How it started
History and formation
Originally, the corporation was created as "The System Administrators Guild, Inc" in July 2004 by volunteers of the USENIX Association as part of a plan to spin off its SAGE Special Technical Group into a separate organization. After the spin-off from the USENIX Association was halted in November 2005, the volunteers involved in the spin-off opted to move forward as a new organization which was renamed LOPSA, and began reorganizing itself into an independent entity.
On June 13th of 2025, it was announced that LOPSA would be dissolved as an organization.
On December 26th, 2025, LOPSA was officially dissolved.
