Title: Simple but Effective Server Hardening
Description:
Server security is more important now than ever, yet many of the hardening
guides out there read like they were written a decade ago (probably because
they were!) Modern server hardening can be an obscure and complicated
subject but it doesn't have to be. There are a number of simple and
fast-to-implement steps you can take to dramatically increase the security
of your infrastructure. In this talk Kyle will start with an overview of
security best practices and provide a series of current yet simple
hardening examples effective for securing everything from traditional
bare-metal networks, cloud infrastructure, and even your home network.

Title: Open Source Licensing Case Study: Midonet
Description:
Midokura released Midonet under the Apache license in 2014. This talk will explain why Midokura released the software under an open source license and why it picked Apache. In order to understand the options, the business models used with GPL and Apache will be discussed, which will include comparing the rights granted under the two licenses. Midonet will also be explained, at a very high level, to provide context for the decision to make it open source. Please note that this talk should not be construed as legal advice.
The NBLUG elections will be held directly following the talk. A nominations E-Mail will be sent to the talk list with additional information.
