System Administration and Network Engineering

A series of conferences organized by Stichting SANE.
Co-sponsored by Stichting NLnet and USENIX, the Advanced Computing Systems Association.

Dear reader,
 
After the glorious early years, starting in '98, the SANE conferences over the years have shown a slow decrease in the number of attendees, approaching a level where organizing a next SANE conference might become more a financial challenge rather than a nice conference with the rock solid content that you were used to find at SANE.
 
The bad news is: there will not be a SANE 2008 conference. The SANE organizers will take some time off to analyze the possible causes of the decrease in interest for the SANE conferences and are looking for fresh opportunities and novel ways to reverse the negative spiral. If you think you can help us in any way, please don't hesitate to contact the SANE organization by email to: <future@sane.nl>
 
To be honest, we'd love to be able to continue the successful series of SANE conferences. We're hoping and aiming to be back with a SANE event in 2009.
 
Regards, the SANE organizers.

Technology is advancing, the systems administration profession is changing rapidly, and you have to master new skills to keep apace.
At the International SANE (System Administration and Network Engineering) technical conferences and tutorial tracks you'll find a wealth of opportunities to meet other system administrators, and network (security) professionals and software developers with similar interests, while attending a program that brings you the latest in tools, techniques, security and networking.
You can learn from tutorials, refereed papers, invited talks, guru-is-in session, birds-of-a-feather sessions, and more.
