From announce at lists.nycbug.org Mon May 1 17:44:19 2006 From: announce at lists.nycbug.org (Announcements only list for NYCBUG (announcements are not cross-posted to other lists).) Date: Mon, 1 May 2006 17:44:19 -0400 Subject: [announce] May 3 Meeting Message-ID: <0B8D4853-7F43-4140-9A90-BD229B142AF8@sddi.net> May 03, 2006 Mischa Diehm: VPN & Mickey Shalayeff: PAE This is a special Two Part Meeting Suspenders Bar 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM 111 Broadway & Thames directions are here: http://suspendersbar.com/directions.html Part 1: VPNs with OpenBSD in large corporate networks Large corporate networks are traditionally a mess. Historically grown, designed and maintained by a number of different people and never really intended to be secure. Above all big companies are operating globally and often use the internet to connect their locations, employees and 3rd party supporters. We need very flexible ways to deal with the vast number of requirements to secure these networks. This talk will show different practical approaches in building flexible secure VPNs with OpenBSD at different network levels. About Mischa Mischa is working on VPN and Firewall deployment at GeNUAmbH in Munich, where he maintains large scale network and firewall setups. Part 2: Implementing PAE for OpenBSD/i386 Not yet committed to OpenBSD, Mickey has been working on PAE for OpenBSD i386. Essentially, it`s about supporting up to 64 gig of physical memory. About Mickey It is hard to find some code which Michael has not at least influenced in OpenBSD. He seems to be dextrous on any hardware platform and is equally well versed in PCI as he is SCSI. Mickey is readily available on the message lists and is always happy to help impart some of his vast networking knowledge to beggars and sysadmins with a smile. He recently left New York City to cause havoc in Berlin.

We'll also be selling tshirts to raise funds for the OpenBSD Hackathon. . .so make sure you're ready to contribute. * * * * * * A reminder that BSDCan 2006 is just two weeks away. Our schedule has been announced and we're putting the finishing touches on the social calendar. We have a great line up of talks and bofs ready for you. Be sure to get in on the biggest BSD event of the year! As is tradition, you can pick up your registration pack at the Royal Oak pub. Stay for a pint or two and have dinner with us. FYI: The FreeBSD Developer summit will ensure that many of the FreeBSD committers will be at BSDCan. They wind up their session on Thursday and most of them will be with us at the pub.
