Tonight's LOPSA-NJ Chapter meeting
Tonight's topic is "What's the biggest problem in system administration?"What's the biggest problem facing system administrators? Is it the vendors? The managers? The tools? Is it us? (nah, it couldn't be us! Must be the tools). Scaling? The inconsistant syntax of Perl? It probably isn't any one thing.
I will be facilitating group discussion. Hopefully we'll learn something about our technology and ourselves.

Submit your talk proposals to PICC today!
(PICC is a regional sysadmin conference to be held in central NJ on May
7-8, 2010. I'm on the planning committee. http://picconf.org)
Today is the deadline for proposals for papers, talks, and such.
We're a little low on submissions so I'd like to make one more "beg". We'd love to have a talk about PHP for sysadmins, something fun you've done with Arduino, your favorite JS
library, a walk-through on setting up Google Apps. Demo your favorite open source project, or propose a panel of people to talk about something you find interesting (I can help find others for your panel). It is an excellent way to spread the word about a project you are involved with.
We've tried to make the proposal process really easy. Just send your
contact info and topic plus a 1-2 paragraph description to
submissions@lopsanj.org
For more info IM me and/or view:

P.S. Today is the deadline but we can grant extensions to anyone that writes and asks.
