Hi,

Last night was the meeting of the Ottawa Amateur Radio Club.
(http://www.oarc.net). I had a talk to give about our new website, so
I had a chance to plug FreeBSD. To this end I grabbed a bunch of PCBSD
DVDs from Dru yesterday, I got rid of all the i386 DVDs as handouts.
I had one person ask about netbook support. I have/had no idea. I think
that one might have to be a standard FreeBSD install.

Now, to the install fest. As you know we had one fairly productive mini-install
fest involving only OCBUG members, meant as a dry run for a more ambitious
public install fest. We'd like to do another one before trying for anything
more public, again with only OCBUG members present. This way we get egg
on our faces only with ourselves. We had lined up another installfest
for last weekend (March 6), only to see ourselves duly snowed in with one
person totally unable to show up. Normand has foolishily (thank you Normand!)
agreed to host a final second one at the end of this month. (March 27).
I think we could use one or two more people as guinea pigs, if that is
ok with Normand. (Up to him)  

So to this end it would be good to move the regular beer'n'pizza
meeting to the Wednesday March 16. Dru cannot make it to the March 27
intallfest, but it would still be good to discuss an upcoming larger public
installfest with everyone in the group. Would that work for everyone?

March 27th is still on.  More people makes it more fun!
For lunch, it could be home cooked chinese things or a 7 course italian 
meal.

Quick question... The regular meeting would be next Wednesday, so where/when are we considering moving it?

I was just about to write up the ~1 week announcement :)

Dru has been unable to attend Wednesday night beer'n'pizza nights.
If Dru is able to attend the regular night on March 16, then there is 
no need for a change. Dru is this the case?

I can't attend Wednesday nights but don't change the date on my account.

OK, we'll stick with next wednesday this month and then ask the people who show up if we should migrate it back to the second thursday night :)

Subject: [ocbug] [ocuug] Inviting the OCUUG to Ottawa IPv6 Summit - April
	29th
Message-ID: <AANLkTim9o+BM4j-GatTMAq027pxzN8Pck3bSuBGLe240@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

As you may already know IPv4 addresses are running out.  At this time
it's predicted that Asia/Pacific will run out sometime in the next 6
months; Europe and North America will soon follow.  The successor to
IPv4, is IPv6 and will soon be required to access all of the internet.

I'd like to invite you, and your group, to the IPv6 Summit scheduled
for April 29th, and held at the University of Ottawa.  The summit will
serve as an introduction to IPv6 specific issues for people that
setup, debug, and manage network infrastructure. We are planning a
full day event with an intro/business-case stream, a technical stream,
and a "demo" room where people can test their portable equipment's
IPv6 compatibility.

The conference is still open for speaker submissions and we'd welcome
topics that may relate to IPv6 and your groups specialty.

More information can be found on our official website
http://ipv6summit.ca (available over IPv6).  You're also invited to
follow us on twitter, identi.ca, and facebook.
http://artengine.ca/community/modlab-en.php
See you in April.

- The Ottawa IPv6 Summit Organizing Team

Once again, in an attempt to improve the attendance at the monthly meetings, we are going to move the meeting night to the SECOND THURSDAY evening of the month.

That means that the next meeting will be Thursday, April 14, 2011

I will send a reminder note before the next meeting.

Cheers,

	Available
Message-ID: <C27E34A1-1AF1-49F2-B1BA-2D09FC42210D@usenix.org>

On behalf of the first USENIX Workshop on Free and Open Communications
on the Internet (FOCI '11) program committee, we invite you to submit
short position papers or work-in-progress reports on policies or
technologies to detect or circumvent practices that inhibit free and
open communications on the Internet. 

Please submit all papers by May 1, 2011, at 11:59 p.m. PDT.

FOCI '11 seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners from both
technology and policy backgrounds to share their experience in this
field of study. We encourage submissions of new, interesting work on a
wide variety of topics of interest, including but not limited to the
following areas:

* Evaluation or analysis of existing anti-censorship systems
* Comparisons of existing performance-measurement tools that might be
used to detect tampering (e.g., violations of "network neutrality")
* Studies and findings on censorship or tampering from field deployments
(e.g., what content various countries are currently censoring, the
extent to which ISPs are degrading certain types of content)
* Analysis of the economic impact of censorship
* Metrics for deniability and robustness
* Performance metrics and benchmarks for detecting content tampering or
performance degradation
* Detecting and measuring the censorship of search results
* The design of network protocols and topologies that resist tampering or
censorship
* Techniques to counter mass surveillance
* Policy-related issues

Submissions are due by May 1, 2011, at 11:59 p.m. PDT.

For more details on the submission process, please see the complete Call
for Papers at http://www.usenix.org/foci11/cfpa/

We look forward to receiving your submissions!

Subject: [ocbug] [ocuug] USENIX LISA '11 Call for Participation Now Available
Message-ID: <EA3CC4F3-BC3A-4264-B4C3-2DEE34CBEA69@usenix.org>

The 25th Large Installation System Administration Conference (LISA
'11) doesn't exist without your great papers!  This year we've added new
categories to make it easier to submit.  Email lisa11chairs at usenix.org
if you want to bounce ideas off us.

The Call for Participation with submission guidelines and sample topics
can be found on the USENIX Web site at:

http://www.usenix.org/lisa11/cfpa/

On behalf of the Program Committee, we would like to invite you to
contribute proposals and ideas for LISA '11.

The theme for LISA '11 is "DevOps: New Challenges, Proven Values."
DevOps is "an umbrella concept that refers to anything that improves
the interaction between development and operations."  While usually
associated with Web operations, the tools and techniques are now being
mainstreamed into the enterprise.  While DevOps is new, it embodies
themes long popular at LISA: automation, performance, scaling,
collaboration, and cooperation.

The conference's diverse groups of participants are matched by an
equally broad spectrum of activities, and we invite proposals and ideas
for them all:

* Refereed papers are written papers, 8 to 18 pages long, that describe
work that advances the art or practice of system administration.

* NEW! LISA '11 will now include practice and experience reports.  Each
report will describe a substantial system administration project whose
story reveals lessons worth sharing.

* Talks are 30- or 60-minute presentations by experts on a single topic
of interest to system administrators.

* Guru sessions:  Q&A with an expert!  Are you a guru?  These sessions  
are
a chance to share your expertise with your fellow system administrators.
For the audience these are a chance to get your questions on a specific
topic or technology answered by an acknowledged expert.

* Poster Session: This is your chance to share an idea that could turn
into something more formal at next year's conference.  Posters are a  
good
way to get feedback on research that may not be "ready for prime time."

* Workshops are half-day or full-day sessions for small groups
(typically no more than 30 people) to share ideas and knowledge.

* The training program offers tutorials that are also half-day or full- 
day
sessions but, unlike workshops, tutorials are generally intended for an
instructor to share knowledge, not to be open discussions.

* Birds-of-a-Feather sessions (BoFs) are informal gatherings held in the
evenings.  Topics range from use of a particular software package or
product, through folks wanting to talk politics, to people interested in
a particular aspect of computing.

LISA '11 takes place December 4-9, 2011, in Boston, MA.

We look forward to hearing from you!

On behalf of the LISA '11 Organizers,

Thomas A. Limoncelli, Google, Inc.
Doug Hughes, D.E. Shaw Research, LLC.
