The LISA Conference – My Favorite Time of the Year

The USENIX LISA Conference convenes once again this week, this time in Washington, DC. I always enjoy this conference – those in attendance are top notch sysadmins and IT gurus. This will mark my 3rd time at LISA, and my first in a non-west coast setting (it rotates between eastern and western US venues).

Hyperic will have a booth there, #508, and the exhibit hours are Wednesday, December 6, noon – 7pm and Thursday, December 7, 10 am – 2 pm. To kick things off, there will be a birds-of-a-feather meeting on Tuesday, December 5, at 7pm, titled “Systems Management is Dead, Long Live Systems Management Consortiums”. Representatives from both the OMC, as well as the COSMOS Project, will be in attendance for an informal discussion with real, live sysadmins – the ones whose jobs are affected by all of this talk about open source collaboration.

If you are headed to LISA, please do look us up.
