[Andrew Pollock]

	Canberra Linux Users Group Meeting - 23rd June 2005
	===================================================

Date:		23rd June 2005 (Fourth Thursday of the month)

Time:		19:00 - 21:00 (or when it finishes)

Speaker:	Alex Satrapa, Pascal Klein

Abstract:	
		Alex will give a brief presentation about running the
		OpenWRT Linux distribution on the Linkysys WRT54G
		wireless router. This demonstration will include
		uploading a new version of the software to the router,
		configuring WPA for the 802.11g network and VLANs for
		the Ethernet switch. Some firewall examples will be
		discussed, such as discovering and blocking access for
		specific applications (in our example, World of Warcraft
		and SMTP). 
		
		The firewall component will be applicable to all Linux
		systems, so anyone who is interested in learning where
		to start with firewalls on Linux should get some value
		out of this talk. This talk will specifically cover
		discovery of network utilisation using packet sniffers,
		and firewall construction using both the command line  
		
		Pascal is going to talk about the Gimp  
		
		The GIMP is a great little app, well rather a big app,
		empowering common users with a pleasant interface and an
		enormous repertoire of options to create and edit 2D
		graphics. He will go over a few techniques as well as
		some basics ranging from the layout, and the tools, thus
		helping you with your next little artistic idea, adding
		some more gimpers to the pool.
