Seed of a paper on the SABOK for JESA:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1D4VpPJq46Ox9ZU4txeE1vmDBmPXFd52-1WYI2WgTSFM/edit?usp=sharing
(let me know if you'd like Edit access and I'll add you)

Thanks to Mark Burgess, Ski Kacoroski and Carolyn Rowland for reviewing the
initial draft and their suggestions:

* summarize the effort represented by the BOK. List of literature/summary
sounds like a very valuable thing, but it will take quite a bit of work.
* show how this relates to other efforts in this area such as opsschool,
sans, stackexchange, spiceworks, and other system admin resources.  Clearly
place this effort in the landscape of system administration resources.
* give an end to end example of how some content in the BoK can be used for
education, training, and qualification (gedanken experiment or real life)
to show people your vision for the BoK.
* Give numbers as to why system administration is so important.
* Expand the reading list using the thread in LOPSA-discuss that drich
started a bit ago.
* "Next steps" needs to include concrete, measurable things that are next
on the list to be done such as move to a wiki, get content on Y, get
contributors, etc.  (this is our call for help)
* Email the JESA chairs and let them know what we're trying to do (get the
word out about SABOK and solicit participation from Academia). Then they
can look at what you've got and think about how it could fit in the
journal. (Maybe a short paper is not the right format.)

I've been tied up with business (I'm on-boarding my employee #1 - milestone
after five years of running the business part-time and five months
full-time) but I am "motivated", as Craig said, to put a mention of SABOK
in JESA; we'll squeeze this in somehow.  Help welcome!
