Abstract:

As the first SASS meeting, we will try to setup a crossfire battle field at NC*SA. The superposed topic is: Outsourcing. We will need to have the audience separated into four groups. Here is how it works:

The Corporation Group
This group needs to address any possible issues, such as cost, etc., supporting outsourcingl

The System Administrators Group
This group represents the sysadmins who really need the job here at the corp either as the employee or contractorl

The Anti-Outsource Group
This group is against any outsource action periodl

The Judge Group
This group will design the policies and rules, monitoring and hosting the crossfire.

Please join us to have a fun at this first session of the SysAdmin Survival Series.

Please keep in mind that you will be assigned to a group if you did not pre-select any group or did not do any homework.

Free pizza dinner will be served midway through the crossfire when we call for a cease-fire.

Our next SASS topic is: PCI Protection.
