most of OSF was technology provided by various members. distributed
computer meetings were looking at merging stuff from (at least) MIT,
CMU, AIX, Apollo, and UCLA's Locus.

LVM was originally developed as part of the original aixv3 for 6000
(along with JFS) .... and predated OSF.

aixv3 was sort of port of aixv2 from pc/rt with lots of changes
(which was at&t derivative)

one of the prominant people that went to OSF had been manager of APL
in STL ... and then went to PASC as manager of BSD-for-370 project
... which got retarged to BSD-for-PC/RT (and called AOS) ... and is
now at Lotus.

another person i was sort of surprised to see at OSF (by way of DEC)
was one of the old CSC/VM alumni who was one of the people that
migrated to DEC when they closed the burlington mall location and
transferred people to POK.

aix/370 & aix/ps2 were locus based .... in some sense they were ibm's
unix SAA ... since locus allowed things like process migration and
partical file caching (cmu afs supported full file caching) some past
