May Meeting: Disk Partitioning, Ubuntu LTS, Net Neutrality
Date: May 6, 2010 at 7 p.m.
Location: Algonquin College (Woodroffe Campus), room T117
Disk Partitioning
Speaker: Lisa Lovchik
Disk partitioning allows having a hard limit on the size of a given filesystem
and allows having multiple operating systems reside on the same disk. The
speaker will describe disk partitioning and demonstrate the use of some disk
partitioning tools.
Ubuntu 10.04 - what's new?
Speaker: John Sebastien Taylor
A new LTS (Long Term Support) version of Ubuntu will soon be released. The
speaker will describe some of the features planned for Ubuntu version 10.04.
10 - 20 minutes
Understanding Net Neutrality, and "Throttling"
Speaker: Michael Richardson
Phone and cable companies have started practicing illegal search (and seizure)
of data flowing across their network ("throttling"), claiming it is to protect
their networks. In reality, the problems on their networks are due to
mis-design, and fundamental misunderstanding on their part about how the
Internet works. We used to use highway metaphors to explain the Internet. This
talk will re-adjust the metaphor to explain what was actually built, and why
the results are so hostile to citizens and grassroots democracy.
Approx 1 hour.
