Fyi folks,
Last year I served as co-chair for this conference (LISA-NT).
It provides a very good outlet for letting others know some
of the extremely interesting sysadmin stuff you people are
doing. And because you run Samba I know you using Windows
clients in some fashion. :-)
This year's conference is in Seattle, Washington, USA,
from July 30 - August 2. Should be a very good program
with respect to technical content. I really believe
some of you could offer a lot of input with regards to
NT administration, deployment and integration.
The deadline for paper proposals is February 16 (that
gives you about one month). This deadline does **not**
require a completed paper. Just an abstract and proposal
is fine. The original call for papers is at
http://www.usenix.org/events/lisa-nt2000/cfp/
Here's a blurb about the conference itself...
> LISA-NT 2000 will bring together peers and experts in our
> field to discuss leading edge solutions that have a proven track
> record of working. LISA-NT is put together by and for
> Windows NT administrators who need solutions to problems
> such as integration, migration, security, and management using
> today's technology. We invite you to submit technical papers as
> well as proposals for invited talks, panel sessions, tutorials,
> and work-in-progress reports. There are also opportunities for
> Birds-of-a-Feather sessions and demonstrations of products
> and solutions. Please review this call for papers, prepare a
> submission, and join us in making LISA-NT 2000 the premiere
> conference for system administrators of distributed NT-based
> environments.
If you have any specific questions regarding logistics,
etc..., send mail to <lisantchairs@usenix.org>
btw...I have presented two papers in the past involving
Samba and Windows NT. If you want to see them as
examples, the URL's are
