Re: Open-Hardware-Centric Group Forming in the Valley

 The reality is that there are now a great many different groups and
 events in the Phoenix valley.  Each of them could attract the some of
 the same sorts of people as the others.  And there are so many it is
 no longer possible to have a certain evening reserved for any one
 event.

 There are lots of days open. This is the second event they've scheduled
 the same night as a nearby event that has now been going for over a
 decade.

No, there are not.

Monday - As the beginning of the work week, no group chooses Monday
because it kills attendance before you even start.  See Friday.
Tuesday-Thursday - These are the much preferred days for an evening
tech gathering.
Friday - As the end of the work week, no group choose Friday because
that's when everyone parties or whatever.  See Monday.
Saturday-Sunday - These usually are for longer events that take several hours.

So, we have three days in the middle of the week to have an evening
meeting.  12 days per month.  Just 12.

A sampling of groups and topics from those meeting regularly in the
Phoenix valley taken from http://meetupstogoto.com:

Refocus Phoenix: Third Wednesday of every month
Social Media Club: Second Thursday of every month
Stealthmode Partners: Second Monday of every month
Creative Coffee: Last Tuesday of every month
Phoenix OpenCoffee: Every Thursday morning
Gangplank: Hacknight on Wednesdays
Creative Connect: Second Tuesday of every month
AIGA Arizona
Radiate Phoenix
Pecha Kucha: Phoenix
Phoenix InDesign User Group
Web Design  Development Group: Third Monday of every month
ASP.NET User Group: Second Tuesday of every month
Arizona SharePoint Professionls Group: Last Thursday of every month
Arizona Security Practitioners Forum: Fourth Monday of every month
Silverlight User Group: First Wednesday of every month
Phoenix Android Developers Meeting: Fourth Thursday of every month
Xcode Phoenix - Cocoa and OSX Developer Group: Second Thursday of every month
SQL Server Users Group: Second Wednesday of every month
Phoenix Rails
Phoenix Ruby User Group: Second Monday of each month
Arizona Flash Platform User Group: Fourth Wednesday of every month
Arizona Coldfusion User Group: Fourth Wednesday of every month
Phoenix Linux User Group: Dev - First Thursday, East - Second
Thursday, West - Fourth Wednesday of every month
Phoenix Java User Group: Second Wednesday of every month
Arizona PHP User Group: Fourth Tuesday of every month
Phoenix Python User Group
Arizona Macintosh User Group
Southeast Valley .NET User Group: Fourth Thursday of the month
Phoenix Linux User Group: Four meetings a month
Phoenix iPhone: First Wednesday of every month
NSCoder Night: Every Tuesday
Startup Drinks: Second Tuesday and last Thursday of every month
TiE Arizona: Second Wednesday of every month, quarterly mixers
Markamp
Tiny Army: First Wednesday of every month
Phoenix SEO Meetup Group
Arizona Media Buzz
American Marketing Association - Phoenix Chapter: Fourth Wednesday of
every month
Enterprise Network: Third Thursday of every month
Phoenix Friday Nights: Every Friday

And that is not all of the groups in Phoenix.  And that's ignoring
more traditional business groups in which some of the PLUG audience
may be involved.  Overlap will happen.  Just have to keep offering
quality stuff and people will come if they are interested.

 I see this as a good thing.  More choice, more energy, more community.

 I see it as annoying. Intentional conflicting times is not community
 building.

Intentional?  You're saying HeatSync Labs researched when PLUG was
meeting and purposefully chose the same day just to conflict with
PLUG.  I don't believe that at all.  They chose a day that worked for
their needs and the venue schedule.

Thu topics: new mobile devices

2010-01-11 Thread der.hans
moin moin,

There are lots and lots of new mobile devices coming out running Linux.

If you've got an n900, Pre, Droid, Nexxus One, Always Innovating Touch
Book, ZII Trinity, Emblaze First Else, Spica I5700, etc please bring it
along and share your experiences with the device. What rocks? What sucks?
Can you ssh in and play nethack? :)

If you have experience developing for one or more of the devices we'd love
to hear about them from that perspective as well.

ciao,

 I'm starting a new IRC meeting on the first and third Sunday of the month

 The first meeting will be next Sunday.

 The meetings are explicitly for planning PLUG activities and working on
 PLUG activities and infrastructure. Be prepared to help out if you show
 up.

 We will meet in the normal PLUG channel, #PLUGaz on Freenode.

 #PLUGaz
 20:00 on first and third Sunday of the month.

 Here's a web interface for Freenode.

 This is the same time ABLEconf meetings were taking place. Second and

I didn't mean to imply they were targetting a PLUG event. I think that's

There can be effort to avoid overlap. I didn't say there hadn't been some
effort. Effort or not, the conflict is annoying.

I'm saying they knew about the PLUG meeting and chose to schedule that
night anyway.

I wasn't implying that they looked at a list of nights with nearby PLUG
meetings and chose from that list.

Conflicting, not targetting :). Still annoying, but I wasn't attributing
malice.

Hey,

Everyone's favorite hack-n-slash security distro's been updated.
http://www.offensive-security.com/blog/backtrack/backtrack-4-final-release/

It's a LiveDVD now, and based on Ubuntu, rather than the Slax livecd scripts.

Have fun!

HackFest Series: Presentation Interweb Exposed Tuesday January 12, 2010 6:30 PM John C. Lincoln Hospital Cowden Center

2010-01-11 Thread Lisa Kachold
Yes. that's the same BT4  distro we have been using to build pentest
jump drive boot tools for our Hackfesters every month?

That's the same distro that the existing presentations materials were
developed for at:
http://plug.phoenix.az.us/security

And I believe that I posted that same message to the PLUG list 18
months ago when BT4 it was pre-released.

Phoenix Linux User Group HackFest Presentation January 12, 2010 6:30PM
at John C. Lincoln Hospital Cowden Center

Join the Penguins of the Desert on Tues January 12, 2010 at 18:30 at
John C. Lincoln's Cowden Center http://plug.phoenix.az.us/security/

January is Interweb Exposed as we trounce and tackle more of the
common myths of OSI security in a lab format, using tools from Linux
Distributions.

This month we will also look at Chaos, a nice little tool set for the
professional and novice alike.

SSDP, UPNP interwebs, multicast magic, and Miredo for home
networking from across the internet using encaps ipv6 ipv4 nat are
reviewed for sheer fun of it.

See you there - http://plug.phoenix.az.us/security
