    SysAdminDay UK

    SysAdmin Day Social events in Australia

    In Australia, SAGE-AU also has a few social events planned. Well, two to be precise:

    Brisbane: http://www.meetup.com/SAGE-AU-QLD/events/224201296/

    Sydney: http://www.meetup.com/SAGE-AU-NSW/events/224039972/

    Of course, non-sysadmins can attend too, particularly if they wish to come along and pay homage to their sysadmin colleagues by shouting them food or drinks. :)
