💥BREAKING NEWS: #LOPSA, the hilariously self-important society of professional button-pushers, is folding like a cheap lawn chair. Apparently, the riveting world of bylaws and board minutes wasn't enough to keep the nerd masses entertained. 🎉✨

Someone who follows my holiday #Halloween antics, who I mostly know from #LOPSA and #LISA conferences, called me "the Santa Claus of Halloween", which... Feels like it fits.

Taking a stroll down Memory Lane today, I was telling a coworker about all the people I'd met and became friends with through conferences like #LISA and organizations like #LOPSA

There are a *lot* of really cool people I met over the years from just those interactions. Y'all know who you are!

So, a question was raised at a work meeting today. I don't seem to know of awards or acknowledgements for sysadmins, linux admins, networking folks, HPC. Maybe someone from #usenix or #LOPSA might know of some?
