Look at it from the standpoint of someone who hasn't been involved in the process at all. They want to *quickly* find the basics: Date and Time Location Cost (since most conferences charge, free is the exception) Session Schedule The picture banner is pretty, but IMHO takes up space that would be better served for the details of the fest. It still isn't obvious how to get there (Logistics is a word that just doesn't jump out and say 'directions' to me) or a schedule of talks. I know we have a schedule now, so it should be linked or embedded on the main site. News items are still hard to find. You only see the last one on the main page and after you have clicked on it there is no obvious way to see other news items. The Travel page has a nice map, but no address on it. What if you want to lookup the location with your smartphone? Some suggestions: 1. Hot link 'News and Announcements' to the news section 2. Change Logistics to 'Directions' and link it to the travel page 3. Put the address on the travel page 4. Link to the hotels, etc. from the travel page 5. Change session to schedule and link to it 6. 'It would be Nice(TM)' if the schedule and sessions had linkages between them. Like I said above, look at the website design from the standpoint of someone who has seen a poster and wants to quickly get the details. Also think about smartphone users who are on the road and who forgot to get the exact address :) See you guys next weekend!

Doors open by 6:30 PM for setup. Super fast T-1internet connections available. The tentative plan is to have the meeting conducted by Dick Meier and remotely by John Wickliffe using videoconferencing with Skype and/or Gizmo (soon to be incorporated into Google Talk) and Dimdim. We may also explore new capabilities of KDE4. Since our Ireland trip got set back 2 weeks because of volcano ash, I will be there. TAPCUG Linux SIG and OLYMUG have been discussing bringing back a Raincoast-like event in October but more financially modeled after LinuxFest at Bellingham Technical College which is free to the public and happens every year in April. For now we willcall it ComputerFestNorthwest. The key is finding a free or low cost venue. Since this is a volunteer effort that benefits the public, finding this free or low cost venue should not be difficult. Linux is quickly becomingthe preferred computeroperating system! Say good bye to expensive proprietary operating systems, viruses, worms, trojans, crashes, forced upgrades, infuriating pop-ups, repair bills & get a better, complete Linux operating system with all the applications you need for a very affordable price.

The founder, Will Scott Jordan, wants to make it easy for people in Seattle to get to the Fest. So BPT will be having a bus to Bellingham if there's enough interest. (Unfortunately, the bus ain't gonna help Will...he's stranded by the volcano in the UK.) The bus will come to Bellingham on Saturday morning and return Sunday evening after the Fest. If you want to ride on the bus, please go to http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/109675 Tickets are FREE, but they still need to be ordered. Click on "Begin Order" in the box "I wish to buy tickets for this event." This will give BPT information about how many people will catch the bus. The ordering process will request email and phone number. Somebody from BPT will be in contact by email prior to the event...and will keep you posted by phone if the schedule on Saturday gets messed up. The time is short; BPT wants to do whatever it takes to make this work. There will be a go/no-go decision at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, April 22nd to give people time to find other transportation if the bus doesn't go. BPT would really like to make this happen. Take the bus. Leave your car at home. http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/109675 Thanks a lot to: Brown Paper Tickets Gold Sponsor LinuxFest Northwest -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= www.psnug.org Puget Sound Network Users Group Building Technical Skills Through Teamwork And Education.

The founder, Will Scott Jordan, wants to make it easy for people in Seattle to get to the Fest. So BPT will be having a bus to Bellingham if there's enough interest. (Unfortunately, the bus ain't gonna help Will...he's stranded by the volcano in the UK.) The bus will come to Bellingham on Saturday morning and return Sunday evening after the Fest. If you want to ride on the bus, please go to http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/109675 Tickets are FREE, but they still need to be ordered. Click on "Begin Order" in the box "I wish to buy tickets for this event." This will give BPT information about how many people will catch the bus. The ordering process will request email and phone number. Somebody from BPT will be in contact by email prior to the event...and will keep you posted by phone if the schedule on Saturday gets messed up. The time is short; BPT wants to do whatever it takes to make this work. There will be a go/no-go decision at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, April 22nd to give people time to find other transportation if the bus doesn't go. BPT would really like to make this happen. Take the bus. Leave your car at home. http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/109675 Thanks a lot to: Brown Paper Tickets Gold Sponsor LinuxFest Northwest _______________________________________________ -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= www.psnug.org Puget Sound Network Users Group Building Technical Skills Through Teamwork And Education.

