A Reminder: Freenix 2002 - 9-14 of June, 2002.

[Toon Moene]

The announcement for this event has been gone out already some months
ago.

Dates: Submission of 2-5 page extended abstract: November 12, 2001.
       Acceptance/rejection: January 22, 2002.
       Paper submission: April 8, 2002.

Here's a reminder:

FREENIX is looking for papers about projects with a solid emphasis on
nurturing the open source and freely-available software communities. The
purpose for the FREENIX track is not as an archival reference for all
available projects with freely-redistributable source code, but rather a
place to let others know about the project on which you are working and
to provide a forum from which to expand your user and developer base.
Papers should advance the state of the art of freely-redistributable
software or otherwise provide useful information to those faced with
deploying, selling, or using free software in the field. 

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: 

- Cross-platform source portability and binary compatibility 
- Desktop metaphors 
- Distributed and parallel systems 
- Documentation 
- File system design 
- Graphical user interface tools 
- Highly-available systems 
- Highly-scalable and clustered systems 
- How free software is being developed and managed today 
- Interesting deployments of free software 
- Large scale system management 
- Network design and implementation 
- Operating system design 
- Print systems 
- Quality Assurance 
- Security 
- Software development tools 
- Storage systems 
- System and user management tools 
- Technical aspects of commercial use of free software
