What we’re about
BayLISA is the premiere system administration user group in Silicon Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area. Founded in the very early 90s after the fourth Large Installation System Administration (LISA) conference, BayLISA has supported and educated systems, network, storage, virtualization, and other technology professionals in the Bay Area for over 20 years.
We use Meetup to coordinate meeting attendance, announcements, and reminders. We have our official organizational presence on the web, including links to membership, sponsorship, and mailing lists, at www.baylisa.org.
Our legacy description:
One way to put it is that there are many user groups, but we are the sysadmins group. BayLISA includes system and network administrators across a range of skill levels. BayLISA meets monthly to discuss topics of interest to administrators and managers of sites supporting more than 100 users and/or computers. The meetings are free and open to the public.
BayLISA grew out of an after-hours discussion among attendees of the USENIX LISA IV conference. The idea was to provide a forum for Sysadmin professionals in the San Francisco Bay area to get together and exchange ideas, hear speakers address topics of interest and most importantly, socialize.
BayLISA stands for: Bay Area Large Installation System Administrators

Abstract:
AI in IT often raises two questions: can it really help in the trenches, and does it threaten SRE and engineering jobs? The reality is that most engineers lose way too many hours to troubleshooting and firefighting--time they’d rather spend building, designing, and driving innovation.In this session, NeuBird’s Andrew Lee will discuss and demo how Agentic AI shifts that balance. You’ll see how Hawkeye, the AI SRE Agent, connects with the tools you already use to deliver real-time RCA and remediation, enabling faster incident resolution, reduced MTTR, and more time for engineers to focus on what matters most.
