There are a few places that offer advanced degrees in System Administration.  
Mark Burgess has been instrumental in helping to make that happen, and I 
believe he's had the support of USENIX and SAGE.

I think he's done great work in that area and I think we should definitely 
support that kind of thing, but I would also like to see LOPSA do and support 
some things that have not already been done and already been supported by 
USENIX and SAGE.  I'd like to see us trying to help make more of a name and 
reputation for ourselves, than in relation to these other groups.
