Sometimes Less Is More

摘要

At the SIGOPS business meeting at SOSP07, we discussed the policy of sending SOSP, ASPLOS and EuroSys proceedings to all members as part of Operating Systems Review. Many members already receive copies of the proceedings when they attend the conferences and others simply prefer to read the papers online. There was a strong consensus that printed proceedings should be optional. I am happy to report that starting this year, conference proceedings will be offered as an optional member package and basic membership fees have been reduced. As part of this change, conference proceedings will no longer be packaged as an issue of OSR, but will instead be identical to the proceedings given to conference attendees.
