Huge thanks are due to our sponsors for keeping the conference inexpensive and accessible. Current sponsors include New York Internet, DataPipe, Everest Broadband, Datagram, USENIX, iXSystems, Pearson Education and our small business sponsors Loftmail and PC Engines.

And finally, thanks to our many media sponsors, who have provided support and publicity for the conference, including Columbia University's Network Security Lab, the BSD Certification Group, BSD Magazine, New York PHP, the Industrial Technology and Assistance Corporation and Gruppo Udenti FreeBSD Italia. Without the assistance of Columbia University's Angelos Keromytis and Matthew Burnside, the conference would not be possible.
