Call For Papers:
FREENIX Track
http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix05/cfp/freenix.html
-------------------------------------------------------

  FREENIX is the forum on free and open source software. We are looking
for papers providing practical and/or academic insight. FREENIX is an
excellent showcase for the latest developments in and interesting
applications of free and open source software. Any project with a focus
on software that is redistributable in source-code form and available
online is a good candidate for a FREENIX submission. (Submissions
focusing on proprietary software will not be accepted.) Projects that,
while not yet 100% finished, anticipate release in the near term are
also good candidates for FREENIX. Submission of any sort of free and
open source software-related work is encouraged, including:

 	- Project reports
	- Academic studies and relevant theory
	- Usage and development experiences, both successful and unsuccessful

The emphasis of a FREENIX submission should be on clearly
communicating important and technically interesting software ideas to
a broad audience.

IMPORTANT DATES:
Submissions due Monday, October 18, 2004
Notification to authors Tuesday, December 7, 2004
Camera-ready papers due Thursday, February 24, 2005
