Going through the program, you will find renowned speakers for many interesting topics. SANE 2000 is the place where you will hear, discuss, then put to use the latest research, well-thought-out approaches, tools and techniques for practical system administration and security. Monday and Tuesday are your true opportunity for in-depth study! For two days, choose among three tracks of tutorials, covering topics like Perl/Tk, IPSEC, Sendmail, firewalls, DNS and general UNIX systems administration and led by experienced and respected instructors like Eric Allman, Jim Reid, Hugh Daniel, Walter Belgers, Hans van de Looy, Mark Overmeer, Jos Vos and Evi Nemeth. During the third and fourth day of SANE 2000 you will (after the keynote) be able to choose from two tracks of interesting presentations: the refereed papers track or the invited talks sessions. Hear about network management, security, modern file system techniques, IP internals, (b)leading edge developments, the use of open source software, and so on. You will find a remarkable line-up of speakers, including Brian Reid, Jeff Allen, Eric Allman, Barbara Dijker, Guido van Rooij, Mark Burgess, Joe Greco, Bastiaan Bakker and many, many more. On Tuesday and Wednesday you can also stroll along the exhibition area, where vendors will demonstrate their latest hardware and software products they hope will help you do your job more efficiently and effectively. Of course, there's also time to relax. Make sure you don't miss the social event (and conference dinner) on Wednesday evening. The conference ends on Thursday afternoon with the "The inSANE Quiz" where keywords like Hilarious! Fun! Educational! apply. Attend the quiz and be awed by the vast amounts of absolutely useless knowledge portrayed by the quiz candidates. Or, even better, register as a potential quiz candidate and test your cognitive powers against the world's masters of completely useless facts. Try to beat the reigning champion! SANE 2000 is hosted in the Maastricht Exposition and Conference Center, MECC, close to the medieval center of the city of Maastricht, in the south of the Netherlands, close to the borders with Belgium and Germany. Please join us. We hope to see you in Maastricht on May 22-25 at SANE 2000! Edwin H.
