Dear NC*SA Members and System Admin Friends,

 The North Carolina System Administrators (NC*SA) will start a new series
 of workshop meetings from April: System Administrators Survival Series.
 (SASS).

 The SASS will focus on the most addressed topics reflected from
 our recent online survey. Involvements from the audience
 at the meeting will be required to enhance the specifics of the
 system administrations.

 Speaker: NC*SA Members and Guests.
 Date: April 28th, Monday
 Time: Evening 7-9pm
 Location: UNC-TV Auditorium (Directions - at the end of this message)

 As the first SASS meeting, we will try to setup a crossfire battle field
 at NC*SA. The superposed topic is : Outsourcing.
 We will need to have the audience separated into four groups.
 Here is how it works:

 The Corporation Group
 This group needs to address the any possible issues, such as cost, etc.,
 to support outsourcing;

 The System Administrators Group
 This group represents the system admin who really need the job
 here at the corp either as the employee or contractor;

 The Anti-Outsource Group
 This group is against any outsource action period.

 The Judge Group
 This group will design the policies and rules, monitoring
 and hosting the crossfire.

 Please join us to have a fun at this first SysAdmin Survival Series.

 Please keep in mind that you will be assigned to a group if you
 did not pre-select any group or did not do any homework.

 Free Pizza diner will be served right at the middle of the crossfire
 when we call for a "Cease Fire".

 Our next SASS topic is "PCI Protection".
