[ale] Fwd: Mention LISA Conference

I think that this conference should be of interest to many of our members, and 
I was asked so politely, so I'm forwarding it on the the list.

Hi Michael:

We're holding our LISA (Large Installation System Administration)
conference in Atlanta this year: November 14-19.  Can you mention the
conference at the meeting?

See the online conference announcement below, Also, there are gif
buttons and a pdf flyer for the conference at:

http://www.usenix.org/events/lisa04/promote.html

Are there other mechanisms we can use to get the message out to your
membership?  We'd also like to spread the word in the greater Atlanta
area overall: are there other local groups (user groups, ACM chapters,
corporations, universities etc.) I should be trying to contact?

Or let me know if I'm being harassing.

Thanks for any reply, -Peter

LISA comes to Atlanta November 14-19.  As always, the breadth and
quality of this years tutorials, refereed papers, invited talks, and

Observeability, and Debugging

Filderman, Gerald Carter and Yi-Mon Wang will present cutting-edge
issues in topics such as:

o  Looking at both symptom and state information for configuration
faults

o  Electronic Presidential Campaigning and the lessons learned
o  How spammers are circumventing Bayesian filtering
o  Information Security Laws
o  Grid Computing

Birds-of-a-Feather sessions and Work-in-Progress reports give you a
preview of next year's news, or present fledgling work of your own and
