SL LUG Meet Saturday 29 April - GPG Part 2 + 'Best Robot' Competition

The next meeting of the SL LUG will take place on Saturday 29th April, 12pm SLT (8pm GMT, 9 pm CET) at Maryport (182,150). As usual you can find the location using the find (Events -> check upcoming -> search for 'Linux')



The redesigned meeting place with better seating and a stage for presentations went down very well, it still needs some tweaks (and perhaps some more / different seating poses).

If you have any comments or suggestions please don't hesitate to contact myself (ninjafoo Ng). Also, if you have an AV with specific seating requirements we are more than willing to set you a reserved seat fitted with a pose of your choice.

GPG - Part 2
The next meeting will feature the second installment of Dale's talk on GPG, where he will be covering the use of GPG in practice.

Best Dress Competition

There were 3 entries to the 'Best Dress' competition. From left to right : Angel Sunset, ninjafoo Ng and Zi Ree.

Congratulations go to Angel Sunset who wowed the audience and took the prize with a clear majority of the votes.

I spent the remainder of the evening in my big red dress. Well, you can't buy a dress like that and only wear it once

The talk will be a continuation of the one I did on the last meeting. I didn't have time to do all of it at once, so I will assume that people are familiar with the basic concepts of public key cryptography.

If you're unfamiliar with the subject can find information on Wikipedia, for instance, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_key_cryptography and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_of_trust.

If you have any questions, ask them here, or in-world.

Oh crap crap crap, missed the meeting. So much for SL's event notifications.
Sorry. Wanted to catch the GPG presentation, too.

The contents of the events announcement have been updated

Dangit. I almost never get to work, one day I do and it's a UG meeting.

After this next week (exams), I should be able to finally attend a meeting.

"Best Robot"? Drat, I thought the contest was "Best dress". A robot, I would have had a shot at.

Odd tho, I was online during the time listed and didn't see a notification about it.
