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).
