FYI: LISA 2001 (call for papers is out)

Folks, the call for papers for LISA 2001 is out.  LISA is
the premier conference for our kind of sysadmin; in San
Diego, in December...  Papers and stuff due early June...

Needless to say, the whole thing is playing into the Arusha
Project's hands :-)  Consider the tag line and this snippet
from the first para of the c.f.p:

   "Managing the virtual computer communities of the 21st
   century"
   
   For fifteen years, LISA conferences have been the leading
   forum for system administrators to meet, learn, and
   exchange ideas on every aspect of computer and network
   management. Today, the need for LISA has never been
   clearer, as networks grow and large computer systems are
   ever more apparent, not in monolithic form, but as
   societies of smaller systems, cooperating towards common
   goals.

(See?)  Currently, I have a faint intention of doing a
general Arusha paper (cooperation welcome).  If any of you
are thinking of some take-Arusha-and-run-with-it scheme, a
LISA paper might make a good "driver" for getting your
ideas/code together...

(San Diego in December sounds very good to Scotland in
January.)
