 | Peter Honeyman received the USENIX Lifetime Achievement Award, known as The Flame Award, this past June at the USENIX Annual Technical Conference. This award recognizes "singular contributions to the UNIX community of both intellectual achievement and service that are not recognized in any other forum." Peter was praised for his "profound and lasting impact on the field of computer science,... for his seminal contributions to computing systems," and especially for his efforts as a mentor. The award committee wrote, "Peter's often highly unconventional stewardship of the countless students, researchers, and advisees he has touched is the stuff of graduate student legend." Peter is an adjunct faculty member with CSE, a professor with the School of Information, and scientific director of the Center for Information Technology Integration. He has advised and been a mentor to many high-achieving CSE students over the years, including Avi Rubin (Professor and author of Brave New Ballot: The Battle to Safeguard Democracy in the Age of Electronic Voting), Tim Howes (Founder and CTO of Opsware, Inc.), Larry Huston (Intel research lab), and recently Niels Provos (Senior Staff Engineer at Google, Inc.).
