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), one of the primary SELinux developers, 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 are planning a number of Lightning Talks, 5 minute talks from various conference attendees regarding a number of Linux and security related topics.
