environments.  Some possible topics include (but are not limited to):

	Security
	Software release engineering
	Software distribution

	Network management (LAN & WAN)
	User account management
	anything else that seems interesting & relevant

This will not be a presentation of work that the leaders have done, but a forum

or be thinking about.  Successes as well as as failures may be discussed.

See you there!
