[Lilug] LOPSA-East '16 Early Bird Registration extended

[LOPSA-East '16]

The “*please fasten you seatbelt sign*” is on and LOPSA-NJ is happy to
announce that registration for the 2016 LOPSA-East conference is *OPEN*.
Early Bird pricing is a great deal and will be available till March 25th.
We have some great classes and talks this year and we hope you all can join
us. There are many discounts that you can find out about at
http://lopsaeast.org/2016/lopsa-east-costs/#dis

Our Friday night Keynote will be Tanya Reilly who has been a Site
Reliability Engineer at Google since 2005, working on low level
infrastructure like distributed locking, load balancing, bootstrapping and
monitoring systems. Before Google, she worked as a Systems Administrator at
eircom.net, Ireland’s largest ISP, and before that she was the entire IT
Department for a small software house. She likes writing Go, building Lego
spaceships, and predicting how things will break.”
“Does technical debt turn your small changes into minefields? Does your
production environment expect perfect humans? This talk highlights tools,
configuration and documentation that set us up for failure. It advocates
for removing traps, so that you don’t have to waste brain cycles on
remembering where they are. And it offers practical advice for sending your
future self (and future coworkers!) gifts, instead of post mortems that
just say “human error :-(”.   Includes stories of preventable outages.
Bring your schadenfreude.”

We will be announcing some new great things going on later as the
conference gets closer. One of the things that was brought up in the feed
back from the past few years is a get together on Thursday night for those
in the area or arriving early so we will be opening up the bag stuffing
party to all. More details on this will be added to the website as the time
gets closer. Friday night we will have the Birds-Of-a-Feathers again this
year as well as a Cards Against Humanity game for anyone who wants to join
and a few more fun things that make LOPSA-East different from other area
conferences.

We can’t wait to see you all in May at the LOPSA-East Conference. Remember
to reserve your room at the Hyatt Regency New Brunswick at the group rate
of $129 single/double plus tax. When the rooms in the LOPSA-East block are
sold out, requests will be handled on a space-available basis at the
hotel’s standard rate. Make your reservations early! To reserve your room
