MHVLUG is proud to announce our October meeting: -------- DISTRIBUTED & CENTRALIZED AUTHENTICATION SYSTEMS --------------------
Paul Chauvet of SUNY New Paltz will be talking about Distributed & Centralized Authentication Systems including the Central Authentication Service (CAS [1]) project from jasig, OAuth, OpenID, and SAML. The talk will cover why you should use distributed authentication, technical details about the implementations, security implications of this, and more. Paul Chauvet is currently a systems administrator at SUNY New Paltz. He handles the colleges virtualization and email, and is responsible for backups and data security. He's currently focusing on linking disparate systems through centralized authentication. Paul has been with the LUG since the first year and now serves as our Publicity Officer. .... Lightning Talks * Erlang [2] - Dan Miller * Upcoming officer elections - Sean Dague * Logitech Squeezebox - Sean Dague * wicd [3] - Chris Knadle Before the main talk we will do a series of lightning talks (up to 3), each 10 minutes or less, on something Open Source related. It could be a fun new program, a book, a blog post, or really anything you think the wider MHVLUG community would find some interest in. People that have posted their talk subject to the website in advance have priority. Time permitting, we'll also take impromptu lightning talks from the floor. The meeting space opens up at 5pm for pre meeting general discussion, question asking, show and tell, and setup. All are welcome to join. If you are planning on using the projector for your lightning talk, please arrive at 5:30 to ensure we can work out any kinks with the projector prior to the meeting. The meeting will take place at Mid Hudson Library System Auditorium on Wednesday, October 5 at 6 pm. All meetings are free and open to the public, and everyone from all levels of expertise and interest in Linux and Open Source Software are encouraged to attend (and bring a friend or two)! After each meeting ends everyone is welcome to join in on an informal dinner gathering at the Palace Diner on Washington St. This is a great opportunity to interact with members of the local Linux community, and a forum where questions and comments are strongly welcomed.
