Upcoming meetting reminder
by Andy Stewart Feb. 6, 2010

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI Everybody, I've just updated the website...sorry that I let it get so out of date. We have a meeting coming up on Thursday, February 11th in that meeting room next to the Morgan Hall dining center. It is very close to the former Access Grid room where we used to meet. If anybody is interested in leading the discussion or giving a presentation, please let me know, or just bring it to the meeting. If I know in advance, I'll announce it on the website - this often attracts more people to the meeting. Our last meeting was rather lightly attended, perhaps because I didn't get the reminder out in enough time. I pulled together a talk about how I used libHaru to generate PDF output from a program that I wrote. I could bring in another program (Perl script) that I wrote to get data out of a ham radio related piece of test gear. It is the very first native Linux program in the world to talk to this device. I know because I asked for (and received!!!) a previously unpublished specification from the vendor. Sweet! I will be releasing this program under the GPL v3 shortly. I'm looking forward to seeing lots of people at the next meeting. Of course, we'll go out after the meeting for pizza and socializing. See ya later, Andy - -- Andy Stewart (KB1OIQ) Founder: Worcester Linux Users' Group Founder: Chelmsford Linux Meetup Group President: PART of Westford, MA (WB1GOF) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFLbMOOOjiraCaOTOoRAn1VAKDMXUtofVI0u+zAZ7Fu9vMz784V2gCbBMIX 2m57SJ6XZD7fS2W1Kr1bGHA= =2/vz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I need a penetration tester (individual or firm) to run some tests against my network. Anyone have any recommendations they care to share? Thanks! Tal

201 CMR 17 - "Standards for the protection of personal information of residents of the Commonwealth" - takes effect March 1
by Ryan Pugatch Feb. 1, 2010

Feb. 1, 2010

Hello all, Just wanted to remind everyone that 201 CMR 17 takes effect March 1! If you're not familiar with this regulation, it specifies policies, procedures, and security requirements that are needed if you store a minimum of first initial and last name in conjunction with a social security number, drivers license/id number, financial account number (credit, debit, bank account number), or an access code or PIN/password that would allow access to a bank account. This doesn't just apply to companies that accept credit card payments. Think of it from an HR point of view as well. The regulation is available at: http://www.mass.gov/Eoca/docs/idtheft/201CMR1700reg.pdf Best, Ryan
