You are welcome to park in any UNMARKED (Student) parking spaces on
campus.  Parking in the spaces marked visitor may or may not yield a
ticket.

We will be meeting in C-1130 this month, and I am currently working out
the details for later months' meetings.  Hopefully we can be assigned a
regular room that fits us well.

Unlike the previous meeting space, you CAN bring food and drink to this
classroom!


Title: An introduction to TLS, OpenSSL, and X.509 Certificates

Synopsis: What do you do when an install-script-generated, self-signed
X.509 certificate expires? The X.509 certificate will be an organizing
heme to talk about an assortment of topics ranging from the history of
secure socket layer to privacy enhanced mail (PEM) file formats. By the
end of the talk, you should know how to replace an expired certificate.
You should also have a better understanding of how secure connections work.

Bio: Stephen is an Editor of the open access journal Molecular Vision
(molvis.org). He began his Linux journey in 2000 with Red Hat 6.1. The
journey continues today with CentOS 4.6 and 5.1.

The gratuitous plea for assistance :-)

Got an idea for a presentation?  Is there a topic you wish to see
discussed?  Please join us at the ALE Central meetings at Emory on the
third Thursday of each month, or ALE Northeast meetings on the first
Thursday of each month.  Or, better yet, get the discussion started on
the ALE mailing list (join at
