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.

Check out the complete list of Solaris activities including some great Solaris training hosted by USENIX.

We'll be in booths 100-104 in the Vendor Exhibit area... please drop by and introduce yourself.
