The thid Thursday in August being on the 15th, it may feel a bit early
this month. But still, this meeting of BayLISA< the sysadmins and net
admin group of the Silicon Valley Bay Area, should not be missed.
Because of Linux World Expo in S.F. this week it is possible that a great
many interesting folk from out of town may be present.
But our speaker for the evening will be
Nathan Good
Nathan is currently with HP Laboratories' Information
Dynamics Lab. In the past he worked at Xerox PARC in
Human Document Interfaces, and at the University of
Minnesota on the GroupLens project.
The topic?
Interface Design and Security
Security is a big thing for many of us as sysadmins these
days but it is, in a much more subtle way, also an issue
for users. HP Laboratories did a study into the interface
of Kazaa and how its interface allows users to share
much more data than they thought they were sharing.
The location of course, is the usual
Incyte Genomics

And the timeframe is

There will be snacks, sodas, fellow administrators to hang out with,
and announcements of whatever sorts you feel inclined to before the
speaker begins.
Anyone is welcome to join BayLISA as a member, or to encourage their
companies to become corpoarate members. We also sell pint glasses and
T-shirts. The older style cyan t-shirts are almost gone but we have
plenty of modern black ones :)

the speaker finishes and make sure we're all going to the same address.
