Top FOSS security vulnerabilities

2007-12-14 Thread Omer Zak 
http://www.linux.com/feature/123171 explains the philosophy and
reasoning of Palamida, which found those vulnerabilities.  I found the
article to be FUD-free.

http://www.palamida.com/node/513 lists the topmost 5 overlooked
vulnerabilities for 2007 according to them.

Of course, in their blog, they do not miss an opportunity to promote
their business (audit of corporate codebase to find uses of Free
Software and overlooked vulnerabilities).

DISCLAIMER:  I am neither affiliated nor customer (satisfied or
otherwise).  I only read some security related Web news items, and
thought it'll be good idea to bring those news items to general
attention.

[HAIFUX Lecture] High-end Video Editing with Cinelerra - Eli Billauer

2007-12-14 Thread Orr Dunkelman 
Next Monday, 17th of December, at 18:30 the Haifa Linux Club, will gather to
Eli Billauer's lecture about

High-end Video Editing with Cinelerra

Cinelerra is a high-end video editing tool for creation of
professional-looking videos and clips, targeting video share sites as
well as making DVDs. This no-slides presentation is a walkthrough of
the process of making an edited video: Importing raw video, two-screen
editing, tweaking the edits, image insertion, transitions, gradual
effects and finally rendering. No previous Linux knowledge or
experience is needed, nor is it necessary to install Linux to use
Cinelerra, thanks to a LiveCD (dynebolic), on which the demonstration
is based.

Should be very interesting, but the alleged link to the spreadsheet
with data (http://www.linux.com/feature/TKTKTK) seems to link to some
list of Linux.com features.

Do you have another link?

Thanks,
