The LISA '08 organizers invite you to contribute proposals
for refereed papers, invited talks, and workshops, plus
any ideas you have for Guru Is In sessions, the Hit the
Ground Running track, Work-in-Progress Reports, posters,
and training sessions.

The theme for LISA '08 is "Real World System Administration."

The Call for Participation with submission guidelines
and sample topics can be found on the USENIX Web site at
 http://www.usenix.org/lisa08/cfpa

Since 1987, the annual LISA conference has become the
premier meeting place for professional system and network
administrators.  System administrators of all ranks, from
novice to veteran, and of all specialties meet to exchange
ideas, sharpen skills, learn new techniques, debate current
issues, and mingle with colleagues and friends.

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

 * A training program for both beginners and experienced
   attendees covers many administrative topics, ranging
   from basic administrative procedures to using
   cutting-edge technologies.

 * Refereed papers present the latest developments and
   ideas related to system and network administration.

 * Workshops, invited talks, and panels discuss important
   and timely topics in depth and typically include lively
   and/or controversial debates and audience interaction.

 * Work-in-Progress Reports (WiPs) and poster sessions
   provide brief looks ahead to next year's innovations.

GET INVOLVED!
 * Submit a draft paper or extended abstract proposal
    for a refereed paper.
 * Propose a tutorial topic.
 * Suggest an invited talk or panel discussion.
 * Share your experience by leading a Guru Is In session.
 * Create and lead a workshop.
 * Propose a short Hit the Ground Running presentation.
 * Present a Work-in-Progress Report (WiP) or submit a poster.
 * Organize a Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) session.
 * Email an idea to the program chair:  lisa08ideas at usenix.org

We look forward to hearing from you!
