create Calagator::Event 1250473189 Galois Tech Talk: New Applications of Software Synthesis: Firewall Repair and Verification of Configuration Files (Ruzica Piskac) Roll back

description nil Title: New Applications of Software Synthesis: Firewall Repair and Verification of Configuration Files Abstract: In this talk we present a systematic effort that can automatically repair firewalls, using the programming by example approach. Firewalls are widely employed to manage and control enterprise networks. Because enterprise-scale firewalls contain hundreds or thousands of policies, ensuring the correctness of firewalls – whether the policies in the firewalls meet the specifications of their administrators – is an important but challenging problem. In our approach, after an administrator observes undesired behavior in a firewall, she may provide input/output examples that comply with the intended behavior. Based on the given examples, we automatically synthesize new firewall rules for the existing firewall. This new firewall correctly handles packets specified by the examples, while maintaining the rest of the behavior of the original firewall. We also show, using verification for configuration files, how to learn specification when the given examples is actually a set of configuration files. Software failures resulting from configuration errors have become commonplace as modern software systems grow increasingly large and more complex. The lack of language constructs in configuration files, such as types and grammars, has directed the focus of a configuration file verification towards building post-failure error diagnosis tools. In this talk we describe a framework which analyzes data sets of correct configuration files and derives rules for building a language model from the given data set. The resulting language model can be used to verify new configuration files and detect errors in them. Bio: Ruzica Piskac is an assistant professor (tenure-track) at Yale, Computer Science Department. Her research interests span the areas of programming languages, software verification, automated reasoning, and code synthesis. A common thread in Ruzica's research is improving software reliability and trustworthiness using formal techniques. Ruzica has received a NSF CAREER award for her proposal, “Synthesis in a Live Programming Environment”. She proposed the concept of cooperative programming which combines a live programming environment and the programming by example paradigm.

create Calagator::Event 1250473188 Portland Linux/Unix Group: Municipal Broadband in Portland Roll back

description nil Portland Linux/Unix Group General Meeting Announcement Who: Russell Senior<br> What: How to get a Municipal Broadband network in the City of Portland<br> Where: PSU, 1930 SW 4th Ave. Room FAB 86-01 (Lower Level)<br> When: Thursday, February 1st, 2018 at 7pm<br> Why: The pursuit of technology freedom<br> Stream: http://pdxlinux.org/live How to get a Municipal Broadband network in the City of Portland As many of you know, Russell has been kind of passionate about building an open-access Internet infrastructure in Portland for the last decade or more. No privately owned network would voluntarily allow open-access, and hasn't since the DSL days (when they were required to), and the Feds, namely the FCC has been steadfast in its refusal to enforce line-sharing (essentially the same thing as open access) on infrastructure built since 1996. Many of you may have heard about the FCC action in December rescinding the relatively new Title II regulation of ISPs and the Network Neutrality rules that went with it. With the consciousness raising this event has provided, there is a new window of opportunity from the groundswell of interest to create pressure on our political systems, namely City Council in Portland OR, failing that, an initiative petition to provide a local solution. Russell will describe the problem and what a solution would look like, where the user ends up in the driver seat. Bring your Net Neutrality questions! Many will head to the Lucky Lab at 1945 NW Quimby St. after the meeting. Rideshares to the Lucky Lab available PLUG is open to everyone and does not tolerate abusive behavior on its mailing lists or at its meetings.

It's possible today, and easier than you think; we just need a little container orchestration pixiedust, and your DBAs can take the weekend off.

He'll bring you up to date on the new "Kube-native" Patroni, and work expected in the future. With live demos! --------- Josh Berkus helps manage the Kubernetes community for Red Hat.

description nil <p>Welcome to the PDXNode Hack Night!</p> <p>What is a PDXNode Hack Night?</p> <p>PDXNode Hack Nights are your opportunity to enjoy a low-pressure JavaScript-centric environment where you shouldn't feel like you're supposed to do anything. First and foremost–just come and enjoy yourself. The night is yours: hang, hack, learn, or do whatever you’re interested in doing. 🙌</p> <p>Depending on the size and interests of our attending group, we have various paths the night could go, and may or may not attempt some of the following:</p> <p>Map Ctrl-H into Hackerspace Regions</p> <p>The hackerspace will be mapped into 'regions', and you can feel free to gravitate towards whichever one suits your interest!</p> <p>• A place for beginners who want to get going with node for the first time.<br>• A place for people who want to work on their own projects (eg. projects you want to do outside of work, but need to find the time).<br>• A place for people to just hang out and connect.<br>• A place for people to work on projects in groups!</p> <p>'Unconference'-style Team Hacks</p> <p>For team-hackers, we'll have a board up and sticky-notes available available at the beginning of the night. Anyone can feel free to write the name and/or description of something they'd like to hack on with other people–and others who're interested can feel free to go to that region and join in!</p> <p>End of Night Show and Tell</p> <p>There will be a list available to write your name, or team's name down on to give a quick show and tell of your projects at the end of the night. We're pumped to see what you've been working on!</p> <p>Some general stuff to remember:</p> <p>Help is available!</p> <p>There will be seasoned Nodesters ready and available to help anyone with questions or advice in any of the hack-zones: beginners, solo, and group projects. Feel free to reach out and ask at any time throughout the evening.</p> <p>Do what you want to do</p> <p>Above all, we hope for this to be an easy-going event for people to do what they want to do with the time we have. Make the time awesome, it's yours. 😎</p> <p>Code of Conduct</p> <p>PDXNode continues to abide by its Code of Conduct, and we ask everyone to commit to keeping to it in order for all of us to have a safe, fun, and amazing time.</p> <p>Wahoo! See you then! 🎉🎉 💻 🎉🎉</p>

update Calagator::Event 1250473156 Love Letters to Net Neutral Municipal Broadband Roll back

description Roses are red, violets are blue, we need net neutrality and public ownership too! Hope you like typewriters, this month's event will feature a lot of them. Comcast and other large internet service providers have successfully lobbied to repeal net neutrality, sell information about what you do online, and prevent localities from properly regulating them. Municipal broadband is the last line of defense against internet service provider abuses which threaten freedom of information, digital equality, and democracy itself. Municipal broadband is something many cities such as Tacoma, WA and Sandy, OR already have. In Portland we have been planning to build a municipal broadband network decades, now that our internet freedoms are under attack, it’s an idea whose time has come. 2:00 pm: Event starts 2:15 pm: Speakers 2:50 pm: Letter typing 3:20 pm: The big secret is revealed! ✨ <img src="https://i.imgur.com/GtBFrB1.png" height="300" width="500"> Roses are red, violets are blue, we need net neutrality and public ownership too!

description nil The Linux Clinic meets once a month on the third Sunday from 1 - 5 pm at Free Geek, 1731 SE 10th Avenue, Portland, 97214. Bring your Linux computer that is being a brat and we'll teach it some manners. Or bring your computer that has some evil operating system on it and we'll send it home with a shiny, clean Linux distro. Or just come and look over shoulders to see what Linux is all about. If you already know Linux well, the Clinic is also a good place to learn how to help users troubleshoot problems. It's excellent training for tech support work in Linux. We have monitors, mice, keyboards, and miscellanous other perifpherals, so generally all you need to bring is the box. There will also be coffee and people usually bring munchies as well. After all, you can't do computers on an empty tummy.
