Topic: "Crypto for IT Staff"

Presenter: James Leinweber, WI State Lab of Hygiene

Blurb: Ever wondered how HTTPS or SSH work? Puzzled over the difference between public key cryptography and block ciphers? Worried about MD5 hash collisions invalidating your digital signatures? We'll take you on a tour of basic cryptographic concepts, then use those to understand how things we use routinely work, and finish with some advice on using cryptography wisely. This is an introductory level talk for people who know a tiny bit about computers and network protocols, but know little or nothing about cryptography, and want to become educated consumers. Hardly any math, and nothing beyond high school algebra.

Topic: "Free/Libre/Open-Source/Permissive/etc. LICENSING!"

Presenter: Josh (Yoda) Cowles

Blurb: Enter the exciting world of software and media licensing, including the Richard Stallman personality cult, the ostensible license-agnosticism of Linus Torvalds, the legal innovations of Lawrence Lessig, and what it all means for YOU.

This is meant to be a somewhat interesting introduction to/history of this style of licensing. It is not meant to be a highly technical discussion of caselaw - though if anyone is interested in a particular technical application or aspect of licensing, please feel free to e-mail me before the meeting and I will do my best to address it. jmcowles AT gmail DOT com

THIS IS NOT THE NORMAL MEETING ROOM!!

Topic: "Building tools from source: an introduction"

Presenter: James Leinweber, WI State Lab of Hygiene

Blurb: Have you ever needed to compile something from other people's source code? Wondered what to do with an RPM or Debian source package? Wanted to dip a first toe into that ocean of open source? We'll talk about finding source code, unpacking it, building it, installing it, and managing it. No programming knowledge is necessary. This is a hobbyist level introductory talk; professional software developers typically already know most or all of this.
