sysadminday 2008 is comming!
Hooray, next Friday is the System Administrator Appreciation Day (or just Sysadmin Day).
Hostex, one of Lithuania’s biggest hosting and data-center companies, announced the already annual sysadminday contest (3rd year in a row).
System administrators all over Lithuania are welcome to join this contest. It will start on Wednesday (July 23th), at 10:00 am. The tasks and questions will be published on the website (sysadminday.lt). People will have 34 hours to complete the tasks.
Each task gives some points, and only the first submitted answer is correct. The first person who submits an answer for some of the tasks gets more points. So, you have to be correct and fast too!
The winner of the contest is a person who gets most points and will get a 2500 litas worth trip to any country he wishes. There will be prizes for some specific tasks too, but that information isn’t published yet.
Also, everyone who will register for the event (and atleast try to solve some tasks) will be invited to a party which will take place on Friday, July 25th ( the sysadminday itself ) in some local Vilnius club. I wonder if beer will be free out there? 
Also, i am one of the few guys who creates the tasks. And, what can i say – few of them i like very much, few of them i don’t, but it still will be really great. If you’re a sysadmin, a dba, a network admin or any other admin from Lithuania – register for event, it’ll be great (and you won’t loose anything if you won’t solve any tasks)!
P.S. you can find tasks from the last sysadminday 2007 contest here just to get an idea of how it looks.
