*   LISA '03: 

    Despite raging wildfires and smoke-filled courtyards, LISA '03 in
    San Diego emerged as a very successful conference.  Over 1,100

    keynote by EBay's Paul Kilmartin, director of availability and
    engineering; a popular SPAM mini-symposium; and an entertaining
    Halloween party.  Special thanks to all the attendees and speakers
    who braved unfavorable conditions to make this year's conference a
    success.  Summaries of the conference will be published in the
    February issue of ;login:.  Conference proceedings are now available
