Re: CL programming standards

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That and 20+ years of going to the conferences and only missing 2 in 
that time.

Jim Slone, John Sears, and  others used to hang out a CUDS and really 
talk about the systems.  We learned more at CUDS than we did  at the 
session themselves often times.  (CUDS = COMMON User Discussion 
Session.  Always held after dinner where everyone gathered to talk about 
the day and tech stuff)   It's now called Power Down events.
