[CALUG] Meeting Announcement Nov 11 -- Tim Spangler on Apache | and BSidesDE

[Chuck Frain]

Greetings All,

For the November 11 CALUG meeting we will be given a presentation by our
own Tim Spangler. He'll be giving us an overview talk on Open Source Apache.

For those interested, BSides Delaware will be taking place on November 13th
and 14th. This is a free conference taking place at Wilmington University
New Castle Campus. They will be having the traditional tracks and will be
having a track for kids. More information can be found at
http://www.bsidesdelaware.com.

December meeting note: There is a conflict with our host, OmniTI, for the
December 9th meeting date. Therefore we'll be meeting over at Unallocated
Space that night and taking part in their open house and lock picking
night, presented by Toool. We'll learn how locks work and how to pick them.


Open Source Apache from 10,000 feet.

Tim Spangler will discuss Open Source Apache from a 10,000 foot view, to
provide a general overview of a variety of Apache features and day-to-day
usage.  More specifically, Tim will cover a very brief history of web
servers and Apache, and then will cover Apache basics, configuration and
troubleshooting tips, the basics of rewrite rules and forward proxies,
securing your site, and using Apache as a load balancer.  The discussion
will also briefly cover using openssl to create SSL certificates, and, if
time allows, making Apache highly available using keepalived.
