[TriLUG] [04/28 NC*SA System Admin Survival Series] Crossfire at NC*SA - Outsourcing

[Liyun Yu]

Dear NC*SA Members and System Admin Friends, 

The North Carolina System Administrators (NC*SA) will start a new series 
of workshop meetings from April: System Administrators Survival Series.
(SASS).

The SASS will focus on the most addressed topics reflected from
our recent online survey. Involvements from the audience
at the meeting will be required to enhance the specifics of the
system administrations.

Speaker: NC*SA Members and Guests.
Date: April 28th, Monday
Time: Evening 7-9pm
Location: UNC-TV Auditorium (Directions - at the end of this message)

As the first SASS meeting, we will try to setup a crossfire battle field
at NC*SA. The superposed topic is : Outsourcing.
We will need to have the audience separated into four groups.
Here is how it works:

The Corporation Group
This group needs to address the any possible issues, such as cost, etc.,
to support outsourcing;

The System Administrators Group
This group represents the system admin who really need the job
here at the corp either as the employee or contractor;

The Anti-Outsource Group
This group is against any outsource action period.

The Judge Group
This group will design the policies and rules, monitoring
and hosting the crossfire.
 
Please join us to have a fun at this first SysAdmin Survival Series.

Please keep in mind that you will be assigned to a group if you
did not pre-select any group or did not do any homework.

Free Pizza diner will be served right at the middle of the crossfire
when we call for a "Cease Fire".

Our next SASS topic is "PCI Protection".
