> Although numerous papers continue to be submitted to USENIX ATC with significant research being reviewed, accepted, and presented, the community has evolved, and now attends conferences other than USENIX ATC. From 1,698 attendees in San Diego in 2000, ATC attendance dwindled to 165 attendees in Santa Clara in 2024
It became a write-only conference :-(
I remember reading the NFS and Kerberos papers in school.
The page itself explains the funding crunch, but looking on the 2025 ATC page:
> Gold Sponsors
> National Science Foundation
I am thinking on how large is the impact of recent events in the White House versus a more perennial problem (it looks like the latter, although the former certainly won't help).
