The Future of System Administration
(and What You Should Do to Prepare)

Adam Moskowitz, MathWorks

System Administration is changing faster and more radically that at any
time in its history. Like it or not, your job is probably going to be
very different in 10 years (and maybe even in 5 years); come hear where
the field is headed and what you should do if you want to stay on the
leading edge of system administration. (Sneak preview of the
recommendation: "stop being a sysadmin.")

Adam Moskowitz is a Senior Tools Developer at MathWorks in Natick MA; in
the past he has also been a system administrator, and his current
project marries those two disciplines. If it works, it will make a
significant change in how system administration is done. Adam has been
in the field since 1978 but claims he keeps working "to keep food in his
puppy's bowl" (and to support his barbecue habit).
