[ale] [OffTopic] LOPSA Atlanta Chapter

Thu Jun 27 11:42:20 EDT 2013

Already a LOPSA member here, so....  Yeah.

Went to the LISA conference in San Diego this year and had a blast.

Great org, great people.  Trying to figure out on the IRC/Mailing List
lately whether the blast radius from Snowden will affect the Sysadmin
community when the clueless congresscritters get their hands on it in the
future, and whether we need a PAC armed and ready to go when that happens.

Good times.
