Lightning Talks
Lightning is an atmospheric discharge of electricity accompanied by
thunder. How lightning initially forms is still a matter of debate. Talk
is the interactive communication between two or more people. The process
for lightning talks is well known however. Join us January 26th for
Lightning Talks. If you wish to give a lightning talk, visit:
http://nylug.org/volunteers/wiki/LightningTalks/HomePage The following
lightning talks are anticipated:
* Brian Gupta: Using nginx and haproxy to build a software load balancer
* Aaron Grogan: IPv6
* David Berner: "CLI Tips" or "How I do my job despite being (almost)
totally clueless."
* Forest Mars: TBA
* Brian Gupta: Gentoo keychain -- a painless way to use ssh-agent
* Ron Guerin / Stefanie Schulte: Volunteering for NYLUG
* Sunny Dubey: Amazon EC2 - Building a custom Linux AMI
* Dallas Marlow: Varnish - HTTP Caching / Layer 7 load balancing.
