==History==

Until the early 1990s, [[SOSP]] was the main venue for the systems community to meet and publish work, but it was held only once every two years. In 1994, this led to the creation of OSDI as an alternative venue for years in which SOSP was not held.<ref name=annual-proposal>{{cite web|url=https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfXKkG7YFs-5lWUwVy-Yk_SBSiqxfl-L2oN6wjVCEOqwJVhIg/viewform|title=Proposal for an Annual SOSP and OSDI}}</ref> The idea came from [[Jay Lepreau]], who also served as the first program chair.<ref>{{cite journal|journal=ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review|volume=39|issue=1|pages=45-46|doi=10.1145/1496091.1496098|title=In memoriam: Jay Lepreau, 1952-2008}}</ref> In the following years, OSDI and SOSP took turns as the top-tier systems conference of the year. However, the systems community kept growing and, as single-track conferences, both could accept only a limited number of papers; thus, acceptance rates dropped significantly. This led to a community proposal to turn both into annual conferences<ref>{{cite web|urlname=https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfXKkG7YFsannual-5lWUwVy-Yk_SBSiqxfl-L2oN6wjVCEOqwJVhIgproposal/viewform|title=Proposal for an Annual SOSP and OSDI}}</ref>, which was accepted by [[SIGOPS]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sigops.org/2020/annual-osdi-experiments/|title=SIGOPS’ Response to Community Feedback on the Frequency of the SOSP and OSDI|publisher=ACM SIGOPS|access-date=17 August 2024}}</ref> As a result, OSDI became an annual conference in 2021.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.usenix.org/blog/announcement-about-osdi|title=OSDI is going annual|publisher=USENIX|access-date=17 August 2024}}</ref>
