(drats, I forgot to mention it at the BAD meeting - but we were a small
bunch at that meeting anyway ... but we had very yummy food! :-))
USENIX would like us to mention to or remind folks about LISA '05.
LISA (Large Installation System Administration) is a great event for
system (and other computer-related) administrators.  I've been to LISA
multiple times, and highly recommend it.  Lots of great information
about the event can be found at the URL following ... and their clamis
are not overstated:
http://www.usenix.org/events/lisa05/
And yes, it was at LISA that I first learned of Debian.
Some highlihts also included/mentioned below (you might want to skip
forward to the "(cut here)").

Subject: Mention LISA at BAD meeting at Siam Kitchen?

Hi Michael:

I'm back again to promote another conference: we're holding our LISA
(Large Installation System Administration) conference in San Diego
this year: December 4-9.  Can you mention the conference at the meeting?

See the online conference announcement below, Also, there are gif
buttons and a pdf flyer for the conference at:

http://www.usenix.org/events/lisa05/promote.html

Are there other mechanisms we can use to get the message out to your
membership?  (e.g.: can we post this to the list, or can you post it
for us?) We'd also like to spread the word to other potentially
interested groups in the area: are there other local groups (user
groups, ACM chapters, corporations, universities etc.) I should be
trying to contact?

Or let me know if I'm being harassing.

Thanks for any help, -Peter
