Meeting Announcement: Linux-Ottawa February 2025 Meeting.
Date/Time: Thursday February 6th at 7pm
Format:
- Online over Jitsi: https://meet.jit.si/oclug_2025-02-06_meeting
- Check the mailing list for in-person clusters being hosted by other
members.
Topics:
- The hot topic of the day seems to be online survivalism, aka migrating
dependence on US based infrastructure. No-one explicitly offered to
talk, but there is much interest in the topic. So tonight will be an
ad-hoc community driven discussion on ad-hoc friend-shoring of IT services.
So please bring your short (or long) overview of your solutions to share
with the group. Topics that lit up our normally tranquil mailing list
include:
- Self hosting
- Canadian hosting
- Canadian global connectivity (and yes, I had forgotten how much Canada
there was west of Tweed)
- Closed source software from suppliers based in countries threatening
Canada, used in Canadian government, financial and business sectors.
- how to protect our online lives in a nihilistic milieux.
Feel free to add to the list
