GVSAGE FAQ's of LoPSA USENIX About LoPSA Technical Conferences | Top 2008 Conferences  |
Mission | TopGVSAGE is dedicated to furthering the System Administration Profession in the Genesee Valley AreaThe goal of GVSAGE is to allow system administrators in the Rochester, New York area a chance to meet on a somewhat regular basis to exchange tips, talk to peers, share experiences and socialize. We hope to provide an informal support network for professional systems administrators, supply some faces to go with names seen on the net, bring in expert speakers on topics of common interest (information security, privacy requirements, IPv6, etc.) and perhaps just have a bit of fun (where else can you tell a joke with the punch line "They spent the rest of the day trying to get gifs from 127.0.0.1"). Who should Join?(Attend our Next Meeting.)People who administer computer systems. Traditionally, SAGE has focused on support of UNIX systems, but as environments have grown, Windows NT has been thrust into many UNIX worlds, as UNIX has popped up in Windows NT worlds. Networking provides a common thread across platforms (if you have a single machine with no connections to other machines, this may not be for you).... Additionally, we worry about providing support that scales to larger quantities of machines and users. We search for tools that a person running a single machine may not be interested in. We are attempting to fill the role of a SAGE-Local group as defined by the Systems Administrators Guild (SAGE), as part of the USENIX organization. USENIX is best know for the annual USENIX conference, and with SAGE, co-sponsors the annual Large Scale Systems Administration (LISA) conference. We also participate in local Conferences such as the B2B Tech Expo. If you administer other kinds of systems (MVS, VMS, Novell, etc.), we may not have as much to offer you. However, many computer issues (privacy, security policies, computer crime, network configuration) will transcend operating systems and may be of interest. Many topics will still apply to you (but some may not interest you). You might want to have one person in your organization join. Remember, system administration topics normally are of concern no matter what platform you primarily support. How to Join | TopShow up at a meeting! Send me an email! Join the Mailing list! We (intentionally!-) have no charter, no bylaws, and no membership dues.
