Just a suggestion, Steven... more and more users these days are using a commercial hosting service for simplicity - perhaps you could "weave in" relevant issues/considerations to your talk? I'm thinking about the importance of static IP address(es) and security issues (taint checking of variables, etc., etc.) relevant to both scenarios.I'm thinking of possibly doing a talk on creating a basic web server for the 3rd December workshop... Basically how to set up Apache, with a basic PHP and MySQL stack - and throw in use of certbot (for Let's Encrypt certificates)... does this float anyone's boat?
Duly noted... given that multiple ID documentation is required for the notary process - I appreciate that not everyone will be interested in actually obtaining one or more certificates - it might be an idea to flag up the required ID documentation quite a while prior to 11 February so that there's enough time to get these to bring along on the evening. Alex Robertson can confirm the detail, but IIRC 1 x government-issued photo document (e.g. photo driving licence, passport) and 1 x address document bearing individual's name (e.g. utility bill but NOT mobile phone bill) is the minimum.The 3rd December *was* going to be (but was never confirmed) the talk on CAcert, but the guy who was going to do the talk was preferring it be further away from Christmas. So this is now definitively going to be on the 11th February instead.
Good idea, especially for the CA Cert one, for the same reasons in the original e-mail suggesting this...We're also going to be inviting other local LUG's I've been talking to, to participate and come over for the CAcert one, and possibly other cross-talks too.
Again, good idea.As for the 17th December workshop... the thought has been to have a little "end of quarter" round off meeting, maybe play with that Tux robot a bit (a bit of fun basically) and also some lightning talks (5 to 10 minute) if people are interested in doing that? (an idea that the bunch of us which went Oggcamp this year got).
