LISA: Where systems engineering and operations professionals share real-world knowledge about designing, building, and maintaining the critical systems of our interconnected world.
The LISA conference has long served as the annual vendor-neutral meeting place for the wider system administration community. The LISA14 program recognized the overlap and differences between traditional and modern IT operations and engineering, and developed a highly-curated program around 5 key topics: Systems Engineering, Security, Culture, DevOps, and Monitoring/Metrics. The program included 22 half- and full-day training sessions; 10 workshops; and a conference program consisting of 50 invited talks, panels, refereed paper presentations, and mini-tutorials.
Garrett Honeycutt has been hacking *nix based systems and spreading the merits of open source software for over 15 years.

Previously he has worked on such things as building core internet infrastructure for an ISP, creating mobile media distribution platforms, and as a Professional Services Engineer with Puppet Labs helping customers around the world with Puppet, DevOps processes, and project management and as the Puppet Architect at Ericsson in Stockholm where he coordinated with and mentored those writing Puppet code for their global R&D sites supporting over 30k developers.
