Need topic for May meeting

by Andy Stewart

HI all, Well, I'm trolling for a topic for this meeting, and I'm sure that as always, we'll come up with something. Along the lines of my previous email, are there any "serious" web developers out there who would care to show us how they do it with Linux ? If not, are there volunteers in the audience who'd like to address WLUG on some topic? The floor is open.....

Creating web content with Linux

by Andy Stewart

HI everybody, I gave my "Introduction to Linux" presentation to a group of Internet professionals in Hopkinton last night (http://www.ip495.org) I was asked a question which I could not definitively answer since I am not a creator of web pages. The questions are: What tools are available on Linux for creating web content? Is there something akin to FrontPage for Linux? Sure, for simple HTML, any text editor will do. I've even used OpenOffice, but it feels crude to me (maybe I just don't know how to use it properly). GIMP could be used to create still images. Beyond that, I'm lost. Do I smell a topic for an upcoming meeting ? Thanks, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

I'll take the mini towers if they haven't gone to some yet. Bring them to the May meeting.

Free systems to good home...

by Theo Van Dinter

I thought I'd throw this out and see if anyone was interested... I've got 3 machines just sitting around collecting dust that I'd like to give away. They're pretty much base-bones (case, ps, mb, cpu) although I may have some memory for the P120 and the P200 (have to check when I get home): P120, Mini-Tower P166, Full Tower P200 Overdrive, Mini-Tower If you're interested in grabbing one of these, let me know and I'll bring it along to the meeting tomorrow night. :) -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "To his dog, every man is Napoleon, hence the constant popularity of dogs." - Susan Vick

I've only received a few PGP keys, but there's still time left to get your key created and submitted for Thursday's keysigning party! Thursday night you'll need: 3.2 What participants should bring to the party 1. Themselves - you cannot participate virtually 2. Two forms of positive picture ID - a driver's license and passport are good 3. Key ID, Key Type, Hex Fingerprint and Key Size info (NOTE: please print out your own copy of your key to compare against my copy when you arrive.) 4. A Pen/Pencil 3.3 What Participants Should Not Bring to the Party 1. A Computer

Reminder: WLUG Meeting

by Andy Stewart

HI everybody, This is a reminder about the upcoming WLUG meeting, to be held on Thursday, April 22, at 7:00 PM at the usual place (the Access Grid room at WPI). At this meeting, we'll be having a PGP keysigning party, as described by Chuck Anderson in an email earlier this week. I hope a few people will be there to share how they make this work from their favorite email program. I haven't been entirely successful with Kmail, but I'll share just the same. Even if you don't have a PGP key, come over anyway to learn about this technology and to chat with others. I'd also be happy to relate to you the results of the "Introduction to Linux" class which I've recently finished teaching for the Chelmsford Community Education program. I'll be teaching this class again in September, and we're currently planning a much more advanced class. Also, bring along your ideas for future meetings! Afterwards, we'll venture out for pizza and beer at the newly renovated Boynton Restaurant - you won't recognize the place! See ya later, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

Next meeting - PGP Keysigning?

by Charles R. Anderson

Ok, I'm not sure if this will fill the meeting's entire timeslot, so feel free to come up with another discussion topic. If you want to participate in the PGP Keysigning Party, here's what you need to do. This is based on GPG Keysigning Party HOWTO (http://www.cryptnet.net/fdp/crypto/gpg-party.html) which I highly recommend you read if this is the first time you are using GPG. You'll need to do these ahead of time *before* you arrive at the meeting, preferrably on a secure, local terminal (i.e. not in a computer lab or the public library or remotely from another system, or on a system running an insecure OS). 1. Generate A Key Pair gpg --gen-key (Default values are good. I would use 2048-bit key.) 1.5 Generate a revocation certificate gpg --output revoke.asc --gen-revoke <keyid> (save this revocation certificate offline in multiple places, print it out, put it in your safe, etc.) 2. Send Public Key To Designated (pgp.mit.edu) Keyserver gpg --send-key --keyserver=pgp.mit.edu <keyid> 3. Send Public Key Info To Coordinator Please email me (cra(a)wpi.edu) the output of: gpg --fingerprint <keyid> 4. Print a paper copy of your Public Key info from Step #3 I'll collate the keys and prepare copies of the public keys for all participants to use as a check list. Example output from Step #3: pub 1024D/49BB5886 2001-04-11 Charles R. Anderson <cra(a)wpi.edu> Key fingerprint = EBA3 A106 7C93 FA07 8E15 3AC2 C367 A0F9 49BB 5886 sub 2048g/B0817A13 2001-04-11 In this case, my <keyid> is 49BB5886, which is the same as the last 8 hex digits of the fingerprint. You can use your email address as <keyid> in the command if you forget your actual key id. So my full key information is: Key ID: 49BB5886 Key Type: DSA Hex Fingerprint: EBA3 A106 7C93 FA07 8E15 3AC2 C367 A0F9 49BB 5886 Key Size: 1024 bits (The DSA key is always 1024 bits. The ElGamal Encryption key is 2048 bits in my case, but isn't needed for the keysigning party.) 3.2 What participants should bring to the party 1. Themselves - you cannot participate virtually 2. Two forms of positive picture ID - a driver's license and passport are good 3. Key ID, Key Type, Hex Fingerprint and Key Size info (NOTE: please print out your own copy of your key to compare against my copy when you arrive.) 4. A Pen/Pencil 3.3 What Participants Should Not Bring to the Party 1. A Computer

I have been dragging my feet but, with your posting, got gpg and got to the first step of you slides, gpg --gen-key At that point, I could not remember what default type you had recommended. I realize this is not critical, but like to stick to the same as the rest of the crowd in a KISS mode. :-) So, if you'll pick a default, I'll go on to the next step and report back for help at the next stumble :-) Oh Yes. Count me in as interested! Thanks for volunteering. doug

I'd be game. Who wouldn't want to travel to Worcester with passport in hand? ;) BTW: I ran the 2 keysignings at LISA 03 and had http://www.biglumber.com/ recommended to me as a useful site to organize key signings in the future. I haven't poked around it too much, but it may make life easier. :) -- Randomly Generated Tagline: How do Crays and Alphas handle the POSIX problem? -- Larry Wall in <199709050042.RAA29379(a)wall.org>
