*Please note that due to the Melbourne Cup this month's meeting is on
Wednesday*
Speakers:
• Russell Coker, Computer Science and SELinux
• Lev Lafayette, Parallel Programming
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Russell Coker, Computer Science and SELinux
Russell will cover the algorithms and computer science principles
implemented in SE Linux. He will also cover some of the history of SE
Linux in terms of algorithms and design principles. This talk is about
OS design and systems programming. There will be very little content
about using SE Linux as that has been covered in other lectures.
*Russell Coker* has been working on SE Linux since 2001. He writes most
of the policy for Debian. He has done lots of other Linux development
over the years, mostly involved with Debian development.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lev Lafayette, Parallel Programming
Parallel programming is the implementation of simultaneous computation
typically applied through either tasks or data. In this introduction the
need, core concepts, potential problems, and implementations will be
described and illustrated with multiple examples in R, Python, C, and
Fortran.
*Lev Lafayette* is a systems administrator at the Victorian Partnership
for Advanced Computing. He has been a member of the Linux Users of
Victoria committee for a very long time, collects postgraduate degrees,
plays simulation and roleplaying games, and is known to annoy
politicians with regularity.

This event is a hands-on lesson in installing a MTA (Mail Transfer
Agent). It would be best to have a laptop, tablet, or phone with MUA
(Mail User Agent) software installed. A basic knowledge of system
administration is required. The work will probably be done in groups as
it's likely that the number of people attending will exceed the number
of virtual machines.
Russell Coker has done lots of Linux development over the years, mostly
involved with Debian.
There will also be the usual casual hands-on workshop, Linux
installation, configuration and assistance and advice. Bring your laptop
if you need help with a particular issue.
