firewall talk and IBM Open Source stance

[der.hans]

moin, moin,

firewalls keep coming up as topics for some reason :).

Anyway, 13 June I will be doing a Linux firewall presentation for
AZSAGE. I will only be covering current state, e.g. kernel 2.2.x and
ipchains. Time limit is just a bit more than an hour. The presentation
will be at the IBM offices downtown, 2929 S. Central, doors open at
18:30. They were contemplating taking RSVPs, so please pay attention for
that.

As a pre-show, one of the local IBM dudes will be going over IBM and its
Open Source position.

If there are any particular features you'd like to see let me know. I make
no promise to even think about covering them :), but I will try to
incorporate suggestions. Please don't flood the list with requests. Flood
my PLUGd@LuftHans.com mailbox instead. If I get a bunch of stuff I will
post a summary to the list.

Also, please remember I am no security or firewall expert. I just worked
my way through this stuff and am willing to allow people to laugh at my
knowledge level in a public arena ;-).

ciao,

der.hans

PS Their July topic is NT and *NIX working together. They list Jean doing
firewalls in Aug, but that had to be cancelled due to Jean's schedule
being full.
