SouthEast LinuxFest 2014 - Day One
Fri 20 June 2014
After a crazy cab ride from the train station I arrived at a hotel that is in the general area of SouthEast LinuxFest (SELF) but not co-located. *sigh* This side of Charlotte isn't as pedestrian-friendly as it could be.
The first day (Friday) of SELF was pretty good. I generally stayed close to the security track which included talks on DNSSEC, IPv6, and a history of information security. All very interesting and, specifically the IPv6 talk, got my head going. Being a former network guy I hadn't had to think about the impact and possibilities of IPv6 on enterprise networks and the infrastructure that resides on those networks. I also learned of a "new" firewall that deserves a closer look.
On the Fedora front, I was able to work on a few Docs Project pieces that needed some collaboration to get straight. I'm also talking up my thoughts on implementing a process to help manage (and close) security bugs within Fedora.
I'm hoping day two is just as good as today was.

Southeast LinuxFest Day Three started off with a... headache. Not a hangover but one of those random migraines that I've been trying to ward off with medications. It wasn't debilitating but it was annoying enough to keep me out of the Puppet Labs class.
I was able to hack on …

Day two at SouthEast LinuxFest (SELF) began way too early as I had not received enough sleep. Of course this is a Linux conference; who really gets enough sleep during these things?
Ben had already setup the Fedora table in the conference area of the hotel so I helped with …

Day 1 of SELF was quite busy. Several Fedorians met for a FAD to discuss FUDCon finances. Ideas were hammered out and Max or Jared or ... should be posting details on that later.
After the finance talk, Jared and I got together and started hashing out a framework on the …
