I will be giving a lecture at NYCBSDCon on November 13 about my research
covering the history of Berkeley Unix and will highlight some of the
important events and key participants in BSD history.

I have done over 50 interviews with early participants, including during
the first Berkeley UNIX Software Tape, the Second Berkeley Software
Distribution, and vmunix period. (I still have many to do.)
