All this talk about spam and the problem it causes and the debate over where it should be stop has made me think.
I personally don't have the technical/infrastructure/legal expertise in general or linux in particular to do a topic on it, but I was wondering whether some net guru would be willing to do a session on it at one of the upcoming SLUG meetings? I'm sort of thinking that an overview on things like where it comes from (countries, dodgy or lax providers etc), what could be done at a national or international level to reduce its impact, what ISPs could be doing, what companies and individuals could be doing. So not so much of an indepth technical foray, but something that could help attendees see the scope and the actions or inaction that are affecting the situation. What do people think? I do wish I had the understanding to put this together myself, but I don't. Still what's been said on the thread lately has me thinking what can I do to help SLUG? Hopefully I'll have an answer eventually.
