Workshop 3: Advancing the Practice of System Administration
Jackson
George Beech, LOPSA
LOPSA invites you to help move the practice of system administration forward. We will be running a workshop to discuss the state of system administration and what can be done to move it forward.
We are going to limit the attendance at the workshop to 15 people. Each person will be asked to provide a topic brief on a subject that they feel is important to the field of system administration. This will not be required; however, people who submit a topic brief will be given priority for acceptance to the workshop. If we have fewer than 15 briefs submitted, we will fill the remaining slots on a first-come, first-serve basis from those who did not submit briefs. Please email your briefs to george_beech@lopsa.org.
Each brief should be no more than three paragraphs, stating why the person feels this is a subject that needs to be talked about, where we are today, and how they see the topic growing in the future. Basically, it should be a primer for discussion. Discussion will be moderated by the organizer, but will be guided by the participants.
