We should decide the status of the workshop. One possibility is to evolve it into a conference and produce real proceedings that would be distributed outside the workshop. We could make it more of a conference and less of a workshop. That way there would be an OS-related conference every year. Workshops and conferences serve different purposes.
Workshops are a forum for provocative and less-finished ideas.
Notes from the workshop are useful to have in the digest of proceedings, but then the proceedings cannot be distributed in advance. Marc will investigate the cost of distributing proceedings to all members. Jean Bacon spoke about the status of IEEE Concurrency. ACM and IEEE should be forced to collaborate. IEEE and ACM serve different communities.
