5th System Administration and Network Engineering Conference
May 15-19, 2006
Aula Congress Centre, Delft, The Netherlands
A conference organized by Stichting SANE.
Co-sponsored by Stichting NLnet, USENIX, SURFnet and NLUUG.
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.
We're pleased to invite you to attend the SANE 2006 conference. This time we're
offering 3 days of training, followed by a 2-day conference program filled with
the latest developments in system administration, network engineering, security
and open source software, and practical approaches to the puzzles and problems
you wrestle with.
You'll also have many opportunities to meet other system administrators and network
(security) professionals and chat with peers who share your concerns and interests.
The venue for SANE 2006 will be the Aula Congress Centre, located on the campus of
the University of Technology in Delft: the city of Delft Blue, the world-famous
painter Johannes Vermeer and its historical ties to the Royal House of Orange.
But also a lively modern city for funshopping, going out for a great dinner or
wandering around to experience its special atmosphere.
