REMINDER: Upcoming WLUG Meeting

by Andy Stewart

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI Everybody, We have a WLUG meeting coming up on Wednesday, April 11th, at 7:00 PM in the Access Grid room on the WPI campus in Worcester, MA USA. At this meeting, Andy Stewart will give a presentation on his recent work with the Delcom USB I/O Development Board. Part of this work involves writing a Linux kernel device driver for the board, which will be discussed in some detail. This is my first attempt at writing a Linux device driver. The hardware is exposed to the user via sysfs. Reference usbled.c to get an idea of how this driver is coded. Another part of this work involves hardware add-ons such as an I2C memory chip and a character LCD display, both of which will be demonstrated at the meeting. Yes, we'll see some blinking LEDs, too! Afterwards, we'll talk about the May meeting, and my hope that we can have a PGP key signing party at that meeting. I'm looking for a volunteer or two to run the May meeting, since I don't know how to properly run a PGP key signing. Besides that, I'm hoping to get my passport back from the US Govt. before that meeting (it is being renewed). I'll bring these books for the free raffle: - The Ruby Way - 2nd Edition, Addison-Wesley - Java in a Nutshell, O'Reilly (used) - User Mode Linux, Prentice Hall We should also talk about this summer's WLUG party/BBQ. If there is anybody who lives nearby that would like to host the party, please let me know. (BTW, what ever happened to the pictures from last year?) We'll then adjourn to the Tech Pizza restaurant for food, drink, and good conversation. See ya later, Andy - -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group (http://www.wlug.org) Chelmsford Linux Meetup Group (http://linux.meetup.com/393) Amateur Radio: KB1OIQ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGGSVMHl0iXDssISsRAhakAJsGCJppUrc6ApUydyB8ySXWQuHWAgCePvG4 ySP5mx39OBBoOx7u2t7iNE8= =04D0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

He's not worried about security, he just doesn't want his mother to see those pictures of him mooning the camera. I suppose we can trust the cameraman to use the pictures only as you ask. I was thinking of putting some low-res, but recognizable faces on the WLUG web site, to help us (i.e. me) to remember names. The key signing just made me think of it, but had nothing really to do with the plan. I am not sure why anyone would object to that unless it has something to do with the witness protection program, or running from the law. But I have neither camera nor write access to the web site, so it is not for me to say. -- Keith

Generally, you want your public key to be widely distributed. Keeping the public key secret doesn't improve security.

I have a new digital camera I haven't even used yet. I'd be more than happy to bring my camera. I'm curious to understand, will these be publicly viewable pictures, or *only* viewable to those who have your key? (P.S. I've never made a key before, so this is a good topic for me.)
