Hi all,

Following up on this now that CompCon 2015 is over.

Russell's talk was very popular with ~50 students in attendance (by my
recollection), which was fantastic - along with the other talks we had from
Red Hatters and IBMers who spoke on open source, it was great to see
interest from so many students. Many of the conversations I had with
attendees indicated that interest in contributing to open source and free
software is alive and well among CS students!

Russell also spent a lot of his time after hours having in depth
discussions with students - I'm aware of at least one student who made her
first commit to a Python project while still at the conference, which is
awesome.

So thanks to Russell for doing this, and thanks to Linux Australia for
funding it!


Andrew

While list servers don't check SPF it's impossible for SPF to help in this 
regard.  While list servers don't implement SRS all subscribers have to either 
white-list the list server or not make a SPF error a hard failure which 
greatly limits the utility of SPF.

In most cases there's no point in having a list server or other forwarding 
service pointing to a list server.  So it would probably make sense to have 
strict SPF checks on mail sent to list servers.  However even that would do 
little good as most people sending mail don't have SPF enabled for hard-fail 
because of these problems.

I've just enabled SPF checks for the LUV list server.  I'll investigate SRS 
next.

* Systems Administration Best Practice
* Containers and orchestration
* TLS everywhere
* Monitoring and metrics. Collection, storage and presentation
* Infrastructure/Platform/Software as a Service (IAAS)
* Virtualisation and Cloud Computing
* IPv6
* Software Defined Networking (SDN)
* DevOps
* Configuration Management
* Bootstrapping systems, Lifecycle Management
* Dealing with BYOD
* Backups in a virtual/distributed world
* Troubleshooting techniques
* Buying Decisions
* Web and Email management
* Keeping legacy systems functioning
* War stories from the "Real World"

Presentations should be of a technical nature and speakers should assume 
that members of the audience have at least a couple of years experience in 
Unix/Linux administration.

Format of Presentations
=======================

We are now seeking proposals for presentations at the mini-conference. We 
have openings for:

     45 minute double-length presentations
     15-20 minute full presentations
     5-10 minute "lightning talks"

Please note, due to the single day available (and whole-LCA keynote before 
morning tea), we expect the majority of available timeslots to be 20 
minutes or less. We have a general policy of accepting a high proportion 
of proposals but handing out relativly short timeslots. Please see 
previous years Miniconf schedules for examples.

Submitting talks
================

Please note that in order to give a presentation or attend the Miniconf 
you must be registered (and paid up) for the main linux.conf.au 
conference. Presenting at the Miniconf does not entitle you to discounted 
or free registration at the main conference nor priority with 
registration. Unfortunately the Miniconf has no budget for sponsorship of 
speakers.

Submissions should be made via:

http://sysadmin.miniconf.org/proposal16.html

Questions should be sent to:

lca2016 @ sysadmin.miniconf.org

Dates and Deadlines
===================

To encourage early submissions priority (both of inclusion and scheduling) 
will be given to presentations submitted before the 8th of November 2015. 
Please indicate if you need an early confirmation to aid you in arranging 
time off work or travel.

     2015-10-31 - Deadline for early submissions
     2015-11-08 - Early submissions confirmation
     2015-12-12 - Deadline for submissions
     2015-12-19 - Confirmation of all presentations
     2016-02-02 - Sysadmin Miniconf held.

Contact and Questions
=====================

Please see our website at http://sysadmin.miniconf.org for more 
information on the miniconf, past presentations and presenting at it.

If you have any questions please feel free to email the organisers at:

Subject: [Linux-aus] Reminder: Open Source Developers' Conference 2015 in
	just two weeks!
Message-ID: <561C58FD.10209@wirejunkie.com>

Greetings,

This is a reminder that we're now only two week away from OSDC 2015 in
Hobart (October 27-29).  If you're not already registered, now's the time!

  https://2015.osdc.com.au/register/

To clarify, because somebody asked the other week, you don't need to "be
an open source developer" to come to OSDC 2015.  "Be" and "developer"
are such ambiguous terms these days ;)  Anyone with any interest in open
tech, data, education or government will likely enjoy the conference.

We've got some really interesting keynote and plenary sessions from Maia
Sauren, Mark Elwell, Richard Tubb, Michael Cordover and Pia Waugh; six
tutorial sessions covering InkScape, MySQL/MariaDB replication, web app
vulnerabilities, online map creation, FreeIPA and F-Droid; and of course
all the excellent wide ranging regular talks, on everything from
viruses, to security, to debugging, to education, to community, to...
well, probably best to just check out our exciting schedule at:

  https://2015.osdc.com.au/schedule/

Hope to see you there!

Regards,

Tim

Hello again,

I would like to apply for a grant for advertisement revenue.
I have developed the service explained in my previous email which may be
viewed below to a usable level but my aims have not changed.

I would humbly request funding for 1000 impressions per day for the next
180 days on coindesk.org, at $35 (US) CPM, which would be $8820 (AU) or
$1470 per month for the next six months.

