Bob B will give us an introduction to OpenVAS, the Open Vulnerability Access Scanner, including how he used Proxmox to set up his demo lab.
Victor Kofia will discuss NixOS and the Nix package manager. Nix takes a declarative approach to systems configurations, and all upgrades/rollbacks are atomic. It bills itself as "the purely functional Linux distribution."
Tim Laurence discusses tools to identify operating system bottlenecks. Brent Clements demonstrates a variety of hardware emulators. See kwlug.org/node/1143 for additional information, slides and other auxiliary materials. Note that this audio has had silences clipped.
Lanny Cox discusses tiling window managers in general and i3 in particular; Jason Eckert discusses the Windows Subsystem for Linux. See kwlug.org/node/1142 for additional information, slides and other auxiliary materials. Note that this audio has had silences clipped.
Note: The location for this meeting has changed. It will now be held at TriOS College.
Chris Irwin will give us a practical overview of UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface), the successor to computer BIOSes, and GUID partition tables, the successor to MBR tables.
Jason Eckert will tell us about Pop!_OS, a Linux distribution by hardware manufacturer System76. This presentation will be beginner-friendly.
Mikalai Birokou talks about containerization and LXD. Jason Eckert illustrates fun things you can do with SSH. See kwlug.org/node/1138 for additional information, slides and other auxiliary materials. Unfortunately we had technical difficulties recording audio for this podcast, so the first part of the LXD presentation was cut off.

Tim Laurence will lead a discussion on tools you can use to identify bottlenecks in systems.
Brent Clements will talk about game emulators in Linux.
Note: Benjamin Tompkins's presentation on virtual machines has been postponed.
Important: We have had a last-minute switch in meeting location. For this month's meeting we will meet at our old location, St John's Kitchen.
Jason Eckert will discuss the care and feeding of the Windows Subsystem for Linux, which allows you to run Linux "natively" on a Windows 10 machine.
Mark Steffen discusses website vulnerability scanning, including the OWASP ZAP analysis tool. See kwlug.org/node/1127 for additional information, slides and other auxiliary materials.
Khalid Baheyeldin discusses microcontrollers in the Arduino ecosystem, Micropython and cloud-free home automation with Home Assistant. See kwlug.org/node/1121 for additional information, slides and other auxiliary materials.
Mikalai Birukou will give us an introduction to LXD, the Linux container management system. LXD provides a cheap way to experiment with different installations. He says this is a beginner-friendly talk for those who dabble on the command line or are beginner sysadmins.
Jason Eckert will discuss interesting SSH tips and tricks.
