*Phil Waclawski: Krita Basics: Tools, Layers, Coloring etc*
Krita is a powerful painting program, designed for graphic designers and 
general artists. I will introduce the basic features it provides, along 
with some special filters, including G'mic. I will however not be able 
to demonstrate any artistic skills :)

*About Phil*:
Phil has been a faculty member, focusing on open source software at MCC 
for nearly two decades.
Phil teaches a variety of course, including MySQL Database, PHP, Python, 
Javascript, HTML 5 and CSS, Linux OS, Internet Server Set up and more.
This summer, Phil will once again be offering a "MCC Multimedia Madness" 
summer camp for 6-8th graders. Over the two weeks I will cover a wide 
range of open source software, including GIMP, Inkscape, Krita, 
Audacity, Blender, Hydrogen Drum Kit, Tux Guitar, Openshot, Linux 
Multimedia Studio, work with green screen and more.
For hobbies, Phil has too many. Blacksmithing, archery, Leatherworking, 
Wood Working, Jewelry, Sound Recording/editing and SCUBA diving. Phil is 
also learning to play the Bass.
Phil has been using linux at home for desktops and servers since 1994.

*Ed Nicholson: DNSSEC DANE & NTPsec - Trust but Verify
*DNSSEC DANE and NTPsec - The basic infrastructure of the Internet 
hasn't seen such significant improvement since Jon Postel's 
contributions to the original DNS RFCs. DNSSEC is operational 
authentication of information served by authoritative DNS servers. This 
is the dawn of the believable Internet. An important consequence has 
been the emergence of DANE or DNS-based Authentication of Named 
Entities. And that adds confidentiality to believability. Even as 
Internet naming gains this new robustness, similar efforts are improving 
our access to time services with the NTPsec project. While not all 
Internet infrastructure has left the era of blind trust, the names and 
times we depend on are now things we can verify. This presentation is 
about consuming and deploying DNSSEC DANE and NTPsec services.

*About Ed:*
Ed has been involved with Free Software for some time. His interests are 
in how people, organizations and populations use, create and experience 
information. He enjoys The Prescott National Forest as his "office" and 
The Valley of The Sun as a home away from home. Personal systems run 
either Fedora, Project Atomic, Android or OpenBSD.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The meeting will start at 7pm at The Desert Breeze Substation.  People 
start arriving as early as 6pm, so if you would like to help setup
