Sydney Meetings

Meetings are announced on the SAGE-NSW and SAGE-AU mailing lists. They are intended as a networking and learning opportunity. Presentations often come from members and vendor pre-sales engineers but are not limited to Information Technology.

SAGE-AU NSW has started up a Meetup group - dedicated to bringing New South Wales system administrators, ICT support staff and computer/network programmers/administrators together online, through our mailing lists and regular meetings and presentations on the 3rd Tues of every month in a casual setting the Sydney CBD.  Check it out and join.

We gather from 6pm on the 3rd Tuesday of each month for friendly discussion over beverage and snack at the Shelbourne Hotel, cnr Sussex & Market Sts, Sydney (five minute walk from Town Hall station). The formal meeting presentation starts from 7pm across the road at Atlassian, 173-185 Sussex Street.

Please RSVP by 16:00 Tuesday. Reply by email to william.shipway@member.sage-au.org.au, phone on 0417 401 581, or via SAGE-AU NSW Meetup.  

If you are running late, call the venue contact in the meeting notice for access to the building. Failing that, try contacting Sam (0430453732) or William (0417401581).

Videos of some meetings are available: vimeo.com/groups/sysadmin. Anyone interested in volunteering their help with this is very welcome!  

An archive of previous NSW meetings including (with permission from the speakers) presentation
documents/PDFs/etc. attachments (which may not work download from public/unauthenticated browsers) however most of the talk recordings are links to externally/publicly hosted/available videos that would be
of great interest and value.
