TUTORIALS, WORKSHOPS, WIPS, AND BOFS
Training Program
LISA offers state-of-the-art tutorials from top experts in their
fields. Topics range from introductory skills to advanced topics,
updates on developments, and news. You can choose from over 40 full-
and half-day tutorials covering everything from performance tuning,
through Linux, Solaris, Windows, Perl, TCP/IP troubleshooting, security,
networking, network services, sendmail, Samba, and legal issues, to
professional development.
To provide the best possible tutorial offerings, USENIX continually
solicits proposals and ideas for new tutorials. If you are interested
in presenting a tutorial at this or other USENIX conferences or
have an idea for a tutorial you would like to see offered
please contact the Training Program Coordinator:
Daniel V. Klein
Tel: +1.412.422.0285
Email: dvk@usenix.org
Workshops
Since 2000, the LISA conference has included a workshop track during
the tutorial days. These one-day workshops have been hands-on,
participatory, interactive sessions where small groups of system
administrators have discussions ranging from highly detailed to
high-level.
Past workshop topics have included AFS, benchmarking, cfengine,
intrusion detection, metaLISA, and teaching system administration. We are looking both for proposals for new topics and
for endorsements of previously held sessions.
A workshop proposal should include the following information:
- Title,
- Objective
- Organizer name(s) and contact information
- Potential attendee profile
- An outline of potential topics
Please email your proposal to lisa04workshops@usenix.org
Workshop proposals are due April 20, 2004.
Work-in-Progress Reports
A Work-in-Progress report (WiP) is a very short presentation about
work you are currently undertaking. It is a great way to
poll the LISA audience for feedback and interest. We are particularly
interested in presentations of student work.
Do you have interesting work you would like to share, or a cool
idea that is not yet ready to be published? To schedule your short
report, send email to lisa04wips@usenix.org.
WiP submissions will also be accepted the first day of the technical
sessions. The final list of accepted WiPs will be posted
at least 2 hours before the WiPs session.
Birds-of-a-Feather Sessions
Birds-of-a-Feather sessions (BoFs) are very informal gatherings
organized by attendees interested in a particular topic.
BoFs are held Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings. BoFs may
be scheduled in advance by telephone or email:
Tel.: +1.510.528.8649
Email: conference@usenix.org
BoFs may also be scheduled at the conference.
The Guru Is In Sessions
Everyone is invited to bring perplexing technical questions
to the experts at LISA's unique The Guru Is In sessions. These
informal gatherings are organized around a single technical area
or topic. Past sessions have focused on Samba, email, Perl,
and backups. We welcome suggestions for Guru Is In sessions, as well
as volunteers to be a Guru.
Please email suggestions for Guru Is In sessions, or your offer to
be a Guru, to lisa04guru@usenix.org.
