Potential Posix implementors are likely to cover a few miles in October, when two Posix workshops are being held one after the other, but on opposite sides of the US: the first, October 20 and 21, in Rockville, Maryland is a presentation by the American National Bureau of Standards on their proposals for Posix as a Federal Information Processing Standard for discussion; then it’s pack your bags for the West Coast to Berkeley for the Usenix workshop, October 22 and 23, where application and interface implementors are expected to swap ideas and provide feedback for the P1003 working group – after that there’s the weekend to recover!
