In other news, the BSDCan 2012 call for papers just came out. I?m going to assume that I?ll be coordinating volunteers again, so if you are interested, let me know.

On behalf of the LISA '12 organizers, I invite you to submit your ideas. The Call for Participation (CFP), with submission guidelines and sample topics, can be found on the USENIX Web site at: http://www.usenix.org/lisa12/cfpa/ The annual LISA conference is the meeting place of choice for system administrators, IT architects, and IT engineers. The conference provides a rich mix of technical training by industry experts, dynamic talks that inspire attendees to think beyond today, panel discussions for debate of current issues, ask-the-expert guru sessions, and presentations by people like you who introduce the next generation of methods and solutions. The conference's diverse participants are matched by an equally broad spectrum of activities: * Refereed papers are written papers, 8 to 18 pages long, that describe work that advances the art or practice of system administration. * Practice and experience reports are compelling system administration stories that share useful lessons with the audience. * New this year! We include a review and response period for authors of papers and practice and experience reports (PERs) to provide better transparency in the review process and to increase authors' chances of acceptance into the conference. Authors of refereed papers and PERs can use this period to answer questions from reviewers and address any misconceptions about their submissions. * Talks are 30- or 60-minute presentations by experts on a single topic of interest to system administrators. * Guru sessions: Q&A with an expert! Are you a guru? Share your expertise with your fellow system administrators and answer questions from the audience. * Lightning talks are high-energy 5-minute talks on any topic related to system administration. Have more than one idea? Sign up to give more than one. * Poster session: This is your chance to get feedback from your peers on research that may not be ready for formal publication. * Workshops are interactive half-day or full-day sessions that encourage small group discussion and idea sharing on specific system administration topics. * The training program offers tutorials that are also half-day or full-day sessions, but, unlike workshops, tutorials are generally intended for an instructor to share knowledge, not to be open discussions. * Birds-of-a-Feather sessions (BoFs) are informal gatherings held in the evenings. BoF groups range from users of particular software packages or products, through those interested in discussing current problems or issues, to people interested in a particular aspect of computing. LISA '12 takes place December 9-14, 2012, in San Diego, CA. We look forward to hearing from you!
