Main Topic: Security - Panel Discussion

Running a server? Is it Secure? Do you even know?

With all the high speed internet connections available to us, it's quite common to build a Linux server and drop it on the network. But, too often, not enough attention is paid to securing that shiny new server. This month, we're having several invited guests, who each have been around the block once or twice to share some of their wisdom and to help us make the internet a safer place.

Invited panel members:

Flavio DaCosta		confirmed
Jim Small		confirmed
Tom Zerucha		confirmed
Mike O'Connor		Invited

(We've invited a few others, and we're still waiting for confirmation from them)
