I'm very interested in this topic! I occasionally use GPG on Windows
with Microsoft LookOut at work, but it's fairly rare that I send
"sensitive" information via email. I'd love to learn a better approach
though, as GPG with Outlook is kind of a pain the way I do it now.

BTW, I've been on the BLUG mailing list for a while now but haven't
introduced myself to the group yet or been to a meeting. Anyway, I
work at Ivy Tech with Jeremy during the day and "play" with computers
the rest of my free time (typical geek, I guess). In case you are
wondering about my references to Outlook above, yes, I am a Windows
user and a linux user. I spend more time in a Windows GUI than I do a
linux command line, and I think both have their uses. Even though
linux isn't my primary OS I still very much enjoy learning it.

I hope to attend a meeting soon, if you'll allow a Windows user; maybe
some of you can convince me to switch over from the dark side :)

Have your key fingerprints and photo ID's ready and we can have a
keysigning afterwards too, maybe at Nick's! :)

Re: [BLUG] Meeting presentation idea: OpenPGP/Gnu Privacy Guard

Yeah, everyday encryption is in my category of "If I had a full
understanding of it, I bet I'd do it all the time." Instead I dig it
out and read the manuals when I really need it, which isn't very
often, so I'm very unsure. A presentation would be great.

Re: [BLUG] Meeting presentation idea: OpenPGP/Gnu Privacy Guard

Count me interested! I'm sure I'd learn plenty. Holler when you want to
give it, and I'll schedule you.

Right now, I'm mulling the idea of giving a presentation on Zimbra
(open-source mail server, postfix backend) myself.

[BLUG] Meeting presentation idea: OpenPGP/Gnu Privacy Guard

I'm sure this one has been considered several times, but I didn't see it
in the previous meeting topics.

I'm something of a privacy nut, and I think everyone with email should
use GPG or equivalent. If it sounds like something the group would like,
I'm willing to prepare a presentation on GPG. This would include a
primer in RSA and asymmetric encryption, authentication vs encryption,
web of trust/key signing, and some demonstrations of GPG in action.

Anyone else interested?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

We got this in our support queue this week, thought I would pass it on
to BLUG:

To whom it may concern:

I may be barking up the wrong tree, but I was hoping for some help.
We are an IT Consulting Services firm HQ'd in Indianapolis. One of our
clients has a need for a full-time Unix Systems Administrator, and we
are trying to get the word out.
I do not know exactly what the users group does, but I thought maybe
there was an opportunity or way to let members know of the opportunity.
I called the Users Group number, and someone suggested I send this to you.
Let me know if you have any ideas or help for us, and I look forward to
the response.
Best regards,

[BLUG] Meeting aftermath

Hi, I just wanted to send a few links to the list for things that I
went over last night.

Asterisk:

http://www.asterisk.org/

Blender:

http://www.blender.org/

http://www.blenderartists.org/

Also, we are trying to start a local Bloomington Blender Users Group,
the website is at http://www.bl-ender.org/site/

If you click on the
link to forums, you can post to the thread to let us know what time
you'd be available for meetings. Or if you know anyone who is into 3D
graphics modeling and rendering on any software, you might pass this
along. Thanks.

Wine:

http://www.winehq.org/

Although you can install wine from most
distributions through the package manager. Here is a screenshot I made
yesterday showing me running 6 programs at once through Wine:

http://www.bloomingtonlinux.org/wiki/Image:Winemultipleapps3.jpg

Num-utils:

http://suso.suso.org/programs/num-utils/

http://suso.suso.org/programs/num-utils/cms/ (New site I'm working on)

You can actually install num-utils directly from apt in Debian or
Ubuntu and from portage in Gentoo. The 0.6 version should be out this
month.
