Some of you may wonder why there are two POSIX workshops
back to back on opposite coasts.

The NBS workshop (20-21 October, D.C. area) is actually more of a
presentation, since NBS intends to present the work they've done on
making a POSIX FIPS, and related work.  They hope for a somewhat
marketing-oriented attendee list, and for comments on what they have
done and what they are planning to do.  According to Roger Martin of NBS.

The USENIX workshop (22-23 October, in Berkeley) is for application and
interface implementors.  The idea is to get them to talk to each other
about common approaches in order to produce more uniform implementations,
to discuss difficult problems, to provide feedback to the P1003
Working Group, and also to present work already done.  According
to Jim McGinness.

Both "according to"s might better be "as told to jsq" and the
wording is mine, not theirs.
