In this talk Kyle will cover the basics of how DNS (Domain Name System) works. The talk will include a short history of the service, how it works today, and a step-by-step walk-through of what happens between entering a domain into a web browser and getting back an IP address. Also covered is how you could use this new-found knowledge to take down the Internet. Specific implementations of DNS (BIND, djbdns, PowerDNS) will not be covered.

General Meeting -- Tom Haddon from Canonical
Start: 7:30 pm
End: 9:00 pm

Tom works for Canonical, the makers of Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu, etc. as a
Systems Administrator for Launchpad (https://launchpad.net) and
Landscape (https://landscape.canonical.com).

From Tom :

"The main topic of the talk will be about a volunteer project undertaken
by the SF-LUG to resurrect a housing authority's computer lab using
Edubuntu. How the project started, where we are now, and where we go
from here. Possibly with a demonstration of LTSP (the Linux Terminal
Server Project) on my laptop. I'll also be happy to answer any questions
I can about Ubuntu, Canonical, Launchpad, Landscape, etc."
