Over the last ten years Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) has been evolving
to handle the rapid growth in storage that we have all seen in the
workplace, presenting opportunities and (challenges!) along the way
for managing your data. The TSM Symposium 2005 is an ideal opportunity
this year for help in "Facing the Future" in storage management with
TSM.

In September, Oxford University is hosting the TSM Symposium which
will be held (once again) in St Catherine's College. This will enable
you to keep up with the latest features, gain tips on upgrading
existing archive and backup services and learn how to exploit new
functionality. There will be plenty of opportunities to gain technical
insight into TSM, with presentations from IBM Development,
contributions from experienced and established users as well as the
chance to meet other like-minded souls.  How to make a contribution

We are seeking technical contributions in the form of papers and
presentations from the TSM user community - the system managers and
administrators who are arguably the real TSM experts - this is an
excellent chance to share your knowledge and wisdom!

Technical contributions from TSM solution architects and related
storage vendors are also sought: this is an opportunity to demonstrate
the flexibility and extensibility of TSM.

In addition, there are excellent opportunities for exhibiting at the
Symposium.

Please see the Contributions web page for further details.

Organisation of the TSM Symposium

This user-led event has been initiated and organised by Oxford
University Computing Services, and follows on from the previous events
held at Oxford in 1999, 2001 and 2003. The technical agenda is being
co-ordinated by:

    * Laura Buckley, Storage Solutions
    * Rolf Bogus, University of Heidelberg
    * Kirsten Glöer, Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH
    * Peter Jones, Oxford University
    * Peter Pijpelink, PLCS
    * Remco Post, SARA, Amsterdam
    * Sheelagh Treweek, Oxford University
    * Paul Zarnowski, Cornell University

The symposium will be held at St Catherine's College, with early
arrivals' registration opening on the afternoon of Monday 26 September
2005. The exhibitions will be open and the exhibitors will give their
introductory presentations before hosting an evening reception.

The symposium presentations will start on the following morning
(Tuesday 27 September 2005) and conclude at lunchtime on Thursday 29
September 2005. Optional residential accommodation is available in
en-suite rooms at the college and all meals are included.

All arrangements will be handled through Oxford University Computing
Services (please do not contact the college directly) and we can be
contacted by email or web form (preferably) and also by phone or
fax. The contact and registration pages give more details.

We look forward to meeting you at the Symposium in Oxford. Meanwhile,
consider whether you can make a contribution to the success of this
popular event by presenting a paper yourself?
