This periodic posting serves as an introduction to newsgroup
comp.os.research. A set of companion postings, the Frequently Asked
Questions for comp.os.research, summarises some of the past
discussions in the group.
Comp.os.research is a moderated Usenet newsgroup created to foster the
discussion of and exchange of information on topics in the field of
operating systems research. The moderator is Darrell Long
<darrell@cse.ucsc.edu> of the University of California at Santa Cruz.
As far as moderation policy is concerned, the following two principles
are applied to each article submitted for posting: is it interesting?
is it related to research?
Job announcements will be posted if they are related to operating
systems research; blatantly commercial postings are not acceptable.
Calls for papers for most conferences and journals related to OS
research will be posted. This is fairly broadly interpreted, since OS
research is a large field.
Smart alec comments are generally filed unceremoniously in /dev/null.
Finally, discussions are cut off when the signal-to-noise ratio falls
below a certain (fairly subjective) level. Please consider setting
the Followup-To: line whenever discussion drifts away from operating
systems research.
This posting, like much of Usenet, is maintained on a purely volunteer
basis. It is subject to comment and improvement by sending email to
os-faq@cse.ucsc.edu.
