Charter Telephone reviews, boylston?
by John Stoffel
Hi,
Anyone on here using Charter Telephone VOIP service? I've currently
got Verizon, but the wife hates it because our phone lines get flaky
all the time, esp when it rains.
So I'm thinking to save money and combine all my stuff onto Charter.
I've already got High Speed internet and regular old cable. Not wild
about Digital Cable since I'm happy with Tivo and I don't want yet
another set top box to have to deal with...
So, any horror stories about Charter Phone VOIP quality and service?
Thanks,
John

expanding Europe's Linux Presentation Day to the US
by Hauke Laging
Hello,
in May 2015 Berlin's Linux user group (BeLUG) has started a new type of event
which has spread quickly all over Europe: the Linux Presentation Day (LPD)
2015.1: Berlin only
2016.1 & 2016.2: 120+ cities in 15 countries
2017.1: first locations outside Europe (Canada, New Zealand, probably more)
I contact you because we intend to expand the LPD beyond Europe next year.
The aim of the LPD towards the general public is to provide biannual and
comprehensive information events about Linux for private users who would like
to get a first impression of Linux.
The aim towards the media is to make the event so big (both nationally and
internationally) that the nationwide non-IT media cover it regularly.
The aim towards the Linux community is that an LPD event can be so small and
easy to organize (even without costs) that really everyone can try to organize
an event with good chances of success. The local organizers decide on their
own what their event shall be like; we just make suggestions and offer
support.
You can find a longer description of the concept here:
http://www.linux-presentation-day.org/idea/
Are you as an organization interested in participating in the LPD? If not: Are
any of your members interested in helping us bring the LPD to the US?
This event is very useful for finding new LUG members.
Best regards,
(Mr.) Hauke Laging

Meeting Dec 8th at 7pm: Topic: Personal RPZ
by Tim Keller
Hey Gang,
Long time member Eric Martin has graciously stepped up to do another talk.
This time it'll be about setting up a personal RPZ server.
We all know we'll be setting lots of new devices up in the coming month...
RPZ is basically a "spam" filter for your DNS. It works to keep your
devices from gong to sites
infected with malware and "jam the lock" of any existing mailware
from getting back to it's command and control.
Eric will give an overview and explain a quick and dirty on how to set one
up.
Time: 7pm
Location: Campus Center Rm 301 (Haggland Rm. It's on the same floor as the
Mid Century room we're normally in, only at the top of the stairs take a
right instead of a left. We're still waiting for confirmation
After that we'll head down to Tech Pizza.
As usual snacks and refreshments will be provided.
Thanks,
Tim.
