Music Encoding
Presented by Ryan Curtin on April 21, 2010
Located in Klaus Advanced Computing Building, room 2456
Overview:
Music compression and encoding tends to be a topic of hot debate although it really shouldn’t be. This presentation intends to demonstrate the advantages and drawbacks of various encoders (speakers will be present to give audio samples), explain the theory behind some of the encoding algorithms, introduce the tools used to encode audio, and shed light on the lossless/lossy audio debate.
This is the last presentation of the semester (upcoming meetings will be Meeting Lites).
Hope to see you there!

PGP
The Linux Users Group at Georgia Tech presents
“PGP”
by Scott Gilliland
April 14th, 2010, 7:00 PM
Klaus Advanced Computing Building, room 2456
Summary:
OpenPGP is a standard for cryptographic authentication and encryption,
and uses a web-of-trust model for determining the trustworthiness of a
particular certificate. If you want to get an encrypted or
authenticated message (or data) to someone you know, but don’t trust a
certificate authority like Verisign, the PGP is for you! This
presentation will recap the basic cryptographic operations and the
web-of-trust model. Then, we’ll go over the basics of key management,
and see how several email clients can be configured to use
OpenPGP-standard keys to encrypt and/or sign emails.

Webmin
Presented by Kurt Nelson on April 7, 2010
Located in Klaus Advanced Computing Building 2456
An overview of Webmin, a HTTP interface for doing everything. Virtualmin will also be covered, which is an extension to webmin that turns your server into a full blown web hosting system.
From the webmin website:
Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix. Using any modern web browser, you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and much more. Webmin removes the need to manually edit Unix configuration files like /etc/passwd, and lets you manage a system from the console or remotely.

Open Source Diversions
Presented by Chad Kersey on March 31, 2010
Located in Klaus Advanced Computing Building 2456
Perhaps you need a break from work. Perhaps you’re just bored. There
is quite a bit of open source software available to play with and/or
hack on as a cure for boredom. I’ll go over a few of the more
interesting open source games, emulators, and software toys.
