[Cialug] Fwd: Cybersecurity Seminar at Area515 on 3/29!

[Matt]

Cybersecurity is certainly on-topic as far as I am concerned. Many Linux 
users are only exposed to it through server and network administration, 
and security should never be an afterthought when admin-ing one or the 
other.  Even desktop users should be thinking hard about security with 
as many bots that scour the web searching for vulnerable machines to add 
to their botnets.

Regardless of the fact that that event offered expert views on 
cybersecurity, several of the Area515 makerspace's founding members are 
people who are active members of the LUG.  There has always been a 
fairly large amount of overlap between the two groups.

I no longer have use of any of these types of announcements, since I 
moved away from the area, but I would have definitely appreciated 
hearing about any non-LUG events that offered learning opportunities for 
subjects I could use to become a better system or network administrator 
and Linux desktop user.  Now that I'm not there, I don't begrudge the 
list making these announcements because members who learned something 
there may be able to share that knowledge if a question on one of those 
topics ever comes up on the list.

Peace,

Matt (N0BOX)