Or if you would be willing to supply me with the full $2000 per calendar
month for the next twelve months which I originally applied for to cover
hosting and allow me to outsource the development of an Android and IOS
app then that would be even better and I could focus 100% of my energy
on multisig support. Otherwise I will have to learn java and the android
platform myself which is what I have been doing for two weeks now.

Just so the community doesn't think that I have been doing perfectly
well since May without funding, the reason for this is because I went
into debt rather than allow development to stop.

My hosting situation is extremely inadequate and not at all robust, for
instance there is only one point of failure in Singapore which would
render the project unusable. Ideally I would host the service using the
coreOS platform and at least three paas instances on different
continents (asia, usa, europe).

Here is a link to the updated info regarding the project and the
progress made over the last half year:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1059474.0

And the project itself: https://cryptoproof.info/

Also a link to the reddit community and the very interesting
conversation I had recently with a fellow engineer in the 3D printing
industry:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3o0t9j/ann_cryptoproof_counterfeit_detection_and_proof/

And a ling to the youtube video tutorial if you would like to see the
service in action:

Hi Derren,

I'm unable to find a previous email from you in either my inbox or the
linux-aus mailing list archives (
http://lists.linux.org.au/pipermail/linux-aus/2015-May/thread.html). Are
you sure it went through?

On the topic of the grant request, I'm unsure what value this would return
to our community and it is a very large request.

Thanks,
David

I may have missed the link Derren but is the source code for your 
project available ?  If not do you have plans to release the work under 
a Free Software/Open Source/Creative Commons license ?

I believe this is an important criteria for Linux Australia in 
evaluating grant applications no matter what the merit (or lack thereof) 
the project may otherwise have.

Cheers,
Hugh

1: Request is highly excessive
2: Not an Australian or permanent resident of Australia (UK 
address/number)
3: Person already using other crowd sourcing funding organisations
4: Unless I missed something, it has little to no benefit really for our 
community.

I agree.  But even if those 4 criteria were met, there's the issue that I 
don't think that Linux Australia should get into the "dunc tank" business that 
went so badly for Debian.

https://lwn.net/Articles/201488/
http://www.computerworld.com.au/article/172729/dunc-tank_success_failure_/

The above URLs are a couple of the first results from a quick Google search 
about dunc tank.  If you want more information then you can do more Googling.

Hi Darren,

Perhaps you can clarify some things for me because I'm really having
trouble trying to grok what you are trying to do here.

I suspect I may have spent far too much time on this already but any
way... I started by reading the PDF you had attached and I couldn't
understand what you are trying to achieve. So then moved on to the
forum link you posted and read that thread from beginning to end and I
still couldn't understand what the problem you were trying to solve
was. Or rather I think I understand what the problem you are trying to
solve is, but the way you are trying to solve it, and the crypto tools
you are using simply don't make sense to me.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but you are fundamentally trying to
solve two problems:

A) To prove something is unique.
B) To prove something has come from who it says it's from.

So part A is a bit like a serial number, in your example you use
pills. If you see two pills that have the same serial number you know
something has gone wrong, maybe one is a counterfeit. Part B is like a
PGP signature, you want to be able to prove that the pills came from a
reputable source so they are signed.

But I'm not sure how your solution solves either of those issues;

Looking just a part A, proving something is unique you say that you
will "log the number or hits each subkey receives". So effectively you
have a log of how many times it?s been queried but I don?t see how
this verifies that it?s unique. Let?s use the example of a bottle of
pills rather than an individual pill[1].

Let?s say the pill bottle is scanned by the courier who picks it up
from a manufacturing plant the way to the chemist. Then by the chemist
when they received the pills from the courier (because they want to
verify they are from the manufacturer and the courier hasn't done a
switch). Then by the customer when they get the bottle (because they
want to verify they are from the manufacturer and the chemist hasn't
done a switch). Maybe in the supply chain the bottle has been looked
up 3 times. But I don?t see how knowing that a subkey has been queried
1, 2, 3 or 27 times proves whether it?s unique or not. It could be one
bottle that's been checked 27 times, or 27 identical bottles that have
been checked once. Or 1000 identical bottles but only 27 customers
that care enough to check.

Also checking the count of how many times a subkey has been queried
relies on a single central authority (i.e. your website) that must be
trusted. There is no way others can verify the count you have is
correct.

And if part A doesn?t hold up, you can't prove something is unique, I
don?t think part B holds up either. I can?t see what would stop
someone from just opening up one bottle of pills, and replacing the
contents (with or without querying the subkey) and then passing it off
as genuine. Or simply copying the label (assuming it?s a QR code with
the public key) and producing several copies of the bottle passing
them off as genuine.

--
Kind Regards,
Michael

For those that are interested, Darren's response to my questions is below.

For what it's worth I do not think that Linux Australia should sponsor
this because I don't feel that the solution actually dose anything to
solve any of the problems that it attempts to address.

Hi Michael,

    Thanks for the email, I'll try to answer your questions as best as
 I can.

#the pill bottle is scanned by the courier who picks it up
from a manufacturing plant the way to the chemist. Then by the chemist
when they received the pills from the courier (because they want to
verify they are from the manufacturer and the courier hasn't done a
switch). Then by the customer when they get the bottle

I think in this case the the courier wouldn't need to verify the
originator of the product because they collected it from the source
and when delivered to the chemist the pill bottles would likely be in
a bulk box of some kind which would have its own barcode thus allowing
the bottles to make their journey to the shelf unscanned.


