[brluglist] next meeting

[John Hebert]

We originally scheduled a special network and system
security meeting on a previous weekend, but had to
postpone due to scheduling conflicts.
In light of the fact that we don't have a topic for
the August meeting, why don't we combine the "general
questions/install help" with covering basic security
countermeasures? All we really need is for a few
knowledgeble people to show what kind of security
measures they take on their own boxes. It would make a
good opportunity for newbies to have their boxes
"tweaked" and made more secure, while learning more
about the basic configuration changes made.
Dustin, is it possible to get a few tables from
somewhere at Coates? Or should we just grab a few from
work? I believe Shannon offered to bring a 24 port
hub. Shannon, does that offer still stand? I can bring
some power extension cables and a couple of power
strips. I recommend for anyone bringing their own
machines to bring a network patch cable and a power
strip.
I'll also bring an SVGA extension cable for the
overhead projector, so that specific configuration
demonstrations can be made to everyone.
What we need most is for BRLUG members to get involved
at the meeting. If you are a newbie, bring your
machine and plenty of questions. If you are somewhat
experienced with Linux configuration and security
trouble-shooting, help by answering questions and
sharing your knowledge.
Because it will be a hands-on event instead of a
demonstration, how about we call this next meeting
"Getting Your Hands Dirty"? :)
