Meeting: 18th January 2003
The Greater London Linux User Group is set to have another meeting.
That's right, there is a GLLUG meeting on Saturday 18th January
2003, between 12noon and 5pm.
We will be meeting in the New Cavendish Street campus
of Westminster University. This is in the shadow of the
BT Tower, the nearest tube stations are Great Portland
Street, Warren Street and Goodge Street. You will find a
map at [http://www.wmin.ac.uk/static/maps.asp] or via
html version of this message on the GLLUG web site at
http://www.gllug.org.uk/meeting-20030118.html
NOTE: you will need to sign in at the front desk to gain access
to the building. There are building works at the moment but we'll
post signs if the entrance has moved.
Talks
We have two main talks planned. These will be in the large lecture
theatre on the second floor:-
12:00 - 12:30
Welcome and Introduction.
also opportunity to try and debug overhead projectors :-)
12:30 - 14:00
Russell Coker - Security Enhanced Linux
Introduction to SE Linux [ http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/ ].
It will cover the concepts of MAC vs DAC, the Identity, Role,
Domain security context model, Domain-Type enforcement and some
examples of how it can be used to improve security.
14:30 - 16:00
Carsten H. Pederson - MySQL
The exact contents of the talk are not yet available. Carsten
works for MySQL.com and can talk on both Introductory and advanced
mysql subjects.
16:15 - 17:00
To round the meeting off: There will be an open forum discussion,
including the return of the "Heckle Steve Session".
* Do please be aware that we can't guarantee that the talks will
happen at the times stated, but we will do our best to make sure
they do.
Other activities
Away from the formal lectures, we have two rooms set aside,
both on the second floor, same level as main lecture room.
The network lab, as it is known, can be used for rolling demos
of Linux being installations and to experiment with configuration.
We also have the Multimedia room. This will be used for people
to set is up their own machines. You can do this if you have
something to show off, or you are looking for a solution to some
problems. If your are bringing in your own machine, make sure
you sign it in when you arrive, otherwise security won't let
you take it when you go! We'll have monitors, keyboards, mice,
and powerleads available. [So no need to lug all that stuff].
We will have access to some of the latest iso images and a
CD-Burner.
If you decide to bring a PC, please have the serial number
written down ahead of time, in case it needs to be registered
at the ground floor Reception. We may also take a picture of you
and your PC as proof of ownership.
The network lab and the multimedia room are the places you can
go to, should you be looking for sanctuary away from the formal
talks. If we're lucky the Refectory on the ground floor will have
its food and drinks machines restocked.
Sales
For the latter part of the afternoon Josette Garcia from O'Reilly
will be with us, so if you are looking to buy some O'Reilly books,
now's your chance. And yes - we do get 25% off the cover price.
If you have any specific requests to buy or look at any O'Reilly
books, please contact josette@orielly.co.uk
John Winters of The Linux Emporium [http://www.linuxemporium.co.uk]
will be along to sell some boxed sets and stuff. If anybody has
any specific requirements please check out his web page and then
contact john@linuxemporium.co.uk
After
After the meeting, for those that want, the group will move off
to 'The Green Man' public house, very close to Great Portland
Street. We have it booked from 5:30pm, part of the ground floor
area of the bar is reserved for us. Even if you were unable to make
the daytime meeting, please feel free to join us at the pub. To
