The meeting is at 7:30pm this Thursday, January 19, 2012, at LinkedIn (currently scheduled for the usual "Culture Club" meeting room at 2051 Stierlin Ct, 94043). Dr. Burgess's talk,?"SysAdmin 3.0: The Infrastructure Engineer," is looking to be popular, with a full house of 60 RSVPs already in and a waiting list forming. We are looking into a larger space, and if that happens, details will be emailed, as well as posted on www.baylisa.org and Meetup... IMPORTANT: If you're planning to come but haven't RSVPed yet, please go to http://www.meetup.com/BayLISA/events/38191672/ ...and register for the event. If you have RSVPed already--thank you--but if your plans change, please change your status on the site so that a waiting list person can join us. Waiting list slots should convert on a first-come, first-served basis, so the sooner you RSVP, the better your chances will be of getting in. We base meeting space (where possible) and refreshments on the number of RSVPs received, and with 65 people interested so far, we want to make sure that everyone who wants to hear Dr. Burgess speak can do so comfortably. We appreciate your support and cooperation, and I do my best not to over-email people through Meetup or any of our other communication venues. Thanks, and hope to see you this Thursday.

However, it looks to be a very full house. If you've already RSVPed, and decide not to come to the meeting, please change your RSVP as soon as possible so someone else can get in. If you did not RSVP yet, please be aware that we may not have room for you. Like most organizations, we are subject to the laws of physics, and no amount of NoSQL will change that. It's not too late to register for the waiting list at http://www.meetup.com/BayLISA/events/38191672/ and we will allow updates until 4pm in case people's plans change.

On behalf of the LISA '12 organizers, I invite you to submit your ideas. The Call for Participation (CFP), with submission guidelines and sample topics, can be found on the USENIX Web site at: http://www.usenix.org/lisa12/cfpa/ The annual LISA conference is the meeting place of choice for system administrators, IT architects, and IT engineers. The conference provides a rich mix of technical training by industry experts, dynamic talks that inspire attendees to think beyond today, panel discussions for debate of current issues, ask-the-expert guru sessions, and presentations by people like you who introduce the next generation of methods and solutions. The conference's diverse participants are matched by an equally broad spectrum of activities: * Refereed papers are written papers, 8 to 18 pages long, that describe work that advances the art or practice of system administration. * Practice and experience reports are compelling system administration stories that share useful lessons with the audience. * New this year! We include a review and response period for authors of papers and practice and experience reports (PERs) to provide better transparency in the review process and to increase authors' chances of acceptance into the conference. Authors of refereed papers and PERs can use this period to answer questions from reviewers and address any misconceptions about their submissions. * Talks are 30- or 60-minute presentations by experts on a single topic of interest to system administrators. * Guru sessions: Q&A with an expert! Are you a guru? Share your expertise with your fellow system administrators and answer questions from the audience. * Lightning talks are high-energy 5-minute talks on any topic related to system administration. Have more than one idea? Sign up to give more than one. * Poster session: This is your chance to get feedback from your peers on research that may not be ready for formal publication. * Workshops are interactive half-day or full-day sessions that encourage small group discussion and idea sharing on specific system administration topics. * The training program offers tutorials that are also half-day or full-day sessions, but, unlike workshops, tutorials are generally intended for an instructor to share knowledge, not to be open discussions. * Birds-of-a-Feather sessions (BoFs) are informal gatherings held in the evenings. BoF groups range from users of particular software packages or products, through those interested in discussing current problems or issues, to people interested in a particular aspect of computing. LISA '12 takes place December 9-14, 2012, in San Diego, CA. We look forward to hearing from you!
