I was recently accepted as an official blogger for LISA 2009. In this post, I’ll list the technical sessions I plan to attend. I’ll be writing a blog entry each day about one or more of the sessions I attended. The blog entries will be hosted on the USENIX Update blog (http://blogs.usenix.org/).
With any luck I’ll be able to blog about some training sessions, but that is still tentative.
