Description: We are having a short presentation on ethical hacking
concentrating on Linux by Jeff Green, founder of group51.org.
One of the key objectives of the website is a proof of concept. We take
systems we find in peoples garbage and insert them into a cloud
computing environment connected through an open source intranet. We want
to be the most powerful garbage pile in the world. At the same time we
have a number of other projects all linked where we create a
“playground” for people to learn on real equipment and for students to
polish their resume with real world experience. People can administer
various applications and services that are found in the enterprise
environment. 95% of what we do is Linux based.
For those who didn’t know, the Ontario GNU/Linux Fest in Toronto has
been canceled. You can read more about it on the
official site, but the short answer is it’s
a lot of work to get one going and to organize it.
When I found out about it (Thanks Jim), I made a comment about possibly
trying to get a similar event off the ground here. It’s certainly not
impossible, but it will take work. We already have
BSDCan,
pgcon,
The Ottawa Linux Symposium, so is there room
for an additional conference here in the capital? This is currently a
single day event and held on a weekend, so it’s not a long event
commitment and it certainly is not Ohio Linux Fest!
For those who are unaware, the LISA 2010 conference registration has
been opened.
Visit the
Usenix event page for
detailed information and to register.
For the unknowing or uninformed, LISA is the big annual System
Administration conference sponsored by Usenix. LOPSA has a hand in there
as well.
If you are really going to make this a career and not just a
job, you should attend one of these conferences. Words do not really
describe the experience, ask Kelly some time.
I have uploaded the config files I talked about during the meeting.
These files make reference to some extra items such as greylisting and
spamassassin, as well as the use of self-signed SSL certificates. You
will notice a new menu item on the site under
About called
ovSAGE Downloads. Go
there for the tarball which contains the default and production files
as well as diff files for each pair.
The main documents for all of this are located on the CentOS website.
The following items describe the docs and their locations:

Processing with Arduino](
http://the.link.is.gone)
Create your own drawing and animation software-and learn basic
programming and electronics skills at the same time. This engaging
5-week online course introduces you to two simple tools: Processing, a
programming language for visual thinkers, and Arduino, a hardware
platform for working with electronics. You’ll learn how to use these
tools together to build something useful right away. You’ll learn to:
- Use Processing to create basic software applications
- Make your own drawing and animation tools
- Create a GUI (Graphical User Interface) to control your software
- Use an Arduino to provide physical controls for your drawing and
animation tools
