------------------------------
For our 2014-07-15 BALUG meeting, at least presently we don't have a
specific speaker/presentation lined up for this meeting, but that
doesn't prevent us from having interesting and exciting meetings and
discussions. Sometimes we also manage to secure/confirm a speaker too
late for us to announce or fully publicize the speaker (that's happened
at least twice in the past). Got questions, answers, and/or opinions?
We typically have some expert(s) and/or relative expert(s) present to
cover Linux and related topic areas. Want to hear some interesting
discussions on LINUX and other topics? Show up at the meeting, and
feel free to bring an agenda if you wish. Want to help ensure BALUG
has speakers/presentations lined up for future meetings? Help refer
speakers to us and/or volunteer to be one of the speaker coordinators.
Good food, good people, and interesting conversations to be had.
So, if you'd like to join us please RSVP to:
rsvp(a)balug.org
**Why RSVP??**
Well, don't worry we won't turn you away, but the RSVPs really help
BALUG and the Four Seas Restaurant plan the meal and meeting, and with
sufficient attendance, they also help ensure that we'll be able to eat
upstairs in the private banquet room.

For our 2014-04-15 BALUG meeting, at least presently we don't have a
specific speaker/presentation lined up for this meeting, but that
doesn't prevent us from having interesting and exciting meetings and
discussions (heck, at the last meeting our conversations carried on as
long or longer than when we have a speaker, despite not having a
speaker for the meeting). Who knows, we may discuss HeartBleed and/or
many other interesting bits and stories. Sometimes we also manage to
secure/confirm a speaker too late for us to announce or fully publicize
the speaker (that's happened at least twice in the past ten or so
years). Got questions, answers, and/or opinions? We typically have
some expert(s) and/or relative expert(s) present to cover Linux and
related topic areas. Want to hear some interesting discussions on
LINUX and other topics? Show up at the meeting, and feel free to bring
an agenda if you wish. Want to help ensure BALUG has
speakers/presentations lined up for future meetings? Help refer
speakers to us and/or volunteer to be one of the speaker coordinators.
Good food, good people, and interesting conversations to be had.

------------------------------
TODAY! for our February 2014-02-18 BALUG meeting, we're proud to present:
Michael Paoli on Linux Unified Key Setup (LUKS)[1]. LUKS has now been
available for Linux for years, is commonly used for drive encryption,
is recognized by the kernel, and is well supported by most major Linux
distributions, including at time of installation, making drive
encryption on Linux very conveniently available. In this
talk/presentation, Michael Paoli will give an overview of LUKS,
including why one would want to use it, at least basic features and
usage, and demonstration on multiple Linux distributions.
About our presenter Michael Paoli:
Michael has in excess of a decade of experience in both Linux and Unix
systems administration, including work in quite secure environments and
much practical security knowledge and expertise. He's also been making
practical use of LUKS for years, and has been quite involved in various
Linux, Unix, Open Source and related User Groups in the Bay Area for
many years now.
