  USENIX 
 
    Since  1975,  the  USENIX  Association  has  provided  a  forum 
  for  the  communication  of  the  results  of  innovation  and 
  research  in  {Unix}  and  modern  {open  system}s.  It  is  well 
  known  for  its  technical  conferences,  tutorial  programs,  and 
  the  wide  variety  of  publications  it  has  sponsored  over  the 
  years. 
 
  USENIX  is  the  original  not-for-profit  membership  organisation 
  for  individuals  and  institutions  interested  in  {Unix}  and 
  {Unix}-like  systems,  by  extension,  {X},  {object-oriented} 
  technology,  and  other  advanced  tools  and  technologies,  and  the 
  broad  interconnected  and  interoperable  computing  environment. 
 
  USENIX's  activities  include  an  annual  technical  conference; 
  frequent  specific-topic  conferences  and  symposia;  a  highly 
  regarded  tutorial  program  covering  a  wide  range  of  topics, 
  introductory  through  advanced;  numerous  publications, 
  including  a  book  series,  in  cooperation  with  The  {MIT  Press}, 
  on  advanced  computing  systems,  proceedings  from  USENIX 
  symposia  and  conferences,  the  quarterly  journal  "Computing 
  Systems",  and  the  biweekly  newsletter;  "login:  "; 
  participation  in  various  {ANSI},  {IEEE}  and  {ISO}  {standard}s 
  efforts;  sponsorship  of  local  and  special  technical  groups 
  relevant  to  Unix.  The  chartering  of  SAGE,  the  {System 
  Administrators  Guild}  as  a  Special  Technical  Group  within 
  USENIX  is  the  most  recent.
