Upcoming talks

[Glen Ogilvie]

Hi,

As discussed last meeting, we have a couple of upcoming talks planned.

• Talk on Security and Linux.. hardening, etc.
• Talk on time series databases (graphite, influxdb and elasticsearch) - Glen
  
• Talk on code migration from SVN to git using Linux tools - Hugo
• Talk about the new Ubuntu - Xiaoqian

Anyone got topics they would be willing to talk about, or want to hear about, to add to this list?

Anyone wanting to run a hands on tutorial / lab, these tend to be really interesting as well.

I've been thinking about running another firewall lab.

Is there any interest for longer labs that cost money?  - Say labs that cost $200 - 250 for a half day lab, examples might be:

• understanding docker by writing your own docker engine in python
• writing selinux rules to protect your app
• writing a usb driver
• bash programming

The money would go to the presenter for their effort on creating the content, with a minimum of 5 people attending, plus maybe a bit for a venue if needed.

Cheers

Glen

Looking forward that one, if it is something a bit comprehensive, eg
what are the open sources tools available, what are they
advantages/use cases, best practice, dos and donts, ... Client side
tools, scripting, avail graphical interfaces, ...
As well, I found myself being happy with InfluxDB+Grafana until we
started to experience server overload and UI slowness, certainly due
to bad "measurement" organisation. So +1 for something that would
cover "efficiency" and "optimisation" too.

From scratch or using docker-py? ;)
Scripting docker with python is lot of fun indeed...

I think it is a good idea, not sure about the price tho.
"Professional" people might not mind to spend 200/250 $, hobbyist and
hackers might find it a bit expensive...

+1 for the initiative.
