Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2003 14:28:10 +0100 (CET) From: Sidsel Jensen <none@purple--hamster.dk.lh.bsd-dk.dk> To: announce@bsd-dk.dk Subject: Registreringen til NordU 2004 er åben!
The NordU2004 program committee would like to welcome everyone interested
in UNIX or UNIX like systems to the NordU2004 conference in Copenhagen.
The internationally renowned conference is hosted by the Danish UNIX User
Group (DKUUG) at Symbion between the 28th of January 2004 and the 1st of
February 2004. More details are available from the conference homepage at
http://www.nordu.org/NordU2004/
As the NordU2004 conference program is complete the program
committee would like to announce some of the great speakers and topics
that will be covered by the conference.
Wietse Venema
"Wietse Venema is known for his software such as the TCP Wrapper and the
POSTFIX mail system. He co-authored the SATAN network scanner and the
Coroner's Toolkit for forensic analysis. Wietse received awards from the
System Administrator's Guild (SAGE) and from the Netherlands UNIX User
Group (NLUUG). He completed his two-year term as the chair of the
international Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST).
Wietse has a Ph.D. in physics and is a research staff member at the IBM
T.J.Watson research center in the USA."
Peter H Salus
"Dr. Peter H. Salus has been Executive Director of the USENIX Association
and of the Sun User Group and Vice President of the Free Software
Foundation, following 20 years' experience in academia and a stint at
IBM's T.J. Watson Research Center.
Dr. Salus has written or edited over a dozen books, including A Quarter
Century of UNIX, Casting the Net, the four-volume Handbook of Programming
Languages, and the Big Book of IPv6 Addressing RFCs. He has been "The
Bookworm" in ;login: for over a decade."
J.D. "Illiad" Frazer
"By the turn of his third decade, J.D. "Illiad" Frazer discovered that his
years working as a project manager left very little in the way of sanity.
This left him qualified for two occupations only: politician or
cartoonist. Since he still had a solid grip on his ethics, the latter
choice was his only option.
Rated as one of the top 50 most influential people in the Linux community
in the world by Linux Magazine, he quickly changed his name and appearance
as people began to seek him out to answer questions regarding "channel
binding" and "SYN packets." The only thing that J.D. knows about binding
involves his underwear, and he readily admits to being a synner, although
he'll never get used to the American spelling.
Often found at speaking engagements across Europe and North America, J.D.
remains quite incredulous at this sudden change in his life. He thinks
everyone he's met at the conferences are really nice folks, although he
does wonder a bit at the people who follow him around in llama costumes.
His favourite color is green but only on trucks and walls. He stopped
drooling after he quit work as a project manager, and thank you for
asking."
In addition to these speakers topics such as software development for
UNIX, UNIX on the desktop and high performance UNIX will be covered.
Invited speakers include Daniel Viellard and Norman Walsh (XML
Development), Kirk McKusick and Hugh Daniels (Operating Systems), Louis
Suares-Potts (Desktop UNIX).
If this sounds interesting to you, we are now open for registrations at
the website. You can also request the printed program, through the
website.
Kind Regards
- NordU 2004 Program committee
