Hi Joseph:

USENIX is having its Annual Technical Conference (USENIX'05) in Anaheim
April 10-15.  (Please see the online text below.) Can you help us get
the word out to your members and in the area in general? For example:
is it appropriate to mention at the meeting?  Are there places you can
post about it?

If you can use them, there are gif banners and a .pdf flyer for the
conference at http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix05/promote.html

Many thanks for any assistance, -Peter
