	J. Paul Reed on Releasing Software at Scale: Keeping Firefox Running on Millions of Desktops - The New York Linux Users Group In commercial software development, the role of a build/release engineer can differ widely among organizations. In open source software, the role is often minimal, if it exists at all. But for consumer-oriented open source projects, like Mozilla's Firefox and Thunderbird, turning a thirty megabyte source tarball into something that mom, dad, and your boyfriend can use takes someone polishing those bits and running them across the finish line...

	NYLUG: Zach Smith on Open Source Manufacturing and RepRap - The New York Linux Users Group Zach Smith on Open Source Manufacturing and RepRap This July's meeting was refreshingly unique. A project with goals extraordinary. Simply, the bootstrapping of objects by other objects. A thing making another thing, or its own thing. =) RepRap is an open source project to create a self replicating 3D printing machine. With this machine the goal is to one day be able to automatically create a variety of real objects, including a copy of the machine itself...

	Mark Tolliver, Palamida on Application Security for Open Source Software - The New York Linux Users Group Open Source has been a blessing to the development community. However undocumented open source now permeates production code. While IP issues are the most obvious concerns, security has become THE big concern. You can't patch what you do not know you have. Firms are finding out that they have 5x the amount of open source they thought and hundreds of undocumented modules. Palamida technology identifies these, matches them to the vulnerability data base and supplies a tool suite for maintenance an...

	Subhendu Ghosh of Red Hat on Kexec/Kdump: Managing Linux crash dumps - The New York Linux Users Group For a long time, Linux did not have a standard mechanism for capturing crash dumps. Different distributions included different techniques. In the 2.6 kernels we finally have a common method for managing crash dumps using kexec and kdump. This talk will describe the technologies involved and how to configure and manage a production environment to capture vmcores. Kdump is a new kernel crash dumping mechanism and is very reliable because the crash dump is captured from the context of a freshly boo...
