This week we spoke about IT tribes with Matt Simmons, university sysadmin, blogger, subreddit moderator, and LISA program committee member. How do people pick the IT Tribes they are a part of?

Why didn’t Usenix and LISA (Large Installation System Administration) take over the world?
- “Large Installation” has really changed over the years
- Enterprise Microsoft vs Unix community divide
DevOps on one side, Enterprise/Windows on the other – who does that leave in the middle? Sysadmins
Matt was involved in the LISA program committee
IT pros tend to become “priests of the machine” and get involved in religious wars. Nobody likes religious was.
Why keep the name “sysadmin”? It’s perceived as old-fashioned.
The three kinds of cities: Ephesus (old infrastructure stuck in time), Phoenix (new planned city in the desert), Rome (new infrastructure alongside the old). University infrastructures are like run.
XKCD #705 on sysadmins: Devotion to Duty
Both Matt and next week’s guest Tom talked about how LISA program demonstrates how relevant it is to today’s IT pro: “Just look at the program,” they said. Well, here is the LISA14 Conference Program.
Being a Tech Field Day delegate as an entry into other IT tribes and being a connector
On picking tribes to be in:
- Don’t be the smartest person in the room
- Try different tribes
Matt is a moderator of /r/sysadmin
John enjoys /r/cableporn
John Gabriel’s Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory
Silicon Valley’s Mean Jerk Time scene
Matt is looking for networks that are Open, Available, and that try to get things accomplished or try to help people
The field of marketing as a whole vs individual marketers
The benefits of having a blog
If you’re in marketing, don’t send Matt a semi-fake form letter and then get annoyed when he doesn’t reply. Don’t just think bloggers are there to sell your first. What is Matt interested in learning?
Matt’s tip for bloggers: Don’t Get Emotional. You will get negative feedback; don’t respond in a knee-jerk fashion. Don’t take things personally. Try to have a thick skin.
