  The DC chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery, 
  in collaboration with the student ACM chapter at George Washington University,
  proudly presents the first 2007 lecture:
  
  Speaker:  Dr. Brian Kernighan
  
  Dr. Kernighan worked alongside UNIX creators Ken Thompson and Dennis
  Ritchie and contributed significantly to the UNIX school of thought.  He
  is also co-author of the AWK and AMPL programming languages as well as
  co-author of the book "The C Programming Language".
  
  Topic:  The UNIX Legacy
  
  Since its creation in an attic at Bell Labs more than 30 years ago, the
  Unix operating system has spread far beyond anything that its creators
  could possibly have imagined.  It has led to the development of much
  innovative software, and has influenced myriad programmers, usually for
  the better, while affecting other operating systems lamentably little.
  In this talk, Dr. Kernighan will describe some of the early days and the
  golden age, and then in the light of more recent times discuss what the
  Unix legacy might turn out to be.
  
  Where: George Washington University Campus
  Funger Hall, lecture room 108
  2201 G St. NW
  Washington, DC
  (2 blocks from Foggy Bottom Metro)
  
  This lecture is free and open to the public.  ACM membership is not
  required to attend.
  
  Questions and comments can be directed to William Fielder at
  wfielder at acm.org (or winter at frostmarch.com).
