I know LOPSA and USENIX are on speaking terms now... Has anyone from the LOPSA BoD reached out to USENIX BoD and explored a consolidation of SAGE and LOPSA? IMHO, one of these org's should be folded into another (yes, yes, I know the old history of LOPSA's founding; let the past stay in the past...) I don't know why we'd need *two* professional org's for SA's to continue... Seems to me that USENIX is the stronger org by far (and has the requisite support structure in place already), and so LOPSA as it stands today (i.e. mailing lists and mentorship program) could be easily folded into SAGE (heck, SAGE already has the mailing list...)
Maybe I don't have all the details here, but that's the way it seems to me... W. On Monday, March 02, 2015 12:59 PM Derek J.

To re-iterate a suggestion I made earlier: Donated to a comparable organization, such as USENIX, followed by dissolution. LOPSA is, at best, redundant and ineffective at this point.
