Nice report-- almost feel like I wasn't there. Guess we didn't attend many of the same sessions. It was good to hear about the others.

T'so and Tweedie on the kernel: worth it! And everything on XFree86 and KDE, also excellent.

Kudos to USENIX and the volunteers, regular boy (and girl) scouts: cheerful, thrifty and kind.

Looks like Brad Templeton wants more regular users to encrypt mail too. But will the proprietary mailers like M$ Outlook include it?

Thawte used to do PGP key signings based on email turnaround. They stopped about a year or two ago. They still (as far as I know) issue free S-MIME certs, including having a web-of-trust program for adding your name to the cert, rather than just your verfied email address.

Nice report--almost feel like I was there. Something along

the lines of Becker's talk seems like the basis for a good

article.

If that report makes you feel like you were there,

read Seth's.

Fabric-Based Computing Enables Optimized Hyperscale Data Centers

Today’s modular x86 servers are compute-centric, designed as a least common denominator to support a wide range of IT workloads. Those generic, virtualized IT workloads have much different resource optimization requirements than hyperscale and cloud applications. They have resulted in a “one size fits all” enterprise IT architecture that is not optimized for a specific set of IT workloads, and especially not emerging hyperscale workloads, such as web applications, big data, and object storage. In this report, you will learn how shifting the focus from traditional compute-centric IT architectures to an innovative disaggregated fabric-based architecture can optimize and scale your data center.

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
