The Southern California Linux Expo is this weekend in Los Angeles. Here |
| 2 |
are some last minute details: |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
The Expo has added one additional speaker. Doug Hass, Director of |
| 5 |
Business Development for ImageStream, will speak on “Advanced Quality of |
| 6 |
Service and Firewalls using Linux” |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
His presentation covers the key concepts of quality of service and |
| 9 |
access list filtering using Open Source tools. The presentation |
| 10 |
includes an explanation of filtering using Linux's iptables tool and |
| 11 |
standard queuing methods as defined in the Differentiated Services RFC |
| 12 |
as well as applications of these methods through generic case studies. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
The Expo has added another BOF, “Schools And Open Source Software”. |
| 15 |
There are a few BOF (Birds Of a Feather) session slots still available |
| 16 |
at SCALE on Sunday. If your group needs a meeting room for a BOF, |
| 17 |
contact gareth@××××××××××××××.com to reserve one. The current BOFs can |
| 18 |
be viewed at http://socallinuxexpo.com/scale5x/events/bof.php |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
If you live nearby, and have surplus electronic equipment you'd like to |
| 21 |
discard, you can bring it to SCALE and dispose of it legally. Access to |
| 22 |
the drop off point is a bit circuitous; we've created a map showing the |
| 23 |
approach and departure from the drop off area. If you are bringing |
| 24 |
equipment to dispose of, make sure you consult the map prior to leaving |
| 25 |
for the Westin. The map can be found at |
| 26 |

If you don't register ahead of time and have a question about the Expo |
| 29 |
during the Expo weekend, the SCALE phone number will be manned by |
| 30 |
Registration personnel during show hours. You can call 877-831-2569 and |
| 31 |

| 32 |
Registration. |
