Phil Waclawski: Krita Basics - Tools, Layers, Coloring etc
Description:
Krita is a powerful painting program, designed for graphic designers and general artists. I will introduce the basic features it provides, along with some special filters, including G'mic. I will however not be able to demonstrate any artistic skills :)
Biography:
Phil has been a faculty member, focusing on open source software at MCC for nearly two decades.
Phil teaches a variety of course, including MySQL Database, PHP, Python, Javascript, HTML 5 and CSS, Linux OS, Internet Server Set up and more.
This summer, Phil will once again be offering a "MCC Multimedia Madness" summer camp for 6-8th graders. Over the two weeks I will cover a wide range of open source software, including GIMP, Inkscape, Krita, Audacity, Blender, Hydrogen Drum Kit, Tux Guitar, Openshot, Linux Multimedia Studio, work with green screen and more.
For hobbies, Phil has too many. Blacksmithing, archery, Leatherworking, Wood Working, Jewelry, Sound Recording/editing and SCUBA diving. Phil is also learning to play the Bass.
Phil has been using linux at home for desktops and servers since 1994.
der.hans: AsciiDoc - Plainish text for fancy output
Description:
AsciiDoc is a great text tool for documentation from simple notes to books. A text editor is all it takes. Since it's all text, AsciiDoc lends itself to revision control and revision control WebUI systems like GitLab and GitHub support it.

Programming Defensively
Join the Phoenix Linux Users Group at their Security Session to learn about defensive programming. Understand how software is written effectively, what to look for when checking security, and how to verify that you are following good practices. This will not be an introduction to computer programming but will be a discussion of how to write software properly with a focus on security and safety.
* Any discussion of paid services or software will be done for educational purposes only. Neither the instructor, PLUG, or any one involved in this course endorses any paid services or products discussed at this meeting.
Your Instructor: Aaron is an experienced Linux user with several years of teaching experience. He works in the industry as a software developer while also providing consultancy on cyber security related topics. His discussions are AZ Post certified for training credit for law enforcement and he prides himself on providing quality educational material that is relevant and topical. He has a Masters Degree in Intelligence Analysis with a focus in Cyber Security, is a life long learner, and prides himself on staying up to date with the ever changing field of cyber security.
Illegal Commerce and The Net
Join the Phoenix Linux Users Group at their Security Session to learn about crypto currencies, online trade, and where data is sold. What does a criminal do after they get your information? This two hour meeting will focus on providing a simplified and easy to follow explanation of the black markets that operate around the world on the internet. Find out about the supposed layers of the internet, how to use tor, and why bitcoin is as important for legitimate trade as it is for criminals.

Operational Security and Data Gathering
Join the Phoenix Linux Users Group at their Security Session to learn about Operational Security and Information Gathering. We will be discussing the importance of data assurance, the difference between assurance and privacy, and what tools we can use today to encrypt or verify data as appropriate. This two hour meeting will focus on providing a simplified and easy to follow explanation of how data should be safe guarded and what steps we can take to keep it trust worthy.

Ed Nicholson: DNSSEC DANE & NTPsec - Trust but Verify
DNSSEC DANE and NTPsec - The basic infrastructure of the Internet hasn't seen such significant improvement since Jon Postel's contributions to the original DNS RFCs. DNSSEC is operational authentication of information served by authoritative DNS servers. This is the dawn of the believable Internet. An important consequence has been the emergence of DANE or DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities. And that adds confidentiality to believability. Even as Internet naming gains this new robustness, similar efforts are improving our access to time services with the NTPsec project. While not all Internet infrastructure has left the era of blind trust, the names and times we depend on are now things we can verify. This presentation is about consuming and deploying DNSSEC DANE and NTPsec services.
About Ed:
Ed has been involved with Free Software for some time. His interests are in how people, organizations and populations use, create and experience information. He enjoys The Prescott National Forest as his "office" and The Valley of The Sun as a home away from home. Personal systems run either Fedora, Project Atomic, Android or OpenBSD.
