Summary:
Secure Boot and how to deal with the upcoming certificate updates that
are going to be required when the old Microsoft CA expires in June. Many
systems will need this update.
"I am hoping to go into the details of both installing your own
certificates if you don't want to use the Microsoft certificates and how
to deal with the Microsoft CA when you need to such as fulling the IT
requirements for your employeer when you want to run Linux as your main
operating system. I've had to deal with that to get my primary work
laptop dual-boot enabled and with working Nvidia drivers that needed to
be signed with a MOK."
Bio:
"While I got to play with my first Sun Workstation running Solaris back
in 1996, but it was getting Red Hat Linux where my interest really took
off. Since then, I have moved to better options and have spent some time
contributing to various distributions and even a little time with
FreeBSD ports. My primary job revolves around embedded engineering of
some sort. I am currently working at Intel and am one of the very few
people on the floor with an IT-approved Linux desktop for my primary
workstation."
