LISA 09 Coverage

Just a quick post tonight.

As a sysadmin the LISA conference is one of the few events I would go to every year, if I could. I was able to attend my first last year in San Diego, but sadly, this year it takes place in Baltimore. Between distance, budgets, and life, it was not an option for me.

But, that doesn’t mean I haven’t been able to follow along from Los Angeles.

I thought I’d highlight some of the ways I’ve followed along so far.

The first is, of course, Twitter. Most of the people tweeting from LISA are using the #lisa09 hashtag. So searching for this, or if you use a client like Tweetdeck, adding it as a saved search is a good way to get a minute by minute glimpse.

Matt Simmons has been posting excellent daily summaries on the Usenix Blog and I believe is an official LISA blogger. There are also other posts by authors I’m not so familiar with.

There is a live stream of the Technical Sessions, but I have not been able to watch those so far.

All in all, LISA 09 appears to be off to a great start, I’m looking forward to downloading slide decks and MP3s of talks as the conference draws to a close and am already making plans to try and attend LISA ‘10 in San Jose.
