The meeting for this month was punted out to the 31, due to scheduling conflicts and OLS. No special topics, but I did run across another distribution that is supposed to work with the firebox II units I gave away a while ago. I’m going to try to set up one of the “alternate” models with that and if it works, do another session on it. Another hot topic which has reared it’s ugly head last week is the DNS vulnerability to cache poisoning.
We had an odd meeting, one might even say eclectic tonight. There was no formal agenda, other than a request to chat about the Canadian copyright Bill that has been tabled. More on that later. There was a short discussion on ISPs and the methods they appear to use to encourage legacy clients from acquisitions to find greener pastures. There is a consensus that the NCF as an ISP is the right way to go.
This Thursday, the June monthly meeting will be held at Fidus. Directions are in the top right corner of the site.
Just in case you don’t look at the calendar, we will be having the meeting a week late. I’ll have stories of data center dismantling and other goodness as well as the surprising tale of getting a renewed passport. Other topics are welcome, as well as any technical conundrums to be solved.
Looks like I was asleep at the switch in March, forgot to post the BSD meeting, forgot to post the ovSAGE meeting. Perhaps I’ll do better this month. Stay tuned.
