NYLXS Agenda Spring 2008
This month NYLXS is going to implement several programs and workshops
which will be hopefully of interest and use to membership and the general
gnu/Linux public.
After the last meeting March 4th, 2008 it was determined the following
programs are to be put in place. This email is a general notification
to the public and a call for participation. Programs are developed with
NYLXS funding and due.
Workshop Programs and proposed start up dates and locations:
GTK and C programming Workshop: BiWeekly evening Meetings

This old time game has GPLed Source code that demonstrates some
of the less commonly used graphic and sound libraries available
for GNU Programming and teaches basic game theory
Network security and Hacking Workshop: Evening Weekend Weekly Program to
explore methods of hacking into programs and networking with emphasis on
learning how such malware exploits are created and how one can
protect against such exploits. The first sessions will focus
on PHP exploits using Data Injection techniques as outlined in
“Hackers Magazine' January 2008
Practice Networking Workshop and LDAP Services: Evening Weekly: Lead
by our resident expert, Robert Marino, LDAP, and SASL will be explained

leadership in place for these workshops, the burden of the NYLXS board

You must be a stupid engineer then, because politcs and technology have been attached at the hip since the 1st dynasty in Ancient Egypt. I guess you missed that one."
