s-0046-1302/Bct/l-sf-rpt-00OG0000004BQUc-01f9/l-sf-rpt-00OG0000004BQUc-01f9:2d5c/ct22_0/1> is this week, and we’re looking forward to hearing Kai Li’s Keynote Address about Data Domain as well as over 25 paper presentations on the latest in file and storage technologies.

In response to your feedback, we’ve begun to offer video “box sets” for each conference: a USB drive filled with high-resolution videos from the technical talks. The LISA ’12 box sets<http://s.usenix.org/acton/ct/2452/s-0046-1302/Bct/l-sf-rpt-00OG0000004BQUc-01f9/l-sf-rpt-00OG0000004BQUc-01f9:2d5c/ct33_0/1> are now shipping, and the FAST ’13 box sets<http://s.usenix.org/acton/ct/2452/s-0046-1302/Bct/l-sf-rpt-00OG0000004BQUc-01f9/l-sf-rpt-00OG0000004BQUc-01f9:2d5c/ct34_0/1> will be ready in late February.

Whether you’re looking to present a paper or figuring out which conferences you’d like to attend this year, please take a few moments and check out our open Calls for Papers below and our conferences Web page<http://s.usenix.org/acton/ct/2452/s-0046-1302/Bct/l-sf-rpt-00OG0000004BQUc-01f9/l-sf-rpt-00OG0000004BQUc-01f9:2d5c/ct35_0/1>. Here’s to a great (and busy) 2013!

COMMUNITY:
USENIX Members Support Open Access

Open access to scholarly papers continues to be a hot topic, as it should be. In April 2012, USENIX Community Manager Rikki Endsley wrote about the USENIX open access policy<http://s.usenix.org/acton/ct/2452/s-0046-1302/Bct/l-sf-rpt-00OG0000004BQUc-01f9/l-sf-rpt-00OG0000004BQUc-01f9:2d5c/ct54_0/1>. Since 2008, USENIX papers<http://s.usenix.org/acton/ct/2452/s-0046-1302/Bct/l-sf-rpt-00OG0000004BQUc-01f9/l-sf-rpt-00OG0000004BQUc-01f9:2d5c/ct55_0/1> have been freely available and USENIX authors retain their copyright. Whereas other organizations are moving toward policies that require authors or institutions to pay a fee to make their papers open access, USENIX memberships support open access for everyone to USENIX papers and conference videos of paper presentations<http://s.usenix.org/acton/ct/2452/s-0046-1302/Bct/l-sf-rpt-00OG0000004BQUc-01f9/l-sf-rpt-00OG0000004BQUc-01f9:2d5c/ct56_0/1>.
