If you don’t have a car then you might like to know that the No:94 and 95 buses run from High Street and Church Street (across from the Cathedral) through the city centre to the pub. This is a frequent service which runs every ten or fifteen minutes. Call 01709 515151 for bus information. Use Google maps if you don’t know where the Walkley Cottage is. Tea and coffee is available. There is a good selection of beers which are well looked after. Look out for someone sitting next to a Hewlett-Packard penguin with a laptop in front of him.
The topic of the meeting will be a general discussion or we can fix some hardware or software. If you need some help with that kind of thing we can probably point you in the right direction. If you want to know more about anything please come along and ask questions. The most recent releases of Ubuntu, openSuSE and Fedora will probably be discussed.
In September we will run an update of the well known Evil on the Internet given by Richard Clayton. More about Richard Clayton here….
The date for the meeting is the 9th of September 2010 at 19:00 hours for 19:30 hours. This will take place at the University of Sheffield, Kroto Innovation Centre, Broad Lane, Sheffield S3 7HQ. Richard Clayton who is a computing expert based at the University of Cambridge will provide live examples of ‘evil’ websites explaining how they work and what is currently known about the criminals who operate them. The talk will cover Phishing sites which collect banking credentials; mule recruitment websites enticing people into money laundering; fake escrow sites defrauding the winners of online auctions; fake banks which hold cash for fake African dictators; Ponzi scheme websites where almost (but not quite) everyone knows that they’re a scam. This event is arranged in conjunction with….
