USENIX is co-sponsoring SANE 2000 as part of an initiative to support the advanced computing community outside of the United States through co- operative ventures with local organizations.

USENIX is the Advanced Computing Systems Technical and Professional Association. Since 1975 the USENIX Association has brought together the community of engineers, system administrators, scientists, and technicians working on the cutting edge of the computing world. Their conferences are the essential meeting grounds for the presentation and discussion of the most advanced information on the latest developments in computing.

The USENIX Association and its members are dedicated to:

• problem-solving with a practical bias,
• fostering innovation and research that works,
• communicating rapidly the results of both research and innovation,
• providing a neutral forum for the exercise of critical thought and the airing of technical issues.
