We will not be at Algonquin this month We will be at Dymon Storage in Kanata for this meeting

As this is September and the beginning of the new year at Algonquin, we do not have an assigned room yet. This should be cleared up for October.

This month we will have two talks, one from Ian on PBX log data extraction and one from Scott on anonymous data collaboration.

Pre-meeting:

There will be a one hour pre-meeting item from 17:30 to 18:30 for people who are new to Linux, have general questions, or wish to help out with people who are just getting started.

After Meeting Social:

After the meeting, there typically will be a social event at one of the nearby pubs or restaurants. A short discussion and vote as to location will be taken at the end of the talks.

GPG Keysigning:

After the main talk and possibly the BoF, there will be the opportunity for a GPG key signing. This is a monthly offering, just look for Scott after the talk and we can go from there. Bring some kind of photo ID and some keyslips if you expect people to sign your key.If you need some method of creating pages of keyslips, there is an online slip generator available.

Speaker: Ian Gorman

Ian will be giving a short talk and demo of some work he is doing for the National Capital Freenet's phone system.

Ian has a lot of experience at applying experience outside of its original box.

He has solved problems in Economics, Math, Computer Science, logic based controllers, bicycles, and human relations, generally mixing in information from at least one other discipline or computer language to make it work, or work better. His experience with computers includes Linux, Mac, and several server OSes from IBM, Sun, and others. He has worked with drivers, parsers, API design, business rules, Java garbage collectors, and some less exotic code that just needed to work.

Speaker: Scott Murphy

This will be a talk on the PirateBox project, which is an anonymous internet-disconnected network for collaboration and file sharing. There will be a demo as well as the talk.

Scott has been haunting server rooms and using/administrating Unix and Unix like systems for more than 30 years now. His background includes IT infrastructure, system administration, deployments and migrations, security and management. He is currently working as a consultant for the federal government.
