Hey everyone,

Have you been to a BayLISA meeting lately? Did you know we're giving
out jetpacks and hovercars now?

Well, neither did we, so it probably isn't going to happen. But we do
have an excellent opportunity to network with your colleagues in
system administration around the bay area, and to help us bring in
speakers and technologies of interest.

This month, I have friends from Arista Networks and Force 10 Networks
coming in to talk about nifty new stuff in their network platforms. We
have a couple of other ideas being worked on as well, but we can still
use your help.

* Invite a friend or coworker (or more than one) to come to the next
meeting. It's at 7:30pm on Thursday, March 17, at LinkedIn in Mountain
View. RSVP at http://www.meetup.com/BayLISA/events/16403756/ and get
more details.

* If you go to another local sysadmin/devops/technical meetup, mention
us when they have open discussion/announcements. Just tell people to
go to baylisa.org or meetup.com/baylisa ... both will be updated more
often going forward.

* If you know or hear a speaker you think would be of interest, either
send us a note at blw at baylisa.org or through the Meetup site, or
direct the speaker toward us at the same venues. We have a few
openings this year, and we're always looking to diversify our
presentations and keep new and old attendees interested.

* If you *are* a speaker you think would be of interest to local
sysadmins, get in touch with us too. We have openings for full hour
presentations (or half hours if we can get two in the same month), as
well as June and December "short topics" sessions where you get about
10 minutes to talk very concisely about something that might not
warrant a full hour.

As always, if you have questions or comments about BayLISA, feel free
to contact any of us on the board or blw at baylisa.org. We'd love to
hear your feedback.

Thanks,
Rob

Subject: Coming in June -- Short Topics at BayLISA -- and you're invited!
Message-ID: <AANLkTim2AfuOjnR6O0t5erur-gwQfEudHv0k0W68yJu5@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone,

We're working on the set list for the June 16 BayLISA meeting, which
will be another "short topics" session like December, but potentially
with shorter topics.

So far there are three or four semi-committed speakers talking on a
couple of interesting topics, about 10 minutes each plus a brief
question-and-answer period after each. But we have room for many more,
and even a longer presentation (half hour or so) if one were
suggested.

Would you be interested in presenting something short but cool at the
June meeting? It's just a ten minute slot, you can do slides or demos
or interpretive dance, and get some feedback from your peers. Great
for honing brown bag skills for work, or assessing the technical crowd
reaction for a future conference presentation.

We are also looking for suggestions for future "regular" meeting
speakers, and have openings for either half-meeting topics (where two
presenters split the evening, as we did for March's meeting) or
full-meeting topics over the next few months. Feel free to contact me
directly or point prospective speakers toward blw at baylisa.org for
followup.

Thanks all... and see you on April 21 (next board meeting is April 4,
contact me if you're a member interested in attending/getting
involved).

Subject: Next BayLISA board meeting (4/4/11 7:30pm) and BLW (BayLISA Wheels) group
Message-ID: <AANLkTim4kXM+Cv8YPjtji2RARGswvuq_RO6cm37VmhQ0@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone,

The next meeting of the BayLISA Board of Directors is this coming
Monday, April 4, 7:30pm PT, in downtown Mountain View. As the board
secretary and the facility host for the board meeting, I'd like to
invite interested members of BayLISA to join us for this or any board
meeting.

BayLISA is run by volunteers; if you're interested in helping
coordinate activities, or are thinking about running for a seat on the
board of directors this fall, it's a great opportunity to start
getting familiar with the inner workings of the board and getting
involved.

If you do want to join us at the next board meeting, please email me
directly for details and directions.

Also, I'd like to remind you that we have a mailing list called
BayLISA Wheels (blw at baylisa) which is for board members past and
present, and anyone else interested in discussing the operation of the
organization. It's a fairly low volume list most of the time, but it's
a good list to join if you are thinking about getting more involved
with the organization. See http://www.baylisa.org/services.shtml for
instructions on joining the mailing lists.

Thanks,
Robert Novak
BayLISA Secretary/Cheerleader
