--------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Colleague,

The LISA '04 program committee invites you to contribute your ideas,
papers, and proposals for the technical session's refereed papers
track, invited talks, panels, Guru Is In sessions and Work-in-Progress
reports.

The Call for Participation with submission guidelines and sample
topics is now available on the USENIX Web site at
      http://www.usenix.org/lisa04/cfpa/

The annual LISA conference is the meeting place of choice for system,
network, database, and other computing administrators.
Administrators of all specialties and levels of expertise meet at
LISA to exchange ideas, sharpen skills, learn new techniques,
debate current issues, and meet colleagues and friends.

People representing every work assignment, from the full-time position
at a large site to the part-time one at a small shop, come to LISA
from over 30 countries, bringing divergent backgrounds and experience
levels to the conference dedicated to them. System and network
administrators from environments as diverse as academia, large
corporations and small businesses, government organizations, and
research sites find LISA to be The Place to go for training,
education, networking, and interacting with their peers.

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

* Training sessions for both beginners and experienced attendees
 cover many administrative topics, ranging from basic administrative
 procedures to using cutting-edge technologies.

* Technical sessions present the latest developments and ideas related
 to system and network administration.

* Invited talks and panels discuss important and timely topics and
 often spark lively debates and conversation.

* Work-in-progress reports (WiPs) provide brief peeks at next year's
 innovations.

GET INVOLVED!
* Submit an extended abstract for a refereed paper.
* Suggest an invited talk speaker or a panel discussion topic.
* Share your experience by leading a Guru Is In session.
* Propose a tutorial topic.
* Organize or suggest a Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) session.
* Email an idea to the chair.
