From: tytso@valinux.com Subject: CONFERENCE: To those who have submitted a paper to ALS 2000: PLEASE READ Date: Sun, 7 May 2000 20:43:02 GMT To all those who may have submitted a paper to ALS 2000!!! I recently discovered that there may be some bug in either Netscape or in Usenix's web submissions pages which may have caused your web submissions to have gotten lost. Although the I and the Usenix webmaster are still trying to figure out exactly why this might have happened, there's been at least three case of paper submissions that went awry. Basically, if after you pressed the "submit" button, you immediately received an empty form, then the web submission didn't take. If it did work, you should have gotten a "Thank you" page. If you think you submitted a paper to ALS2000, and you're not sure if you saw the "Thank you" page, please get in touch with me immediately, and tell me the paper's title, and for which track your paper was submitted. I can double check to see if your paper made it into the submission queue. If you haven't submitted a paper to ALS 2000, it's not too late. Submit it before the weekend, and we'll take a look at it!