#I don?t see how knowing that a subkey has been queried
1, 2, 3 or 27 times proves whether it?s unique or not.
a) It could be one bottle that's been checked 27 times,
b) or 27 identical bottles that have been checked once.
c) Or 1000 identical bottles but only 27 customers that care enough to
check.

Each master key has 2146483647 subkeys (the words subkey and serial
number are absolutely interchangeable here) and so each 'bottle' would
have a unique qrcode.

a) Yes it could, hopefully though you were the person who performed
scan number one and every subsequent scan since. In fact it would be
prudent even if you did perform the first scan to periodically scan it
again to make sure the count isn't continuing increment whilst you are
not watching it as this would be an indication that your
barcode/subkey/serial number has been copied.

b) This is what cryptoproof is designed to detect, if you are not the
first person to scan an item you are under the impression is brand new
then this is a clear indication that your item is a copy or has been
copied since each serial number is assumed to be unique.

c) You have identified something important here which is that the
system works only if people bother to scan the items in question,
there is nothing to prevent two counterfeit items existing undetected
at the same time but this is a fundamental problem that cannot be
dispelled regardless of which ever system you use because you cannot
know if the cat is dead or alive inside the box until you look at it.
Or in other words you cannot tell a genuine form a fake until you have
examined one of each, which is a property of reality and not a flaw in
the system.


#Also checking the count of how many times a subkey has been queried
relies on a single central authority (i.e. your website) that must be
trusted. There is no way others can verify the count you have is
correct.

That is the million$ question isn't it, which leads to:

How do we decentralise the database without having to worry that other
custodians aren't going to change records within it?
A blockchain suggests itself here but launching another altcoin is not
the way to go in my opinion.

Can we log hits directly to the BTC blockchain?
Possibly, and it's a solution I would be willing to explore but
hopefully there is a more elegant way to do it than that because the
blockchain is already growing too quickly.

I don't have the ultimate solution to this yet, I require time and
funding to find it.


#And if part A doesn?t hold up, you can't prove something is unique, I
don?t think part B holds up either. I can?t see what would stop
someone from just opening up one bottle of pills, and replacing the
contents (with or without querying the subkey) and then passing it off
as genuine. Or simply copying the label (assuming it?s a QR code with
the public key) and producing several copies of the bottle passing
them off as genuine.

Part A holds up, you can prove (to a very high degree of probability)
if an item is unique or not.

Someone could take a genuine bottle of pills, replace the contents and
pass that off as genuine but this person would almost certainly be a
murderer and I don't believe there is a way to combat that, if there
is perhaps it can be discovered with further research :)
(actually the answer to this one is marking each individual pill,
though the prospect presents itself as a tedious endevour to both
of us it remains correct.)

Thank you for your questions, I'm always happy to talk about the
project, please feel free to contact me with any other queries you may
have :)

regards
derrend

I can think of projects in Australia, run by Australian citizens, that are open source that could do with $2000 AUD per month.

This grant application is not in alignment with Linux Australia's values 
[0], the grant guidelines [1], or good judgment.

The deliverables and milestones from the grant application are 
intangible; essentially this grant request seeks to fund development on 
a project that lacks a roadmap, open source repository, development 
paradigm, objectives, or guiding principles.

Moreover, the requested amount of over $AUD 8000 represents a 
significant proportion of the annual grants budget [2]. The return to 
the Australian Linux and open source community is neither articulated 
nor able to be inferred from the grant request. A strong justification 
is required for such a significant amount.

Therefore I strongly urge the Council to decline this grant request.

Message-ID: <562FD33D.2070207@lcabythebay.org.au>

Hi All,

The linux.conf.au 2016 team would like to officially welcome
applications for volunteers to help with the conference.

Our Earlybird registrations are going fantastically, with just over 80%
sold since we opened three weeks ago!
We're also just 96 short days from the start of the conference. If
linux.conf.au 2016 isn't in your calendar yet, it should be. Go do it
now, I'll wait.

But we can't run the conference on our own.
We need help from volunteers; help to register delegates, record talks,
introduce speakers, direct people to where they need to be, help with
setting up and packing down. Help from awesome, enthusiastic people like
you!

Our past volunteers will tell you that helping out with linux.conf.au is
extremely rewarding, and we are expect to see many familiar faces again.
You'll get a chance to do things you might not normally get the chance
to, a chance to meet some of the leaders and visionaries in our
industry, and a chance to form lifelong friendships.

In return for your help we'll provide lunch as well as a clean t-shirt
each day, and if you ask nicely we might even write you a letter of
reference at the end of the week. Depending on the number of volunteers
and work load, we'll also try our best to let everyone go and attend a
few talks.

If you'd like to be a linux.conf.au 2016 volunteer it's easy to
register. Just go to https://linux.conf.au/register/volunteer for more
information and instructions on how to apply or, if you've still got
more questions, send us an email to volunteers at lcabythebay.org.au

Are you speaking with them and encouraging them to apply?
