The good folks at USENIX are hosting the 23rd annual LISA (Large Installation System Administration Conference) this year in Baltimore, Maryland November 1-6.
I hope you can join us there... We have quite a few Solaris topics and we'll be showcasing some of our leading OS technologies like Solaris Networking, ZFS, Solaris Cluster, our built-in virtualization technologies including LDOMs, Solaris Containers and the like.
Our Solaris System Administration Training and Certification folks will also be on hand with the latest updates on courses and certification paths.
You'll also want to meet Rick Ramsey, the creative force behind BigAdmin, the definitive source for Solaris and Sun system administrators. Get your latest tips and tricks here and earn BigAdmin bucks for submitting your content.
We'll have some of the latest Solaris administration books there to hand out to lucky folks who take our surveys -- Solaris System Administration Essentials, Solaris 10 Security Essentials, Solaris Internals and Solaris Performance and Tools as well as some of our OpenSolaris titles -- OpenSolaris Bible and Pro OpenSolaris.
On November 3 we'll also be hosting the Solaris Security Summit. Come hear our crack team of security experts and get the latest updates on Solaris security features. Register for this free event. Walk-ins will also be welcome.

We're busy cranking on OpenSolaris community content for CommunityOne West... only 3 weeks to go. If you're in the San Francisco Bay area on June 1 please register and drop by to see us.
On Monday, June 1, we'll be hosting two OpenSolaris tracks -- Developing on OpenSolaris and Managing OpenSolaris -- and on Tuesday, June 2, we'll be hosting two deep dive sessions -- Develop in OpenSolaris and Deploying OpenSolaris in Your Datacenter.
At the CommunityOne/JavaOne Pavilion vendor area you can also see several cool OpenSolaris demos staffed by OpenSolaris technical folks as well as comfy couches to hang out on in the OpenSolaris install lounge.
Be sure to join us Monday night for the OpenSolaris party. Rumors are flying about a dodgeball tournament, martini luge and live music. Should be fun!
Here's a great overview of the OpenSolaris events @ CommunityOne.
