System Administrator Appreciation Day
- System Administrator Appreciation Day
System Administrator Appreciation Day, also known as Sysadmin Day, SysAdminDay or SAAD, was created by Ted Kekatos, a system administrator in Chicago. Kekatos was inspired to create the special day by a Hewlett-Packard magazine advertisement in which a system administrator is presented with flowers and fruit-baskets by grateful co-workers as thanks for installing new printers. [cite web|title=Flowers in the Server Room: Sysadmins, Today Is Your Day|first=Deb|last=Rothberg|publisher=eWeek blogs|date=July 28, 2006 5:40 PM|accessdate=2007-03-11|url=http://blog.eweek.com/blogs/careers/archive/2006/07/28/11869.aspx] The holiday exists to show appreciation for the work of sysadmins and other IT workers. It is celebrated on the last Friday in July. The first System Administrator Appreciation Day was celebrated on July 28, 2000. The next holiday is Friday, July 31, 2009.
Many geek and Internet culture businesses, such as ThinkGeek and CafePress, also honor the holiday with special product offerings and contests. Various filk songs have been written to commemorate the day.

[cite web|title=System Administrator Appreciation Day|first=Elizabeth|last=Hoyt|date=July 27, 2001|url=http://mcpmag.com/news/article.asp?EditorialsID=367] The day has been recognized and promoted by two professional organizations, the League of Professional System Administrators and SAGE/USENIX.
