Register for Sysadmin Days!

All it takes is one good mentor... Find yours at SysAdmin Days 2007

August 6-7, Cherry Hill, NJ.

Sysadmin Days is a two-day training event for system administrators. We have a great program, with a variety of topics of importance to busy sysadmins. Classes are designed to both give you immediate take-home knowledge and information to assess your overall system administration strategy in key areas.

http://lopsa.org/SysadminDays

Please also help us get the word out to other system administrators -- see http://lopsa.org/SysadminDays/word for web buttons/banners and ideas for helping us publicize this event.

System Administrator Appreciation Day is coming soon!

"The Day" is only a few weeks away, and there are still opportunities to volunteer!

Here's the entire to-do list. Some of these items could be "knocked out"
in a day or so; others will take more time.

On the sysadmin/web content side we need:

* photo gallery and/or Flickr integration
* international chapter listing and index page
* merchandise/buy page via CafePress

On the graphics art area we need:

* NEW BANNERS and link buttons
* new site theme (optional)
* new logo (if possible)

For written content, we need:

* a short history of sysadmin day
(Ted is available to provide the info)
* 1 page flyer for posting (PDF) - color AND B/W
* press release and backgrounder

Thanks to everyone who volunteered to translate the info into everything
from Russian to Chinese and Spanish. As soon as we've got some content,
you'll be hearing from Tom!

If you can volunteer even a few hours, please send email directly to tep@lopsa.org
