For those who are unaware, the LISA 2010 conference registration has been opened.
Visit the Usenix event page for detailed information and to register.
For the unknowing or uninformed, LISA is the big annual System Administration conference sponsored by Usenix. LOPSA has a hand in there as well.
If you are really going to make this a career and not just a job, you should attend one of these conferences. Words do not really describe the experience, ask Kelly some time.
