Usenix ATC Announcement (Usenix ATC Shutting Down)

https://www.usenix.org/blog/usenix-atc-announcement

Wow, just saw this. #Usenix was a significant driver of my growth as a Unix developer and sys admin. The #SAGE conference in particular was a must-attend for me and me sys admin colleagues. I presented there more than once. I heard my first security paper there. I was there when the original inventor of sudo (whose name escapes me) first presented that soon-to-be universal utility. (The idea was an obvious winner as soon as he described it.)

So many friends from that era. Just a ton of memories (especially from the LISA conferences). And T-shirts.

Really disappointed to learn of the demise of the #USENIX Annual Technical Conference. It was the flagship conference of the USENIX organization and a hub for the dissemination of computing research. I hope USENIX itself is somehow able to continue to thrive. https://lwn.net/Articles/1020306/ #atc #usenixatc

The end of the #Usenix Annual Technical Conference (#ATC):
https://lwn.net/ml/all/CACY3YMGkaDL40rrQ4Pu9jSUt6eiQwQsA-MnQ4_Hp1gMV9sThfQ@mail.gmail.com/
I attended the 2001 edition in Boston just after my first #OpenBSD hackathon (!c2k1)
At the time they were lending PCMCIA wifi cards to attendees to enjoy the beginning of wireless networking.

Theory-heavy way of looking at reliability issues, which also includes suggestions on how to write about incidents: https://www.usenix.org/publications/loginonline/evolution-sre-google

It gives an introduction to STAMP (System-Theoretic Accident Model and Processes), which I had never heard of before reading this.

The book they reference, by MIT professor Nancy Leveson is available free online! https://direct.mit.edu/books/oa-monograph/2908/Engineering-a-Safer-WorldSystems-Thinking-Applied

I have some reading to do!

Tomorrow in #dublin
