Subject: [ocuug] 9twm (twm with a "Plan 9" theme)
Message-ID: <681101.94021.qm@web55304.mail.re4.yahoo.com>

Hi all,



I've been hacking .twmrc the past few days, and in
conjunction with a simple mod to .xinitrc, it is my attempt
at making twm impersonate Plan 9 from Bell Labs as much as possible
without adding any extra software or widgets other than those native to
X. (For example, the .xinitrc lines suggested below use xload in place
of stats from Plan 9.)



The final result equals the looks and sensibilities of Plan 9, but with
the behavior and functionality of twm. One glaring omission on the
aesthetics side is Plan 9's big fat pointer arrow. Instead, I've opted
for a skinny little thing (draft_small) that is much closer to the root
window cursor in 9wm. 



Another omission is the "Hide" function in the menu. As far as I know,
twm doesn't have that trick. (If I'm wrong, then I'm more than happy to
stand corrected. I consider myself only an intermediate Unix user, and
am still climbing up that learning curve.)

For the full text of the "9twm" .twmrc and .xinitrc files, please visit my original post on the topic in the FreeBSD forums.

Feel free to try it out and let me know what you think!



Cheers,

James

Subject: [ocuug] FOSS Cloud Computing - this Wed morning
Message-ID: <4AA2CDA8.70904@livinginternet.com>


Hi, this Wednesday morning I'll be demonstrating our all FOSS solution at
TheCodeFactory:  http://www.fosslc.org/drupal/node/463

After several years of work we've integrated a complete system - from
secure networks to desktop to applications - from the best of the world's
FOSS.  And then we put it in the cloud so you can access it on virtual
Ubuntu desktops anywhere you can access the Internet.

Our full solution enables an organization to operate without any
proprietary software at all.  Much of the software we've integrated is
listed at our publicly donated Wiki: http://freeopensourcesoftware.org/

Hope to see you there!

Cheers,
Bill

Subject: [ocuug] September Meeting - Wednesday, September 16, 2009
Message-ID: <4AA9C697.5040300@ovsage.org>

Looks like the consensus is the third Wednesday of the month. Mark your
calendars accordingly. That would make this month's meeting Wednesday,
Sept 16, 2009. I'll not be attending this one, as I have a conflict and
my wife wins.

Just as a reminder, next Wednesday (September 16) is the third Wednesday
of the month.

For those who do not remember, (that's everyone, as this is a change to
our schedule) that means the Ottawa-Carleton Unix Users Group gets
together for an evening of conversation, beverages and food (not
necessarily in that order).

It's been a slow turnout, so we are hoping that the change in meeting
night's makes a difference. If you have the free time, come out and let
us know what's been happening with you.

Details:

Colonnade Pizza & Restaurant, 280 Metcalfe (at Gilmour)
18:00 (6:00pm)
Wednesday, September 16, 2009

	Approaching
Message-ID: <7624D9EA-99DB-4714-A5A8-3D5EA52CBA58@usenix.org>


The Program Committee for the 3rd USENIX Workshop on Large-Scale  
Exploits and Emergent Threats
(LEET '10) invites you to contribute to your work.

Now in its third year, LEET continues to provide a unique forum for  
the discussion of threats to the confidentiality of our data, the  
integrity of digital transactions, and the dependability of the  
technologies we increasingly rely on. We encourage submissions of  
papers that focus on the malicious activities themselves (e.g.,  
reconnaissance, exploitation, privilege escalation, rootkit  
installation, attack), our responses as defenders (e.g., prevention,  
detection, and mitigation), or the social, political, and economic  
goals driving these malicious activities and the legal and ethical  
codes guiding our defensive responses.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Infection vectors for malware (worms, viruses, etc.)
* Botnets, command, and control channels
* Spyware
* Operational experience
* Forensics
* Click fraud
* Measurement studies
* New threats and related challenges
* Boutique and targeted malware
* Phishing
* Spam
* Underground markets
* Carding and identity theft
* Miscreant counterintelligence
* Denial-of-service attacks
* Hardware vulnerabilities
* Legal issues
* The arms race (rootkits, anti?anti-virus, etc.)
* New platforms (cellular networks, wireless networks, mobile devices)
* Camouflage and detection
* Reverse engineering
* Vulnerability markets and zero-day economics
* Online money laundering
* Understanding the enemy
* Data collection challenges

Paper submissions are due Thursday, February 25, 2010, 11:59 p.m. PST.
Submissions guidelines and more information can be a found athttp://www.usenix.org/leet10/cfpa

LEET aims to be a true workshop, with the twin goals of fostering the  
development of preliminary work and helping to unify the broad  
community of researchers and practitioners who focus on worms, bots,  
spam, spyware, phishing, DDoS, and the ever-increasing palette of  
large-scale Internet-based threats. Each author will have 15 minutes  
to present his or her work, followed by 15 minutes of discussion with  
the workshop participants.

LEET '10 will take place on April 27, 2010, in San Jose, CA, and will  
be co-located with NSDI '10: http://www.usenix.org/events/nsdi10

We look forward to receiving your submissions!
