It's almost here! The submission deadline for the 26th Large
Installation System Administration Conference (LISA '12) is less than a
month away. Please submit your abstracts and proposals by May 17, 2012.

The Call for Participation (CFP), with submission guidelines and sample
topics, can be found on the USENIX Web site at:

   http://www.usenix.org/lisa12/

The annual LISA conference is the meeting place of choice for system
administrators, IT architects, and IT engineers. The conference provides
a rich mix of technical training by industry experts, dynamic talks that
inspire attendees to think beyond today, panel discussions for debate
of current issues, ask-the-expert guru sessions, and presentations by
people like you who introduce the next generation of methods and
solutions.

The conference's diverse participants are matched by an equally
broad spectrum of activities:

* Refereed papers

* Practice and experience reports

* New this year! We include a review and response period for authors of
papers and practice and experience reports (PERs) to provide better
transparency in the review process and to increase authors' chances of
acceptance into the conference.
