'''To Upcoming Assurance Events - ''' '''[[Events/UpcomingEvents|Upcoming Events]]''' - '''To Past Assurance Events -''' '''[[Events/PastEvents|Past Events]]''' ---- = LISA 2010 = == The 24th Large Installation System Administration Conference == '''When:''' {{{#!wiki Sunday 7 to Friday 12th November 2010 }}} '''Where:''' {{{#!wiki San Jose, CA }}} '''Homepage:''' http://www.usenix.org/events/lisa10/ '''BoF event:''' There is a [[https://wiki.cacert.org/events/LISA2010|CAcert BoF (Birds of a Feather) session]] scheduled for Tuesday evening 9 Nov 2010 at 9:00pm in the Blossom Hill room of the San Jose Marriott Hotel. Open to all. No badge or USENIX membership is required. ---- '''Concept:''' LISA '10 conference will uncover the secrets of system administration through top-notch training, innovative research, Practice and Experience Reports, and that all-important face time with others confronting the same challenges you battle every day. ---- '''Presentation:''' I have a slide presentation that I will use to begin the session. I have updated the slides that I used last year. The slides will educate and inform those interested in joining and possibly becoming an assurer with CAcert. It includes discussion of whole assurance process, the points system, the Assurer's Challenge and where to look for additional information. Those who attend wanting to be assurered are asked to visit the [[https://www.cacert.org/|CAcert web site]] and join CAcert (create an account) before the event. There is a "Join CAcert" selection on the top right of the web page. When you complete the registration form, please be sure the name you use matches the ID documents you will bring to the Event. You will need to review the community agreement to complete your registration. They can then print out several copies of the WoT form. You will want one form for each assurance. The WoT form will have your name and such already entered. There will be a few qualified assurers at the event. Please bring one (or preferably two) forms of ID with you. Government issued photo IDs are recommended. With just two assurances (min. 50 points), you can collect enough points for a CAcert X.509 certificate with your name and e-mail tied to it. You will need at least three assurances in order to collect enough points (100) to become an assurer yourself. Once you earn enough points to begin doing assurances, you can gain experience by assuring those of us who assure you. Doing cross-assurances is a very effective training method and it is encouraged at such events. While it is not necessary that you register and print out forms in advance of the event, it is highly recommended. I will have blank forms available at the event. Of course all are welcome to simply sit in on the presentation to learn more about CAcert. Please feel free to contact me (KenSchumacher) if you need any additional information prior to the event. I ask that any qualified assurers who can attend the event, please contact KenSchumacher or add your information in the table below. Assurers are encouraged to bring several WoT forms with their own information pre-printed so that our new assurers can gain experience by assuring you. ---- '''Location''' The Blossom Hill meeting room is on the 3rd floor of the [[http://www.usenix.org/events/lisa10/hotel.html|Marriott Hotel in downtown San Jose]]. I expect to be hanging out from 7-8 pm near the LISA Conference registration area on the second floor of the Convention Center, which is connected to the Marriott. Feel free to stop by. I expect to meet a few others in that area prior to the 8pm start of my 2 BoF sessions. Perhaps you can earn some experience points by cross assuring others before our session starts. The GPG Key signing BoF will be 8-9pm and the CAcert BoF will be 9-10pm. ---- == History == ||<#eeeeee>Activity ||<#eeeeee>deadline ||<#eeeeee>done on ||<#eeeeee>done by ||<#eeeeee>Remarks || ||Talk(s) Acknowledged || ||2010-09-30 ||KenSchumacher || || ||Room Acknowledged || ||2010-09-30 ||KenSchumacher ||Blossom Hill || ||Email to local assurers || ||2010-10-31 ||KenSchumacher ||Sent to 52 assurers || ||Equipment Ready || || || || || == Registration == .
