BayLISA December meeting (this thursday)

Mon Dec 16 15:26:32 PST 2002

  Let all your friends in the network center know -- if there's ever an
  easiest time to hear what's going on among BayLISA sysadmins, it would
  be December, when the talks are Short But Cool, and then we have a few
  tales afterwards to enjoy, about generally being the right jolly elf
  who plugs the network hubs back in when they get unplugged.

  Join us at 7:30 pm
	...arriving earlier is fine; give yourself time to avoid getting
	lost, and to park.

  It's our very first time at the new site:
	Apple Campus / De Anza Building 3
		please note this is *not* 3 infinite loop, nor is
		it "Town Hall" (4 infinite loop).  But if you see 
		those you went a little too far into the campus,
		though you're at the correct one;  the building you
		wanted was to the left before the Loop.
	10500 De Anza 

  We have a number of juicy Short But Cools being offered:
	-- Vicki Bennet, an area recruiter, on certification and how 
	   it affects getting a job these days
	-- Am I Hot Redux;  yep, it's still hot, it's even got money.
	-- Automated Linux installs using PXE, network booting
	-- Knoppix: instant workstation, just add a PC

  If you've got a Cool topic worth 5 to 15 minutes, don't be afraod to
  bring it along... we'd love to see it.

  Then, we get down to the nitty gritty; real tales of trouble we've
  solved, perhaps in surprising ways and with a few not-so-innocent
  names protected for their privacy.  Often amusing and always a 
  learning experience.

  Besides we'll have the usual array of snacks and sodas to enjoy.
  If that's not enough, though, a batch of us will adjourn to one
  of the local restaurants that's open late.  We'll have some pretty
  good choices to pick from.
