Re: [BLUG] video on new network model

Hey, Jeff, thanks for sending this on to us.

He also gives an awesome history on the evolution of networking to
bring this whole "dissemination based networking" into a clearer
context.

I'm trying to put together a curriculum for a 12 day class I may be
giving (unless I come up with a better idea for a class by May) on the
history of computers, and this definitely helped flesh out my
understanding of the history of networking and get a clear idea of
what the new problems in networking are and where we may be moving in
the future.

Thanks!

planning on being there tonight?

Re: [BLUG] Meeting? Its TOMMOROW NIGHT

Let me be clear about this so there is no confusion. The meeting will
be tommorow night (Wednesday, the 13th) at 7pm. Not tonight.

Re: [BLUG] Meeting?

I was talking to David about this. I'm willing to have the meeting in
Suso's conference room again. But I think we need to have RSVPs and if
more than 12 people RSVP, we'll have to split up or find another
locations.

So one thing I'd like to do that might naturally limit the number of
people at the meeting is to specify only 2 topics that we will cover.
One of which is the Linux local root exploit that was just released on
Sunday and the implications of which (which are more far reaching than
you might realize). We'll probably also talk about security in general.

The second topic will be the Asterisk VOIP system. I'm trying to setup
an Asterisk server at Suso and could use some help. I'd encourage
anyone who knows how to configure Asterisk to attend. We can play
around with the various features of Asterisk. IP telephony is fun.

So let's set a time of 7pm in room 008 of Fountain Square Mall.
Please let me know if you plan on attending. I'm not sure if I'll be
getting a pizza yet, but I'll try.

Mark
