BigFix, along with USENIX SAGE and LOPSA are sponsoring this year’s System Administrator of the Year competition. The selection process is somewhat freeform, with winners chosen based on a number of criteria–performance above and beyond the duty, end-user service, process improvement change agent, and contributions to the general sys admin knowledge pool. While most entries are recommendations from bosses or colleagues, you can even nominate yourself. The entry period runs from August 25-October 23 with winners announced at the LISA '09 conference Baltimore. Also, your beloved user group leader Ben Kus has signed up as one of the judges. This does not mean that the fix is in for BigFix User Group members, but it doesn’t hurt either.
