Tu 2011-08-16 BALUG meeting; & other BALUG "news" Bay Area Linux User Group (BALUG) meeting Tuesday 6:30 P.M. 2011-08-16 Please RSVP if you're planning to come (see further below). For our 2011-08-16 BALUG meeting, at least presently we don't have a specific speaker/presentation lined up and confirmed for this meeting (but we may have one on a security topic, or possibly something else - if you're directly subscribed to our "announce" list: http://lists.balug.org/listinfo.cgi/balug-announce-balug.org watch it and/or: http://www.balug.org/#Meetings-upcoming for announcements and potentially late-breaking updates. ). In any case, speaker/presentation or not, that doesn't prevent us from having interesting and exciting meetings. Sometimes we also manage to secure/confirm a speaker too late for us to announce or fully publicize the speaker (that's happened at least twice in the past five or so years). Got questions, answers, and/or opinions? We typically have some expert(s) and/or relative expert(s) present to cover LINUX and related topic areas. Want to hear some interesting discussions on LINUX and other topics? Show up at the meeting, and feel free to bring an agenda if you wish. Want to help ensure BALUG has speakers/presentations lined up for future meetings? Help refer speakers to us and/or volunteer to be one of the speaker coordinators. Good food, good people, and interesting conversations to be had. So, if you'd like to join us please RSVP to: rsvp at balug.org **Why RSVP??** Well, don't worry we won't turn you away, but the RSVPs really help BALUG and the Four Seas Restaurant plan the meal and meeting, and with sufficient attendance, they also help ensure that we'll be able to eat upstairs in the private banquet room.

MooseX::Workers makes writing multi-process code a breeze. It handles the forking, the reaping of child procs, and makes it trivial to managing logging across all your children. It even makes it easy to pass data structures from the children back to the parent. We'll cover the whole thing from soup to nuts using a simplified version of some real production code as an example. There will also be a short intro to Moose for those who haven't worked with it recently. This meeting will take place at iParadigms LLC, which is right at the 12th street BART station in Oakland (a 10 minute bart ride from downtown SF). ?Pizza and drinks will be sponsored!

For our Tuesday 6:30 P.M. 2011-09-20 meeting, we're proud to present: Travis H on Encrypted Storage This is a talk covering the three types of encrypted storage technologies (application-level, filesystem, block device) in Linux (and BSD, unless we want to skip those slides). We will start off a little abstract, and end up very practical, with LUKS/dm-crypt and TrueCrypt, and end up with some important discussion about thumb drives and the limits of what we can achieve. Travis H is the founder of Bay Area Hacker's Association (BAHA)[1], a former member of Austin Hacker's Association (AHA), and has been employed doing security or cryptography for financial institutions, web client software, top 50 web sites, e-commerce hosting companies, and other organizations. He has been part of the largest security monitoring operation in the world, security consulting startups, helped design an intrusion detection system, and has taught code-making and breaking at Stanford. He also has written a book on security which is free online. He is a fan of the Ghost in the Shell franchise, and collects Matrix-inspired fashion accessories. 1. http://baha.bitrot.info/ See also a bit further below for some additional goodies we'll have at this meeting (CDs, etc.) So, if you'd like to join us please RSVP to: rsvp at balug.org **Why RSVP??** Well, don't worry we won't turn you away, but the RSVPs really help the Four Seas Restaurant plan the meal and dining arrangements and such.
