[BBLISA-announce] Looking for a January BBLISA Speaker

[John P. Rouillard]

Hi all:

Sadly Adam and I have both reached into our holiday bags for a speaker
and have come up empty.

So does anybody have a topic they would be interested in presenting in
January? All topics are open, and this is a great chance to develop
your presentation skills in a friendly environment.

Also what things would people like to see covered in the next 12
months?

Some ideas I have heard, gotten positive feedback on are:

  useful CD-ROM/usb tooklits

  network provisioning using syslinux/pxe

  how to design a useful issue tracking system

  basic project management for the sys admin (or how I learned
    to tolerate the Gantt chart)

  ZFS - why, how and who cares

  ITIL, lean and metrics a big waste of time or the
      way to more effective sysadmin
  
  Mindmapping the sysadmin experience
  
All thoughts welcome.
