1) USENIX announces open access to conference proceedings.

I became a USENIX member a few years ago after reading some of the older
articles.  I really liked reading ;login: The USENIX Magazine.  ;login:
is where I first read about Solaris Zones.

I received the following in my email this evening from Anne Dickison:

  USENIX is pleased to announce open public access to all its conference
  proceedings.
  
  This significant decision will allow universal access to some of the
  most important technical research in advanced computing. In making this
  move USENIX is setting the standard for open access to information, an
  essential part of its mission.
  
  USENIX could not achieve such goals without the support and dedication
  of its membership. We urge you to encourage others to join USENIX.
  Membership helps us present over 20 influential conferences each year
  and offer open access to the technical information presented there.
