USENIX

The USENIX Association is the Advanced Computing Technical Association. It was founded in 1975, focusing primarily on the study and development of Unix and similar systems. It has since grown into a respected organization among practitioners, developers, and researchers of computer operating systems more generally.

USENIX has a special technical group for system administrators, SAGE: The People Who Make IT Work.

It sponsors several conferences and workshops each year, most notably the USENIX Annual Technical Conference and, with SAGE, LISA, a conference devoted to system administration.
