USENIX Blog

When Matt Simmons recruited me to join the Blog Team for LISA10, I a young sysadmin who had recently outgrown the small department where I worked. I had scattershot experience and no real sense of connection to the community. That week in San Jose was a firehose of knowledge and networking. There was more content than I could possibly attend in a six-day span.
