Results of the Third All-Russian Meeting of Sysadmins

The Third All-Russian Meeting of Sysadmins , dedicated to the celebration of the Sysadmin's Day (last Friday of July) took place. And took place, according to official data, successfully. More than 2,400 people from Russia and the CIS countries came to the rally gatherings near Kaluga. The organizers note that the audience of the event has increased by one and a half times compared to last year. No wonder, with such informational partners as Habrahabr , bash.org.ru , ComputerBild, and others, who trumpeted the Meeting on the entire Runet.

Apparently, the people for three days of the rally (from July 25 to July 27) walked for glory. At least, this is what the organizers (the “System Administrator is Human” and IT Community ) say in a press release. The sysadmins of all Russia, who reached Kaluga, rested, taking part in competitions in football, volleyball and darts, competitions in throwing computer mice and keyboards, competitions in laying computer networks on the ground and sisadmin quizzes. In addition, Sisadmin's morning exercises, the “Guitar Hero” contest, the sysadminian quest for the teams of participants, as well as the Allsoft.ru online store contest called “Fight with pirates” appeared in the program. I would like to know more about the quest and battles with pirates. Maybe someone from the habra people was there? And share your impressions?

There were quite a few sponsors who helped to conduct the rally. Prizes to the winners of contests (Asus eeePC laptops, Xbox 360 game consoles, keyboards, external hard drives, etc.) were provided by Softline , Microsoft and Symantec . And from Microsoft, some participants also got real sysadmin tambourines.
