I thought the survey for developer conferences was really interesting. I would like to know which conferences are worth taking time from classes to go see. Since I am still a student, it is pretty hard for me to take time off to travel. Also, since I am looking for a job, I feel that an expo is a good place to get an idea what companies are doing and who are looking for more people. Are expos a good place to find jobs?
The impression I get from the campus career center is that I should accept a job offer by Janurary. But there are so many jobs out there and a lot of companies don't want to wait five months while I finish school. Should I get a job with a company that can hire five months in advance or should I wait and see who is looking for jobs in April and can wait a month or two? Would it be a good idea to go to an expo in December and ask companies for interviews?

How can you forget AFS and Coda which allow terrabytes of distributed storage? Surely if NFS was recognized, AFS should be too.
