Conference Services and Activities
Schedule a BoF! Talk to an expert! Present a new work! Don't miss these special activities, designed to maximize your time at LISA. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings Do you have a topic that you'd like to discuss with others? The always popular evening Birds-of-a-Feather Sessions are very informal, attendee-organized gatherings of persons interested in a particular topic. BoFs may be scheduled during the conference at the registration desk or in advance by contacting the USENIX Conference Office by phone at 1.949.588.8649 or by sending email to conference@usenix.org. BoFs are open to all attendees. Friday, December 11, 11:00 am - 12:30 pm Do you have interesting work you would like to share, or a cool idea that is not yet ready to be published? The USENIX audience provides valuable discussion and feedback. Short, pithy, and fun, Works-in-Progress Reports (WIPs) introduce interesting new or ongoing work. We are particularly interested in presentation of student work. Prospective speakers should send a short one or two paragraph report, to lisawips@usenix.org. A schedule of presentations will be posted at the conference and the speakers will be notified in advance. Works-in-Progress Reports are five-minute presentations; the time limit will be strictly enforced. Have a question that's been bothering you? Try asking a USENIX guru! Experts from the USENIX community will be available to spark controversy and answer questions. These are informal discussions among participants, one more way at the conference to transmit information. Please send email to Lee Damon at lisaguru@usenix.org if you would like to volunteer your expertise. Find out how to get involved in SAGE, and hear from the SAGE Executive Committee on their recent and upcoming activities. The committee will be on hand to answer your questions, and to solicit your ideas and feedback on how to better serve SAGE members. You will also hear from the candidates running in the upcoming SAGE election. Everybody is welcome.
