Systems Lunch

For many years there have been numerous small systems meetings surfacing and disappearing at Berkeley. There are few chances for systems students to talk to one another and exchange ideas. SysLunch aims to combine these meetings, and will hopefully last for many years. Details of the meeting are as follows:

Who's involved

Graduate students with interest in the following systems conferences: SOSP, OSDI, NSDI, PODC, SIGCOMM, INFOCOMM, MOBICOM, MOBISYS, SenSys...

What happens during each meeting

Lunch will be provided, and will take up the first half hour of the meeting. For the rest of the remaining one hour, there will be talk(s) given mainly by students from different systems groups at Berkeley, followed by discussions.
