Spring 2004 SHRUG

SHRUG is the Hackers Reading and Understanding Group.

The goal of SHRUG is to read, understand and present OS code. This does not have to be completely constrained to the kernel, but understanding how a modern kernel works is one of the primary goals.

SHRUG will be held Thursdays at 5 PM in CSIC room 2118.

To be informed of upcoming SHRUGs and related events, subscribe to the SHRUG mailing list.
