I Am SysAdmin (And So Can You!)
LISA: Where systems engineering and operations professionals share real-world knowledge about designing, building, and maintaining the critical systems of our interconnected world.
The LISA conference has long served as the annual vendor-neutral meeting place for the wider system administration community. The LISA14 program recognized the overlap and differences between traditional and modern IT operations and engineering, and developed a highly-curated program around 5 key topics: Systems Engineering, Security, Culture, DevOps, and Monitoring/Metrics. The program included 22 half- and full-day training sessions; 10 workshops; and a conference program consisting of 50 invited talks, panels, refereed paper presentations, and mini-tutorials.

Systems Administration as a profession is under attack. Industry movements like SRE and DevOps are attempting to redefine Systems Administration from under our feet. Many have even said they aren't SysAdmins anymore. Well, I always have been and always will be a SysAdmin! Let's discuss the changing landscape and bring some sanity to the conversation.
