Hello,

(if you are on the SELinux mailing list, this is the same message that
was sent there -- but you did sign up, right? :-)

On Saturday March 5, 2005, the Central PA Linux Users Group will be hosting a
Security Conference near Harrisburg Pennsylvania.  The conference will be
geared toward individuals, organizations, and businesses with a technical
interest in Linux related networking and security.

You may recognize the date -- this conference is the day after the SELinux
Symposium.  So, if you can't get off work for three days, or find the SELinux
Symposium difficult to afford, this conference might be right up your alley.
And, if you are going to the SELinux Symposium, what a better way to end the
week than by going to this one as well? :-)

We booked a room at a local college, and will be able to accomodate up to 200
people.  We have a number of really neat folks coming to speak.

The speaker lineup is as follows:

  * Ed Reed, Novell's "Security Tzar", will be delivering the keynote titled
  "2005: The Platform Hardening Revival".

  * Russell Coker (RedHat), you know him, you love him, he will be giving an
  SELinux presentation.

  * Marcus Ranum (Tenable), known as the inventor of the proxy firewall and
  implementor of the first commercial firewall product, will be speaking on
  "System Logging Tools and Tricks for Geeks".

  * Jon Nelson, of the PA State Police Computer Crimes Unit and a member of the
  Philly LUG, will be speaking on "Computer Crime Law, Trends, and Security
  Basics".

  * Brandon Hale, a Hardened Gentoo developer, will be discussing "Advanced
  Memory Protections with Linux".

  * Eric Andreychek (CPLUG), will be speaking on "Getting Started with
  SELinux".

We'll have 5-6 hours worth of presentations, as well as informal discussions
before, after, and throughout the conference.  At the end of the day, we also
are planning a number of Lightning Talks, 5 minute talks from various
conference attendees regarding a number of Linux and security related topics.

If you or anyone you know are interested, you can get more information as well
as register at the conference website:

Seating is limited, so if you are interested, be sure to register soon.

If you have any questions, please feel free to let us know.

We look forward to seeing you there!
  -Eric
