LuftHans Free Software in 3D

Added several modules to my shell scripting class tonight. Added a couple that had been recently been created. Also added a couple I created tonight. Good work on a couple others as well, but they're not yet going online. Working on a lab exercise now. It should be available for tomorrow.

SCaLE's 10x call for proposals is closing Thursday. There is a bit of effort required for speaker registration, so don't wait until Thursday night to start.

Note that SCaLE 10x is a litte earlier in the year than past SCaLE conferences as it's now in January.

SCaLE 10x: January 20-22, 2012 at the Hilton Los Angeles Airport Hotel.

The ABLEconf call for participation is open. We're looking for technology experts and business leaders to discuss how open technologies can help transform Arizona businesses.

This year we're allowing tutorials, panels, labs and hackfests in addition to presentations. Submit something interesting.

Early bird deadline is 2011Nov20.

For its 10th anniversary SCaLE is running an art contest. The winner gets a free trip, including airfare within the continental US, to Los Angeles for SCaLE 10x.

Look to SCaLE's page on the contest for details.

SCalE 10x is 2012Jan20-22.

At tonight's PLUG meeting I asked everyone there to help promote ABLEconf. To that end, it was requested that I post a list of organizations to contact, so I pulled the list out of last year's wiki and created a blog entry.

If you are interested in helping us, please choose appropriate organizations for the Call for Presentations as that closes soon and we still need to reach more people.

Apparently my Tunneling with SSH presentation was accepted for SCaLE 9x as I'm on the schedule. No email confirmation yet. I presume that'll come through soon.

This presentation is an expansion and update of my Linux Journal article on how to Use SSH to Cross a Suspect Host Securely from last year.

LinuxJournal recently published my article on using SSH to safely transit a compromised host.

I've been using these techniques a lot for my classes. I'm using a new classroom and paperwork issues are restricting my laptop to either being on the classroom network ( which I need as it provides resources for class ) or on the Internet ( which I need as I access the Internet for those resources I pull from my laptop ). I need both at the same time, but can only get one at a time.

MCC's GNU/Linux security class is scheduled to start Oktober 20th. This one doesn't run very often, so sign up now.

The class has been confirmed for this quarter. It will be running.

The class got dropped from the system, but is being added back in. I was able to confirm tonight that it will be running.

Call the BII at 480 461 6100 and ask for Jessica to sign up for the class.

MCC's GNU/Linux security class is scheduled to start Oktober 20th. This one doesn't run very often, so sign up now.

The class will be run as a hands on lab as that's essential to really understanding security tools. It runs Monday and Wednesdays from 18:00 to 21:40 for 8 weeks, 2008Okt20 to 2008Dez10.

Call the BII at 480 461 6100 and ask for Jessica to sign up for the class.

PLUG is starting a new security lab on the second Saturday of every month. We'll be meeting from noon until 15:00 at UAT.

A security tool will be presented and then we'll work on using it. Bring a laptop and be prepared to use Live CDs to experiment with various Free Software security tools.

Thanks to UAT for providing a space for us to meet and especially for allowing us to run a security lab on their network.
