Bluetooth is short-range wireless technology that interconnects various electronic devices within range. Billy Pucyutan is currently the head of the Mobile Systems and Applications Group of the Advanced Science and Technology Institute - a research and development unit within the Department of Science and Technology. ==Open Source Surveillance: How to Make Your Home the Next PBB Set by Miguel Paraz and William Yu== Abstract and speakers' profiles pending ==Using Crypto, by Paolo Veñegas== An overview discussion of developments in crypto technology leading to its state today, and its applications, followed by a look at open source implementations, and how they can be used in computing and development. Paolo Veñegas is a developer concentrating on open source technologies, currently doing software engineering for InfoWeapons Corporation, working with networking, IPv6, and security. He used to be the Vice President of the Cebu GNU/Linux Users Group (CE-GNU-LUG), and participates frequently at free software training and advocacy workshops. ==PostgreSQL: Managing Roles and Privileges by Charlton Lopez== Database security essentially begins with how we define users and roles within the database and what privileges we grant them. For this seminar in PostgreSQL, see a viable approach in setting up and maintaining a security model and learn how to confirm privileges granted to users and roles Charlton Lopez is currently an Associate Database Consultant in SQL*Wizard, a company that provides services for Oracle middleware and development tools. He worked previously as a technical and training consultant in Q Linux Solutions where he developed a PHP course guide with basic introduction to MySQL and PostgreSQL. He is also a former system administrator in Wiggleworx, a wireless consulting firm assimilated by Information Gateway where he co-maintained the Smart Zed TextMail service, which runs entirely on Linux and other open source technologies. ==Getting to know Gentoo Linux by Eduardo Tongson== This will be an introduction to Gentoo Linux. Get to know the virtues of this very powerful metadistro. Along with its package management system portage we can see why it is the platform to provide a flexible base system on which to build any dynamic solution to a problem. Ed is a self-taught system admin who currently works for an online entertainment company. Enjoys dabbling with operatings systems but primarily runs BSD and Linux. ==SSH Tricks! by Mike Liguit== rsh and rlogin, nonencrypted applications for remote shell logins, like telnet, are now outdated and insecure to use. The SSH protocol suite, however, is a network connectivity tool which encrypts all traffic (including passwords) to effectively eliminate eavesdropping, connection hijacking, and other networklevel attacks. OpenSSH is the most common free version of SSH and is virtually available on all Unix-like operating systems. And incidentally, OpenSSH provides not only secure remote logins, but loads of tricks useful for squeezing the most power out of SSH! Mike Liguit is currently the Chief Technical Officer of Cerberus Technologies and Lead Technical Consultant for 8 Layer Technologies, Inc., companies which focuses mainly on network security and free and open source software (FOSS). As a former board member of the Philippine Linux Users Group, he has conducted seminars on Linux and FOSS on various universities around the Philippines, most recently in Cagayan State University in the city of Tuguegarao. Hes also a parttime Linux instructor at Global Knowledge Associates and occasionally, New Horizons Computer Learning Centers For information and widest dissemination. -- Paolo Alexis Falcone Secretary, FY 2005-2006 Philippine Linux Users' Group Inc. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
