For anyone who is a member of SAGE, the elections for a new board of
directors is this weekend. If you are a member, please cast your vote.
It is important for the continuation of the organization.
I’ve duplicated part of the announcement below and you can read the
candidate statements on the main SAGE page.
The SAGE Leadership Committee has completed fielding a list of
candidates for the new SAGE Board, formally known as the Board of The
System Administrators Guild, Incorporated. The election is scheduled to
take place electronically, beginning on June 17th, 2005, closing 17:00
PDT June 24th 2005.
It’s June, we are almost halfway into the new year, and things haven’t
changed too much. We still don’t have many new topics, many new people,
and Ottawa is still in a very slow recovery mode. This month, I hope to
at least talk about the
open filer, that I
mentioned last month.
Same bat time, same bat channel. Look at the
meeting link
I finally got around to upgrading to the latest version of the software.
There may be a few items broken/missing, as some of the modules I was
using supposedly are not compatible. Any discrepancies should get ironed
out over the next couple of days.
May meeting is fast approaching. Hopefully we will have a little
discussion regarding the upcomming LPI exams, and a little discussion
regarding a couple of storage technoogies, ATAoE and OpenFiler.

Meeting Info link.
It’s that time again…
Welcome to April. We are having a meeting this Thursday, April 21 at the
Altera Technology Center as usual. It seems that none of the prior
topics have panned out as expected, so this month, something that might
be of broader interest: digital copyright law. There are a number of
things that can be discussed, one of which is the potential Canadian
modification of the copyright laws and allowing for serious privacy
infringements. The current minister of heritage is bowing to pressure
from the CRIA and these changes could appear as soon as June this year.
This is not the first time that this has raised it’s head, and it may
not be the last.
