History

LOPSA-LA started in 2008 as a SIG of UUASC-LA. LOPSA-LA became a local chapter of LOPSA in 2012.

About our parent organizations, UUASC and LOPSA.

UUASC is the UNIX Users Association of Southern California. There are two chapters: LA and Orange County. The LA chapter is more sysadmin-heavy and the OC chapter is more developer-heavy, although there is a lot of variety in both.

LOPSA is the League of Professional System Administrators.

UUASC predates LOPSA over a decade.

Mission of LOPSA-LA:

• Provide a social forum and professional enhancement for Sys Admins via the monthly UUASC-LA meeting consisting of a technical presentation and dinner.

• Provide a social forum for Sys Admins via the monthly LOPSA-LA meeting consisting of a social dinner and an after-dinner talk or a round-table discussion on technical topics.

• Help educate the community of the practice of system administration through support of LOPSA University and LOPSA booth at the SCaLE conference.
