LOPSA-NJ - Disaster Recovery, Crisis Management, Leadership and Responsibility2010-02-04 19:00 2010-02-04 21:30 US/Eastern As sysadmin I worked in state of continuous disaster recovery for three years; I did this in countries that I had never before visited, and in situations that could be extremely stressful. I'd like to pass on what I've learned from my mistakes and my successes to a wider audience. When I first started working as a sysadmin, I had enlisted in the United States Air Force as a Computer Systems Operator (3C0X1). It happened that I was assigned to the 1st Combat Communications Squadron (1CBCS) in Germany. Over the next three years I would participate in 30 exercises and several real-world missions. What a way to start a career. calendar | 200 reads
Please Help Shawn PowersShawn Powers, fellow sysadmin, instructor for LOPSA at the Ohio LinuxFest '09, FOSS enthusiast, podcaster, editor for the Linux Journal, and really nifty person, lost his house on Sunday, Jan 17th. Fortunately he, his wife and three daughters are safe, but they lost all belongings and their pets. Shawn's colleagues at the Linux Journal have set up the means to contribute cash, compputers, and toys and smaller electronics for the kids (all "tweens"). If you can, please help. Thank you. 161 reads

LOPSA Live December 2009 TranscriptAttached is the transcript of the December 2009 LOPSA Live session. My (pckizer) apologies for the delay in getting it posted; holiday activities and my forgetfulness colluded to lead to my lapse in posting. This was a short session we expect due to the already mentioned holiday prep on the part of many people. Volunteers and participants for SCALE are still requested as well as a pre-announcement of plans for a NJ event this coming year. Our new Executive Director, MaryBeth Kurland, was with us to be introduced as Deepa has an opportunity in a direction that takes her from primary but will still let her be available in Association Headquarters. read more | 331 reads | 1 attachment

Luke S. Crawford wins 2009 Chuck Yerkes AwardThe Chuck Yerkes Award is presented annually in recognition of outstanding individual contributions in online forums over the past year. It was created after Chuck Yerkes' untimely death in 2004 to memorialize the mentorship he provided countless system administrators through his helpful and accurate posts to system administration mailing lists. Each year, an awards committee selects someone who followed Chuck's example in the prior year in their contributions to system administration online forums—whether mailing lists, web forums, or chat rooms. The LOPSA awards committee presents the 2009 Chuck Yerkes Award to Luke S. Crawford. Luke's writing has shown the patience, insight, and helpfulness that we should all strive to emulate in providing mentorship online. LOPSA is pleased to present this award and congratulates Luke on this recognition from the community. 944 reads
