Hi all,
I've had some interest in a meeting in West Norfolk, so I'm trying to
help arrange it. I'll be happy to transport some people and kit from
King's Lynn to the meeting and back. It will be a "kit fixing and
demos" workshop type of meeting.
If you want to attend, please email me off-list so I get an idea of
numbers. If you'll be there and have a request for topic or to avoid a
particular date/time, please mention it and I'll try.

ALUG meeting on Sunday 27 June 2004, 14:00
Common Room, Nelson Court, UEA
Campus map is at http://www.uea.ac.uk/campus_2004.pdf
There is a carpark charge of £1, or you could park outside the campus, or get
a lift from me.
On Thursday we all have the chance, together with our families, friends and
all those we can influence to vote in the European Election.
Look here:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~mikepitt/cambridge_politics/euro04.html
Scroll down to the table that shows the previous results. It seems to me
that if we made a concerted effort despite our own political convictions
to vote UKIP we may be able to unseat the sitting Lib Dem!
This will send message, very painful for the man, who will lose an income
of about £75000 > £100000 and expenses, to the man, and the party, that
due to their voting against our interests in the last parliament we have
decided to vote against their interests in this election.
This can be rammed home if he does get unseated by sending him, or the Lib
Dems office an email telling them that those against Software patents
worked to unseat a Candidate of the party that voted the 'wrong way'!
Its brutal and unkind, but it will let Politicians know that we are a force
to be reckoned with!

Subject: [lugmaster] FW: SANE 2004: Call for Posters
could you please pass this Call for Posters for SANE 2004 around?? The
deadline is approaching and we need posters :)
http://www.nluug.nl/events/sane2004/CfPosters.html
----------------------------------
Call for Posters
4th International SANE Conference
September 27 - October 1, 2004
RAI Centre, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
A conference organized by the NLUUG, the UNIX User Group - The
Netherlands
Co-sponsored by Stichting NLnet and with the co-operation of USENIX,
the
Advanced Computing Systems Association
OVERVIEW
Technology is advancing, the systems administration profession is
changing rapidly, and you have to master new skills to keep apace. At
the 4th International SANE (System Administration and Network
Engineering) technical conference and tutorial tracks you'll find a
wealth of opportunities to meet other system administrators and network
(security) professionals with similar interests, while attending a
program that brings you the latest in tools, techniques, security and
networking. You can learn from tutorials, refereed papers and invited
talks. The official language at the conference will be English. The
conference will be located at the Amsterdam RAI Congress Centre.
Included in the conference are:
* Tutorial Program (September 27-29)
* Technical Conference (September 30 - October 1)
* Exhibition (September 30 - October 1)
POSTER SESSIONS
The SANE Posters provide an excellent forum for authors to present
their
work in an informal and interactive setting. Posters are ideal for
presenting speculative, late-breaking results or for giving an
introduction to interesting, innovative work. Posters are intended to
provide authors and participants with the ability to connect with each
other and to engage in discussions about the work.
The posters will provide information about the applications,
architecture, implementation, performance and security of modern
computing systems and IP networks. Posters that present Work In
Progress
and draw important conclusions from practical experience are especially
welcome. Posters are being solicited in areas including but not limited
to:
* Security tools and techniques: IPsec, Network Intrusion Detection
* Systems, Firewalls, VPNs, practical cryptography, auditing and
* computer forensics
* Attacks against networks and machines, including
denial-of-service
* attacks
* Adventures in nomadic and wireless computing
* Web security fundamentals and practical web site maintenance
* Integrating new networking technologies like IPv6
* Network monitoring and traffic shaping solutions
* System and network performance tuning
* Managing enterprise-wide email and fighting spam
* Innovative system administration tools and techniques
* Distributed or automated system administration
* Managing large amounts of computers
* Unix on the desktop (including MacOS X)
REFEREED POSTER SUBMISSIONS
Successful posters are carefully designed to convey technical details.
They should also attract the attention of attendees as they stroll past
the displays. The goal is to develop a poster that encourages and
facilitates small groups of individuals interested in a technical area
to gather and interact.
Posters will be reviewed and selected by the Poster Committee. An award
will be given at the conference for the best poster.
A submission must include an abstract of up to 400 words. Including a
rough sketch of the poster is recommended. Also include the URL of a
web
site related to the poster, if applicable. Submissions must be done
through this web form
Authors of accepted submissions must provide a one or two page summary
for publication in the conference proceedings. This brings the subject
to an even larger audience. These summaries are held in the highest
confidence prior to publication in the conference proceedings. By
agreeing to present your poster at SANE 2004, you also give permission
to the SANE 2004 conference organizers to publish the poster and
summary
on the NLUUG and SANE web sites.
PRACTICAL
* One author per accepted poster can attend the conference,
* exhibition and social event free of charge, excluding travel and
* lodging expenses.
* The posters will be located in a public area, close to the
* exhibition, viewable for all conference attendees.
* The size of the board for the poster is about 1.40 meter wide and
* 1.00 meter high. Note that this is landscape orientation! Push
* pins can be used to attach material to the board.
* There is a small table beside each poster with room for leaflets
* and a laptop for a live demo. If you need more room consider
* getting a booth at the exhibition.
* The posters are to be set up Wednesday evening, September 29.
* During both lunch breaks someone must be present at the poster to
* interact with conference attendees. At other times this is also
* possible, putting a time schedule on the poster is recommended.
IMPORTANT DATES
Submission due: June 7, 2004
Notification to authors: June 28, 2004
Summary due: August 16, 2004

Following the vote in favour of software patents on Tuesday in the
Council of Ministers, it is now especially important to make MEP

It's a 300 seater lecture theatre, and this has had to be organised at
the last minute, so please help us publicise it and get the word out.
