- A MEMO TO 386BSD USENIX ATTENDEES:
-
- Due to deadlines and other work commitments, Bill and I will be
- unable to attend the 386BSD BOF Tuesday evening at USENIX in San Diego,
- CA. USA. We hope to meet with 386BSD users and hear about what you want
- from 386BSD -- possibly even at our own 386BSD conference -- later in
- the year.
-
- Instead, Chris Demetriou will be leading the 386BSD BOF. Chris
- has been an enormous help to 386BSD users, and has himself put out new
- work to be incorporated into 386BSD. We hope you will attend this BOF
- and support him and each other in discussing new 386BSD work. If there
- are any additional questions, feel free to contact us.
-
- If people have questions about 386BSD directions or policy, have
- them contact us via the usual channels and we will deal with them. We
- always welcome courteous and thoughtful discussion on any 386BSD-related
- issues.
-
- For those 386BSD users who attend this USENIX and other conferences,
- I have this small piece of advice -- be proud of who you are and what you
- have done. Most users of 386BSD cannot afford to take the time and money
- to attend these conferences, so you few who went to the trouble and expense
- represent not just yourselves but a very large and dynamic community of users.
- There are hundred-of-thousands of people all over the world who are also part
- of 386BSD, so you are not alone.
-
- Please try to rise above petty bickering and trivial insults, and
- steer clear of gossip and character-assassination. There is no point to
- reacting negatively to envy and bitterness. Remember -- 386BSD is doing
- just fine, and the best response to uncouth or ill-tempered remarks is
- the success all of you have already made of 386BSD!
-
- There are a lot of exciting things happening with 386BSD. And this
- is only the beginning!
-
- But most of all -- HAVE FUN!
-
- Good Luck!
-
