[Baylisa] BayLISA is looking for volunteers and speakers; Also, upcoming Cisco meetup that I'll be hosting.

Fri Feb 21 13:13:24 PST 2014

Hi folks,

First of all, I'll be hosting a meetup for the Cisco Support Community this
coming Thursday, around the Cisco Unified Computing System 2.2 software
release. If you're interested in Cisco's data center play, check out
details at http://www.meetup.com/csc-sv/events/162154302/ and come along to
see us.

Back to BayLISA though:

As some of you may have noticed, we did not hold our regular meeting this
past Thursday. We ran short on speaker options again this February, and I
was unavailable to drive the meeting process due to family and health
issues, but we hope to be able to rectify this for the upcoming March 20
meeting.

We regularly hear from a few people who don't like vendors presenting at
BayLISA. We rarely hear from those people offering to present something
themselves, or suggesting another "pure" technologist to give a talk.
Here's your chance.

If you've done something interesting recently that you'd like to share with
the sysadmin community, or if you know someone local who has, get in touch
with me or put them in touch with me.

If you know a vendor or company with sufficiently technical people who
might want to present, feel free to help us connect with them as well.

And if you'd like to get involved on a more regular basis, we have room on
the board for a couple more active participants in the BayLISA operations
side of things. It takes about an hour or two a week, gets you visibility
in the community and the industry, and benefits other sysadmins in the area
as well.

Contact me directly if you'd like to help with any of the above.

Thanks,
Robert Novak
BayLISA President
