Dear Colleague
The submission deadline for the 20th Large Installation System
Administration Conference (LISA �06) is approaching. Please submit your
work by May 23, 2006.
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

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.[redacted]
