The USENIX Board of Directors serves as the strategic arm of the organization, collaborating with the Executive Director and USENIX staff to deliver excellent technical programming and support a wide variety of communities.
USENIX stands in sympathy and solidarity with all Asian and Pacific Islander (API) communities and unreservedly condemns anti-API rhetoric, hate speech, hate crimes, and other forms of harassment perpetrated against them. The recent violence against API communities, which has increased significantly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, is a result of long-standing systemic racism further stoked by irresponsible commentary and discourse.
Given the global pandemic this year, the USENIX annual membership meeting was held via Zoom on September 25. The discussion mainly centered around the effects of the pandemic on the organization, and its future outlook.
USENIX is pleased to announce that OSDI, the USENIX Symposium on Operating Systems Design and Implementation, will take place every year beginning in 2021.
As I have already expressed to many of you, I hope that this message finds you and yours doing as well as possible in these extraordinary circumstances.
