Systems Administration
| Project: | http://sysadmin.miniconf.org/ | ||||
The Systems Administration Miniconf focuses on tips, tricks, tools, and best practices used to manage real-world Linux environments both large and small. Attendees of this Miniconf improve their ability to manage their Linux systems environment both now and in the future. The aim is to provide talks directly useful to professional Linux systems administrators.
The Miniconf has been held at the 2006 and 2008-2012 Linux.conf.au conferences, and will be run in a similar manner at Linux.Conf.au 2013. More information, including presentation slides and recordings from previous years, is available at the Miniconf website: http://sysadmin.miniconf.org/.
