Sorry for this shot across the bow. 

I just got forwarded this piece of mail of an upcoming Usenix.  It seems
to list several systems with freely redistributable software and is
missing one system near and dear.  What's the reason?  Do we just not
have anyone from core that wants to represent NetBSD to Freenix?

We've expanded both the annual conference (New Orleans) and
the Workshop on Electronic Commerce, and want to remind you
about an upcoming deadline.  Read on for details.

A TRACK, FEATURING LINUX, FREEBSD, OPENBSD, SAMBA
and the full range of freely redistributable software, has been 
added to the Annual Conference taking place June 15-19, 1998
in New Orleans.  Details are at: http://www.usenix.org/events/no98/
