FEBRUARY 2013
2012 ended with a bang here at USENIX. LISA ’12, which took place December 9-14, 2012, in San Diego, CA, included a Keynote Address from Vint Cerf, training on some of the hottest technologies in the sysadmin and devops arenas, and several opportunities to network with peers and influencers during the evening receptions, BoFs, and Poster Session.
