Just before LISA 2013, there was a lot of list traffic about sysadmin professionalization. I digested the entire thread, abstracted the relevant links and interested parties, and worked with Will Dennis and Matt Simmons to set up a BoF on the topic at LISA 2013. The meeting was well attended and the room bristled with enthusiasm.
I believe many of the links gathered, especially in the BoK section, are really relevant to a LOPSA recommended reading list. Sadly, after that BoF, I heard nothing more on the BoK or professionalization projects. If anyone is interested, the files created here are freely viewable: https://drive.google.com/folder/d/0B8owHOxWPtd9b2FOa3lnLW5TUFE/ <https://drive.google.com/folder/d/0B8owHOxWPtd9b2FOa3lnLW5TUFE/edit>edit I'd love to work with folks on putting together a BoK strawman for group review and approval project. Or any variation on that theme. ---pam My column didn't make the cut-off for this month's LOPSAgram, so I'm posting it here as I need input from the membership: https://lopsa.org/content/thoughts-president-2015-apr To summarize, a week or so ago one of my co-workers asked me if LOPSA has a recommended reading list for sysadmin topics. Since I had to answer "no" and I want to see LOPSA developing more content for the sysadmin community, I would like to get our member's input on what should be on such a list and how the list should be structured. See the blog post above for the specifics and a few of my suggestions. Feel free to either reply to me directly, comment on the post, or e-mail the list with your suggestions. The list is probably the best choice however, as I would love to see active discussion on this topic.
