How do you store your documents? Where do you store them? What software creates your documents? What software stores it? What software retrieves it? What about document indexing and searching? How do you deal with non-textual documents? What document file format do you use? Is parchment and goose-quill still best?
This month there'll be a shooting match between the Well-Known Format SysAdmins and the OpenStandards SysAdmins. But it'll be a polite shooting match at our round table discussion, with SysAdmins relating their own practices, learning new ones, and telling tall tales.

Systems Administrators are a social bunch! December is in the middle of the Holiday Season, so let's get together and socialize. I'm sure we'll talk tech, but the purpose of the evening is to eat satisfyingly good food, drink refreshingly good beverages, and have an amazingly good time.
Bring your spouses, partners, POSSLQs, friends, co-workers, and anyone else you'd like to socialize with! To maximize our enjoyment, note that we're starting an hour earlier at 6:00pm.
--Marc Paré & Bob Jonkman

What file formats do your documents, images, spreadsheets use? Can you exchange your files with people using Macs? Linux? VMS? Will your documents survive an upgrade of your application software? Can you switch to another word processor? Image editor? Spreadsheet app? Can you still read the files from backups created years ago with different software? Can you choose the file format your application uses?
In the month of Document Freedom Day we'll look at the importance of open, well-known file formats, and compare it to closed, proprietary formats that are so prevalent today.

Where are your servers? Is that really safe? Have you thought about professional hosting at a colocation site? What's a colocation site? Who offers colocation services? What services do colocation sites offer? How much will all this cost? Can I still come visit my server when it's been placed in a colocation site?
Bob and Marc have questions, and ---- of ---- will provide the answers!
