VPNs have become a pervasive feature of modern workplaces\, and even more indispensable in this era of COVID-19 and widespread remo te work. \;\n \;\nThe most widely-deployed VPN client and server s oftware in workplace environments — including Cisco AnyConnect\, Juniper /Pulse Networks\, PAN GlobalProtect\, and others — is all proprietary an d closed-source. These VPNs differ in idiosyncratic ways\, ranging from authentication to security requirements imposed on the client computers. Combined with bugs\, missing features\, and often mystifyingly vague er ror reporting\, they can be very difficult to use\, especially for those who need to access multiple VPNs. Under the hood\, however\, they all w ork in extremely similar ways. \;\n \;\nThe speaker is one of the main developers of OpenConnect\, an open-source VPN client which can con nect to all of the aforementioned VPNs using a common interface (with se veral others in development). In this talk\, he will explain in detail h ow modern client-server VPNs work\, in terms of authentication\, encrypt ed tunneling\, Internet protocol routing\, and client roaming. He will i llustrate how the operation of a VPN can be reverse-engineered and reimp lemented in OpenConnect\, using an implementation of PAN GlobalProtect a s an example. He’ll show some of the advantages of being able to connect to different VPNs in a consistent and automated way\, which can be part icularly indispensable for those who work as consultants or vendors to m ultiple companies using different VPNs. Finally\, he’ll discuss some rec ent and ongoing developments in VPNs and other kinds of remote connectiv ity software \;\n \;\nSpeaker \;\n \;\nDaniel Lenski receive d his PhD in semiconductor physics and has worked at Seagate\, Intel\, a nd Amazon Elemental\, and he has been using Linux and open-source softwa re since the ’90s. He started modifying and contributing to OpenConnect out of the necessity of interfacing with many different companies’ VPNs while at a semiconductor consulting startup (FPS\, now part of Inficon) and has continued developing it as a side project. \;\n \;\nWhere& #13\;\n \;\nVirtual event\, RSVP for Zoom registration details \;\ n \;\nWhen \;\n \;\nDate – Thursday\, Sept. 17th \;\n \;\ nTime – 8:30 – 10:30am\n\nTags: DAMAPDX\, vpn\, openconnect\, networking \, security\, oss\, opensource\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/ev ents/1250477268 URL:https://damapdx.org/2020/08/28/september-2020-openconnect/ SUMMARY:@DAMAPDX Chapter Meeting September 2020: How VPNs Work- The Ins a nd Outs with Daniel Lenski\, PhD\, OpenConnect LOCATION:Zoom Conference: false SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20201002T173952Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20201022T160000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20201022T083000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20201002T173952Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20201002T180606Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250477355 DESCRIPTION:Presented by NASA Scientists \;\nSponsored by Snowflake 3\;\n \;\nCalling all data enthusiasts and/or space nerds in Portland \, Oregon and beyond.

NASA is developing machine learning algorithms to help the scientists more quick ly analyze the data when it arrives from Mars. In this talk\, we will pr esent the current work using MOMA mass spectrometer data acquired during ground testing. Using this data we are aiding the scientists by matchin g new spectra with the most similar spectra from past experiments. We wi ll present the nuances of mass spectra\, our limitations with respect to data\, and our approach to the problem. We hope to elicit feedback from the attendees. \;\n \;\nMore details at https://phys.org/news/202 0-06-nasa-life-mars.html. \;\n \;\n30 minute Break \;\n \;\n Lunch Session: 12:00 – 1:00 PM: Snowflake Presentation\, Drew Swanson an d Brian Whittington \;\n \;\n30 minute Break \;\n \;\nAftern oon Session: 1:30 PM – 3:30PM: Details soon! \;\n \;\n15 minute Br eak \;\n \;\nClosing Remarks and Next Steps: 3:45 – 4:00 PM: DAMA PDX Board \;\n \;\nTimes above may be revised in the days before o ur event. \;\n \;\nEvent will be presented via a Zoom bridge.

Cheriton Faculty Fellow at University of Waterloo. His research focuses on developing systems for managing\, querying\, or doing analyt ics on graph-structured data. His main on-going systems project is Kùzu\ , which is a new graph database management system that integrates novel storage\, indexing and query processing techniques. He holds a PhD from Stanford University and is a recipient of the VLDB 2018 Best Paper and t he VLDB 2022 Best Experiments and Analysis Paper awards. \;\n \;\n Abstract: \;\nIn this talk\, I will present the Kùzu graph database m anagement system (GDBMS) that we are developing at University of Waterlo o. Datasets and workloads of popular applications that use GDBMSs requir e a set of storage and query processing features that relational DBMSs ( RDBMSs) do not traditionally optimize for. These include optimizations f or: (i) many-to-many (m-n) joins\; (ii) cyclic joins\; (iii) recursive j oins\; (iv) semi-structured data storage\; and (v) support for universal resource identifiers. Kùzu aims to integrate state-of-art storage\, ind exing\, and \;\nquery processing techniques to highly optimize for th is feature set. I will start by presenting the overall vision of Kùzu an d then talk about the novel join operators in the system that performs j oins using compressed factorized representations of intermediate tables. Kùzu is actively being developed to be a fully functional open-source D BMS with the goal of wide user adoption and under a permissible license. \n\nTags: graphdatabase\, graphdb\, graphflow\, DAMAPDX\, DAMA\, databas e\, datamanagement\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250478 625 URL:https://datapdx.org/2022/11/11/december-2022-graphflowdb-a-dbms-for-l arge-scale-graph-data-management/ SUMMARY:Data PDX: Kùzu Graph Database Management System LOCATION:Online via Google Meet: false SEQUENCE:3 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230109T213131Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230119T170000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230119T160000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230109T213131Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230109T213131Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250480147 DESCRIPTION:Bill Inmon known as the father of the data warehouse and has written 68 books\, selling over a million copies in total and translated into 9 languages. \;\n \;\nBill was named by Computerworld as one of the ten most influential people in history of computing.

They are jumping directly to implement MDM ini tiatives\, to move to the cloud\, or to implement advanced analytics\, a nd now\, to adopt AI\, without a real understanding of the problems that need to be solved and the priority to tackle them. There's though an in creasing awareness of having to manage data in a better way\, but there' s no clear understanding of the path to follow. Data Strategy is the key element to prioritize and guide resource allocation in the best way.
