Yes, it's true. The SAGE Blog is back. We'll be bringing you announcements of sysadmin events as well as guest bloggers, tips and tricks, and a few sneak peaks of upcoming booklets.

Now up on the blog, the first in a 3-part series on monitoring tools by guest blogger and ;login: author, Matthew Sacks.

Check it out today!

This year's LISA '08 conference will include a poster session. This is an opportunity to display a poster describing recent work. The posters will be on display during the conference, and fixed times will be advertised when authors should be present to discuss their work with anyone who is interested. This provides a very good opportunity to make contact with other people who may be interested in the same area. Student posters, practitioners sharing their experiences, and submissions from open source communities are particularly welcome.
