    Using openvpn

    Using openvpn we can use an untrusted network like the Internet to connect trusted parts of our own private network.

    This presentation will cover basic concepts of IP networking like addressing and routing. We will also cover several openvpn use cases, including connecting two networks and connecting a single client to a remote network.

    Non-traditional methods of connecting to the vpn, through dns tunneling or through the tor network will be discussed.

    Main Presentation

    Introduction to Drupal

    Drupal is a widely used open source content management system for the world wide web.  Many high profile organizations such as the Onion, Second Life, and NASA use drupal to build their web applications.

    Drupal's open source core and modular architecture has spawned an extremely active developer community, creating a profusion of modules which extend the functionality of Drupal.

    This profusion of activity means that Drupal is sometimes a hard project to understand because of the classic problem of "not seeing the forest through the trees"

    In my presentation I will give a brief overview of the components of drupal and some popular modules.  I will show how drupal is installed and configured and allow members to experiment their own fresh install of drupal. I will also show the group several books I have obtained on drupal and remark on which ones I like.
