Topics for upcoming meetings!

by Tim Keller

Hey Gang, After last meeting, we were sitting around and started brainstorming some ideas for upcoming meetings. Here were some of the ideas that came up... - 2 factor authentication - Full disk encryption or partition encryption with luks + ubee token - Personal rpz - Home automation with Raspberry pi - Ansible and/or other automation / configuration tools - git methodologies, i.e. now that you've got git, how to use it effectively - Modern Linux kernel compiling for fun and performance! Suggestions? Let me know! Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Linux Drivers contract opening in MA

by John Spencer

We have a contract with an existing client in the Westford/Chelmsford area looking for a Sr Linux Drivers engineer for a contract opening. It is currently budgeted through the end of the year, but could be extended beyond that as they are working on 2017 budgets now. Our client needs someone with strong Linux drivers experience. Ideally someone with Yocto and the LXP processor from NXP, but those are not hard requirements. The key is strong Linux drivers skills. Please call or email me with if you are interested or have any questions.
