I'm working nights now, so I'm not sure I'll be able to make next meeting. Any of the topics work for me, but I have an immediate interest in virtualization.

I'd be willing to give a talk on Linux virtualization beyond Virtualbox if anyone's interested. I've been running a CentOS-based virtualization server for a while now, so I could talk a bit about that. -Logan On Tue, Nov 22, 2016 at 8:10 PM, John Stoffel <john(a)stoffel.org> wrote: > > Ansible/chef/puppet/salt would be all good. > > Eric> I like em all, I'm down for giving the RPZ talk whenever. > Eric> On Tue, Nov 22, 2016 at 5:30 PM Tim Keller <turbofx(a)gmail.com> > wrote: > > Eric> Hey Gang, > > Eric> After last meeting, we were sitting around and started > brainstorming some > Eric> ideas for upcoming > Eric> meetings. > > Eric> Here were some of the ideas that came up... > > Eric> - 2 factor authentication > Eric> - Full disk encryption or partition encryption with luks + ubee > token > Eric> - Personal rpz > Eric> - Home automation with Raspberry pi > Eric> - Ansible and/or other automation / configuration tools > Eric> - git methodologies, i.e. now that you've got git, how to use it > Eric> effectively > Eric> - Modern Linux kernel compiling for fun and performance! > > Eric> Suggestions?

I will be hosting a key signing party tomorrow for WLUG. What is a key signing party you ask? A key signing party is where people get together in the real world and verify each other's identities so we may communicate securely in the digital world. *What do I need to do beforehand* Before the party, please email me your *FULL* PGP KeyID (gpg --fingerprint ${EMAIL} ) gpg --fingerprint ejmartin2(a)wpi.edu pub 4096R/C704B30F 2013-06-29 [expires: 2017-09-22] Key fingerprint = C74F 1EBF 2E80 7984 8CB5 064E BF17 D34C C704 B30F uid [ultimate] Eric J.
