== History == USENIX was established in 1975 under the name "Unix Users Group," focusing primarily on the study and development of the [[Unix]] OS family and similar systems. In June 1977, a lawyer from [[AT&T Corporation]] informed the group that they could not use the word "Unix" in their name as it was a trademark of [[Western Electric]] (the manufacturing arm of AT&T until 1995), which led to the change of name to USENIX.<ref name="auugn24_2" /> Since its founding, it has published a technical [[Academic journal|journal]] titled ''[[;login:]]''.<ref>[http://www.usenix.org/publications/login/ ;login: The USENIX Magazine]</ref> USENIX was started as a technical organization. As commercial interest grew, a number of separate groups started in parallel, most notably the [[Software Tools Users Group]] (STUG), a technical adjunct for Unix-like tools and interface on non-Unix operating systems, and /usr/group, a commercially oriented user group. USENIX's founding President was Lou Katz.
