The web site www.bsdcon.com (alias www.bsdcon.org) is 
dead.

Contact Wind River Systems and ask why the host is down.

The real home page for BSDCON is 
http://www.usenix.org/events/bsdcon02
so www.bsdcon.org should be a simple virtual webserver
with a redirect to the real home page.

IMHO the domains should be maintained by the FreeBSD Project
or an other non-profit organization (FreeBSD Foundation, Usenix).

BTW, the domains bsdcon.com and bsdcon.org 
expires in 3 weeks!

I've started dialogs with several people both inside and outside of 
Wind River to resolve this.

State-Changed-When: Tue Mar 26 04:57:04 PST 2002 
State-Changed-Why:  
Well, Usenix is hardly a non-profit, so I wouldn't have listed them 
with the FreeBSD Foundation above. 

Apparently, someone at WRS did eventually re-register the domains, so 
the worst situation (domain grabbed by a squatter) was avoided. 

It's not clear to me at this point if Usenix is even going to sponsor 
the next BSDCon, so IMHO the domain is in as good of hands with WRS as 
it is with Usenix, Apple, or any other BSD friendly organization.
