Dear Colleague
The LISA '06 organizers invite you to contribute proposals for refereed
papers, invited talks, and workshops, plus any ideas you have for Guru
Is In sessions, Work-in-Progress reports, and training sessions.
The Call for Participation with submission guidelines and sample topics
can be found on the USENIX Web site at http://www.usenix.org/lisa06/cfpa
The annual LISA conference is the meeting place of choice for system,
network, security, and other computing administrators. Administrators of
all specialties and levels of expertise meet at LISA to exchange ideas,
sharpen skills, learn new techniques, debate current issues, and meet
colleagues and friends.
People representing every work assignment from the full-time position at
a large site to the part-time one at a small shop come to LISA from over
30 countries, bringing a variety of backgrounds and experience levels to
the conference dedicated to them. System and network administrators from
environments as diverse as academia, large corporations, small
businesses, government organizations, and research sites find LISA to be
the place to go for training, education, networking, and interacting
with their peers.
The conference's diverse group of participants is matched by an equally
broad spectrum of activities:
* Training sessions for both beginners and experienced attendees cover
many administrative topics ranging from basic administrative procedures
to using cutting-edge technologies.
* Refereed papers present the latest developments and ideas related to
system and network administration.
* Invited talks and panels discuss important and timely topics and often
spark lively debates and conversation.
* Work-in-progress reports (WiPs) provide brief peeks at next year's
innovations.
GET INVOLVED!
* Submit a draft paper or extended abstract proposal for a refereed
paper.
* Suggest an invited talk speaker.
* Share your experience by leading a Guru Is In session.
* Propose a training session topic.
* Organize or suggest a Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) session.
* Email an idea to the chair: lisa06ideas@usenix.org
