Hey All,
We need your help planning and staffing a regional conference of System
Administrators. The goal of this conference is to build a community of
system administrators which extends the network of expertise beyond the
workplace. The emphasis will be on shared culture, experience and
teaching. Our goal is to build communities with formal and informal
levels of trust. The conference will be co-sponsored by SASAG and LOPSA.
We would appreciate your help. Please volunteer for a committee and/or
make suggestions for new committees, changes to committees or tasks that
ought to be added. Just reply indicating the committees/activities to
which you would like to contribute your time and effort.
