LISA '09, the 23rd annual Large Installation System Administration
Conference; sponsored by USENIX & SAGE (in cooperation with LOPSA and
SNIA). November 1 - 6, 2009 in Baltimore, MD.
There's still time to register for LISA '09!
On-line registration closes Monday, October 26th at 12:00 PDT. Please
note, however, that the discount hotel rate ($185) is guaranteed only
through Monday the 19th.
There are lots of great reasons to come to LISA '09 . . .
Tutorials
Solaris DTrace, Virtualization, ZFS, advanced nagios, and the
ever-popular Over the Edge System Administration. Many of these are
taught by the authors/inventors of the tools -- people like Tobias
Oetiker, James Mauro, and Mark Burgess).

or related group of topics, discussing, debating, and learning from
each other

Technical Program
Refereed papers (including nuclear launch-style sysadmin), Invited
Talks (Google Wave, the Planck Space Based Telescope), and The
Guru Is In sessions (Zenoss, nagios/unnoc, Splunk, and data
centers).

The "Hallway Track"
A chance to spend a few minutes or a few hours talking to other
sysadmins, in an environment where no one will think you're "geeking
out" on them.
There's still plenty of room in the workshops, and in most of the
tutorials; sign up today and guarantee your seat.

Please note: There have been some problems with the on-line hotel
reservation system. If you are unable to get the conference rate using
the hotel's web site, please call the hotel and a live person will help
you.
We know that money is tight this year, and that many companies have
shrunk or even cut their travel budgets. However, training and
professional development help your employer as well as you. Remind your
boss LISA isn't some cushy junket, but rather, 3 - 6 days that are jam-
packed with practically every sysadmin topic under the sun. There's no
better place to give your career a boost!
I look forward to seeing you in Baltimore!

Program Chair, LISA '09
