BayLISA meeting Message-ID: <2D62CD92-C183-425F-BA10-B5C325B05DB7@extragalactic.net> Hi All! This month is short-but-cool topic month. If you have a neat thing you're working on/with & would like to chat about or demo it for about 15 minutes, please come & share! Send a reply to me, too, so I can get a feel for how many speakers we'll have. I'll send a reminder about a week prior to the meeting with time/place details (although it'll be same time, same place as last month :^) I'm gonna give a quickie demo of the difference SSDs can make for certain workloads. -Guy From lgj at usenix.org Wed Dec 9 11:56:17 2009 From: lgj at usenix.org (Lionel Garth Jones) Date: Wed, 9 Dec 2009 11:56:17 -0800 Subject: USENIX WebApps '10 Submissions Deadline Approaching Message-ID: <7E637CAA-48E2-4364-B54F-2AF5257D1C7F@usenix.org> I'm writing to remind you that the submission deadline for the USENIX Conference on Web Application Development (WebApps '10) is approaching.
