💥BREAKING NEWS: #LOPSA, the hilariously self-important society of professional button-pushers, is folding like a cheap lawn chair. Apparently, the riveting world of bylaws and board minutes wasn't enough to keep the nerd masses entertained. 🎉✨

LOPSA Board Seeks to Dissolve Organization — AMA July 29th

Someone who follows my holiday #Halloween antics, who I mostly know from #LOPSA and #LISA conferences, called me "the Santa Claus of Halloween", which... Feels like it fits.

Taking a stroll down Memory Lane today, I was telling a coworker about all the people I'd met and became friends with through conferences like #LISA and organizations like #LOPSA

There are a *lot* of really cool people I met over the years from just those interactions. Y'all know who you are!

If anyone is interested in volunteering at one or all of the #openSUSE, #KDE, #LOPSA or #NextCloud booths at #scale21x in #PasadenaCA (dates of the event are March 14 - 17), please DM me. No experience required!

I'm looking for someone to give at the LOPSA LA Meetup we're planning for May 10th in Downtown Long Beach? If you're interested, hit me up and lets talk!

So, a question was raised at a work meeting today. I don't seem to know of awards or acknowledgements for sysadmins, linux admins, networking folks, HPC. Maybe someone from #usenix or #LOPSA might know of some?

Is anyone a member of #LOPSA?

What are the benefits of being a member?

Is it work the money?

@nomad Not seeing a lot of discussion in #lopsa, so wanted to make sure I didn't miss it.

@beegrrl You say that and yet this came up on #lopsa (irc.lopsa.org) today. Much consternation was had by all.

@jerephil @thegibson Please feel free to post this on the sajobs mailing list for #lopsa and the members - at - sasag.org mailing lists.

@mike IRC is still quite useful. #lopsa is very active on irc.lopsa.org. I encourage any sysadmin or IT support professional to join us there.

The year is almost out, but there is still some time left to make a donation to LOPSA! Because we are a non-profit, you can write off the donation on your taxes in the US. Don’t let the opportunity pass! Click the Donate button on LOPSA.org and make it happen before the year-end. Thanks to everyone who has ever donated, and a super big thanks to those who have donated in 2018. I hope everyone had a great holiday season and has a great New Year.
