What we’re about
BayLISA is the premiere system administration user group in Silicon Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area. Founded in the very early 90s after the fourth Large Installation System Administration (LISA) conference, BayLISA has supported and educated systems, network, storage, virtualization, and other technology professionals in the Bay Area for over 20 years.
We use Meetup to coordinate meeting attendance, announcements, and reminders. We have our official organizational presence on the web, including links to membership, sponsorship, and mailing lists, at www.baylisa.org.
Our legacy description:
One way to put it is that there are many user groups, but we are the sysadmins group. BayLISA includes system and network administrators across a range of skill levels. BayLISA meets monthly to discuss topics of interest to administrators and managers of sites supporting more than 100 users and/or computers. The meetings are free and open to the public.
BayLISA grew out of an after-hours discussion among attendees of the USENIX LISA IV conference. The idea was to provide a forum for Sysadmin professionals in the San Francisco Bay area to get together and exchange ideas, hear speakers address topics of interest and most importantly, socialize.
BayLISA stands for: Bay Area Large Installation System Administrators

See all- Pkl your config! Intro to Pkl, the programmable, scalable & safe config languageCisco Building 11, San Jose, CA
Pkl is a programmable configuration language that was recently open-sourced by Apple. It blends together the declarative nature of static languages with the expressivity and safety of a statically typed programming language. The presentation will demonstrate how Pkl can superpower your configuration with its type safety and rich ecosystem of tooling.
This will be an in-person event, so come join us if you can, but we will also livestream the event. URL for the stream will be posted shortly before we start.
