All you want to know about USENIX

USENIX logo

The USENIX Association is the Advanced Computing Technical Association. It was founded in 1975 under the name "Unix Users Group", focusing primarily on the study and development of Unix and similar systems. The name change to USENIX was in reaction to a threatening letter from Western Electric. It has since grown into a respected organization among practitioners, developers, and researchers of computer operating systems more generally.

USENIX has a special interest group for system administrators, SAGE.

It sponsors several conferences and workshops each year, most notably the USENIX Symposium on Operating Systems Design and Implementation (OSDI), the USENIX Annual Technical Conference, the USENIX Security Symposium, the USENIX Conference on File and Storage Technologies (FAST), and with SAGE, the Large Installation System Administration Conference (LISA).