Just like LinuxCon, these keynotes represent leaders from community, industry and end users. Keynotes Include: *Ravi Simhambhatla, vice president and chief information officer at Virgin America. Simhambhatla will share how he sold the use of Linux and open source to internal colleagues and how he and his teams are maximizing it today. *Eben Moglen, founding director of the Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC). Moglen will discuss legal defense strategies for Linux and open source software projects, including an update on GPLv2 and GPLv3 adoption. *Stormy Peters, executive director of the GNOME Foundation. Peters will explore how data is being stored and accessed in the cloud and what that means for Linux and open source. *Jeffrey S. Hammond, principal analyst, Forrester Research. Hammond will present recent data that shows increased developer adoption of open source platforms, frameworks and development processes as well as heightened awareness by IT management of the benefits of a mixed source development model. *The Linux Kernel Roundtable Panel. The Linux Kernel Roundtable will include a hand-selected group of top maintainers that include: James Bottomley, Novell distinguished engineer and Linux Kernel maintainer of the SCSI subsystem, the Linux Voyager port and the 53c700 driver; Jon Corbet, Linux kernel developer and editor, Linux Weekly News (LWN); Dave Jones, Fedora kernel maintainer; Chris Mason; director of Linux kernel engineering at Oracle and creator of the btrfs file system; and Ted Ts?o, North America?s first kernel developer and fellow at Google. LinuxCon brings together technical and business leadership for unmatched opportunities to collaborate and learn about all matters Linux. In its debut year (2009), the conference sold out and was host for sessions that addressed developer, business and operations topics in a lively and collaborative atmosphere. LinuxCon welcomes everyone who has a stake in Linux. Linux users and developers will meet and learn from their peers as well as teach others, such as up-and-coming developers and new Linux users. LinuxCon eliminates the traditional tradeshow environment to provide a forum where attendees can educate themselves on the latest technical advances of the Linux platform. =================================================== For more information: http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/linuxcon Register Now at the Early Bird Rate of US$300!

Doors open by 6:30 PM for setup. Super fast T-1internet connections available. Along with the normal discussions, we will look at cloudcomputing, KDE4 capabilities, Linux video conferencing and small Linux distros such as NimbleX, TinyCore and Slitaz. TAPCUG Linux SIG and OLYMUG have been discussing bringing back a Raincoast-like event in October but more financially modeled after LinuxFest at Bellingham Technical College which is free to the public and happens every year in April. For now we will call it ComputerFestNorthwest. The key is finding a free or low cost venue. Since this is a volunteer effort that benefits the public, finding this free or low cost venue should not be difficult.

(Note: I was involved in the debate, but not strictly as a fanboi.) The VMUG conference on thursday was a further eye-opener, as many booths featured iPad integration in one way or another. Generally these involved the iPad as remote screen through use of VNC, RDP and Citrix clients, but then it does look a lot like the electronic notepad yoeman Rand carried around for captain Kirk to sign in Star Treck. Then I found the above link today as I was cleaning up mail. What is remarkable was that they had serious usage within 2 months of release, to say nothing of the xbox. The lines between 'legitimate business' and recreational toy continue to blur.

Using another uniform OS environment will simply lead to a similar attack using a vulnerability of the new OS. An intelligent person who understands computing as well as military theory, epidemiology or environmental science should be able to see the problems inherent in the system. Single layer defenses are rather easy to breech; when an exploit is discovered all systems become vulnerable. The security community is slowly waking up to this reality, but they are late to the party and slow besides. It has been too easy to blame the victims for most attacks, especially when the victims bear some responsibility - keeping patches up to date and monitoring security logs, for example are low priority, commonly skipped components of security. And let's not forget that cross- platform attacks are now common - cross platform in the sense of multiple OSes being vulnerable. The vulnerability lives in a cross platform application (Flash) that can be exploited. Anyway, netware/eDir were good protection, but to be honest they were dominant in a less connected world. Some of that protection was likely due to significant barriers to attack. Probably not most of that protection, but some of it. Still, in an environment where the servers are inherently protected from an exploit existing on workstations, and firewalls would need a third vulnerability, and switches a fourth total system failure becomes difficult. When you add in monitoring (security as well as system), decent firewalls, email filtering and antivirus it becomes very difficult to breach the system. Of course the environment is much more complex, but then you knew that, right?

The SeaMicro SM10000 and the Quanta S2Q take different approaches, but the theory is the same: Cram a lot of low-powered cores into a system to handle workloads with massive amounts of small transactions. Sounds like a job for Linux! http://www.linux.com/news/enterprise/cloud-computing/323061-lets-get-small-linux-enables-low-power-space-saving-systems Developed under the codename "Lisbon," the Opteron 4100 line is the definition of an entry level part, as the cheapest model will sell for just $99 for quantities of a thousand or more. Lisbon is a four- or six-core processor with clock speeds ranging from 1.7GHz to 2.8GHz, and power envelops as low as 32 watts and as high as 75 watts. Wattage and clock speed are, not surprisingly, tied together -- the faster the clock, the higher the power. http://www.internetnews.com/hardware/article.php/3889291 Why the Eclipse way works so well: http://www.devx.com/opensource/Article/45054?trk=DXRSS_LATEST&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+DevxLatestPublishedArticles+(DevX:+Latest+Published+Articles) -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= www.psnug.org Puget Sound Network Users Group Building Technical Skills Through Teamwork And Education.
