In honor of the 25th annual LISA conference this year, we'll be sharing stories and memories from some of the speakers, organizers, and attendees who make each LISA such a success. A note from LISA co-chair Tom Limoncelli:
LISA program co-chair Tom Limoncelli will be teaching a class based on this blog post at LISA 2011 in Boston, Dec 4-9, 2011. From his blog:
People often ask me how they can improve their sysadmin team. It takes only a brief discussion to find fundamental gaps that, when filled, will improve the teams's productivity and the quality of the service being provided.
Amy Rich has been attending LISA since 1995. Formerly a columnist for Sys Admin magazine and the Senior UNIX Systems Administrator/Team Lead at Tufts University, Rich now works as Special Operations: RelEng Liaison at Mozilla Corporation.
Over the years, I've had many opportunities to work with the USENIX organization and its members. As an editor for Sys Admin magazine, I attended some of the LISA events, which our publication helped sponsor. Several of our former Sys Admin authors are familiar faces at USENIX events, including Peter Baer Galvin and Amy Rich.
LISA '11 kicks off Sunday, December 4, with in-person training. Attendees can choose among more than 45 classes, including Configuration Management Solutions with CFEngine 3, taught by CFEngine CTO Mark Burgess.
Burgess, along with Carolyn Rowland, will also teach A Sysadmin's Guide to Navigating the Business World, on Tuesday, December 6th.
