Conference Organization BoF at LISA

Hey, everyone -- I'm organizing a BoF at LISA this year on conference organization. For a couple of years, I've wanted to create a local conference on system administration here in Vancouver, but I've been unsure how to start. I figure what better place to brainstorm and seek advice than at LISA?

So if you have questions or knowledge to share on:

• Scheduling talks and getting speakers
• Technical and organizational requirements
• Finding volunteers and sponsors
• Figuring out a budget (or "Just how far does this shoestring have to stretch?")

then drop on by the Dover C room on Thursday, November 5th, between 8:30 and 9:30pm. C'mon, you've gotta kill that hour before Matt's BoFs somehow...
