From announce at lists.nycbug.org Mon Sep 14 16:04:12 2015 From: announce at lists.nycbug.org (NYC*BUG Announcements) Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2015 16:04:12 -0400 Subject: [announce] NYC*BUG: Upcoming and this Wednesday on OPNsense Message-ID: Were you at vBSDCon this past weekend? Hit talk@ with your impressions. ***** Sept 16, Wednesday, 1845 PM OPNsense: On the Shoulders of Giants, Isaac (.ike) Levy Stone Creek Bar & Lounge: 140 E 27th St Notice: this month will not be the usual first wed. Abstract OPNsense is a BSD-licensed, easy-to-use and easy-to-build FreeBSD-based firewall and routing platform. This presentation is a hands-on preview of OPNsense, and should appeal to a wide range of people looking for BSD based router and firewall platforms. With hands-on examples and gear on-site, we'll be covering: OPNsense Overview, a fast features walk-through As a fork of pfSense, why fork? Life with OPNsense today... Lots changing every week under the hood! Thanks to the stable FreeBSD Base, OPNsense is solid through changes. Goals through next spring... Implementation high-level, Technical aims of the project Why an appliance, why not a package? The roadmap/goals for 2016 Why a granular development process? HardenedBSD (Whaaaa?!) LibreSSL, OpenSSL Scratching my itch, Localized Translations! AWS/Cloud Images, (why? how?) OPNsense Project Future. ike's view of post-2016, many possibilities... Musing on building an appliance with FreeBSD Hands-on with hardware! Media [http://opnsense.org/] [http://dotike.github.io/opnsense.core.ja_JP.UTF8/] Speaker Bio Isaac (.ike) Levy is a crusty UNIX Hacker. ike, a long-time pfSense user, has moved on to become a contributor to the OPNSense project. Ike has been focused on i18n work, and Japanese translations, and for his sins, has been hacking on AWS AMI builds: http://dotike.github.io/opnsense.core.ja_JP.UTF8/ In 2006, ike gave an overview on pfSense and it`s mother project m0n0wall, which were new and exciting router platforms back then, "throw your Linksys/SoHo/WiFi router in the garbage where it belongs" In 2010, ike gave an overview of life with pfSense in Datacenter/Large deployments, "you might wanna` put your Sonicwall/Juniper/Cisco routers up on Ebay." A long-time community contributor to the *BSD's, ike is obsessed with high-availability and redundant networked servers systems, mostly because he likes to sleep at night. Standing on the shoulders of giants, his background includes partnering to run a Virtual Server ISP before anyone called it a cloud, as well as having a long history building internet-facing infrastructure with UNIX systems. .ike has been a part of NYC*BUG since it was first launched in January 2004. He was a long-time member of the Lower East Side Mac Unix User Group, and is still in denial that this group no longer exists. He has spoken frequently on a number of UNIX and internet security topics at various venues, particularly on the topic of FreeBSD's jail(8).
