In June of 2014, I wrote this: *System Administrators are the IT operations staff responsible for designing, building, and maintaining an organization's computer infrastructure*
I think that still holds for the most part. I don't think of System Administration as a job - I think of it as a responsibility. You might not *be* a system administrator, but you *do system administration*, whether you're a developer or a DevOps Engineer, or a secretary. (and my very personal view is that LOPSA should cater to helping people who *do system administration*, not *are system administrators*, because there's far more of the first than the second). --Matt On Wed, Feb 25, 2015 at 3:45 PM, Mark Honomichl <[email protected]> wrote: > As a new board member, one of the tasks that I have taken on is to create > a definition of what a System Administrator is, especially in the context > of LOPSA, so I am curious to here what the membership thinks a SysAdmin > is.
