Out of this dialogue, we'll assemble an inventory of tools to 1) map out the monitoring space and 2) compare and contrast tools, with the goal of creating consensus about the best tools and approaches to monitoring. We'll have an LCD projector and wireless available if you need to show the assembled crowd something from the web or your laptop. Bring your questions -- share your experiences!</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">What: BayLISA Monitoring SIG: The Sequel</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Who: Anyone interested in IT monitoring issues and tools</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">When: Wednesday, November 8 2006, 7PM</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Where: GroundWork Open Source, 139 Townsend St., San Francisco</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">How: 139 Townsend St. is very near AT&T Park.
