[SGVLUG] SCALE Adds Training Classes

[Gareth J.Greenaway]

SCALE is proud to announce they've partnered with LOPSA, the League of 
 Professional System Administrators (http://lopsa.org/), to create "SCALE 
 University". SCALE University will conduct two half-day classes on 
 Friday, February 8th at the So Cal Linux Expo.
 
 The morning class will be "Open-Source Email Systems: One Approach to 
 Spam Fighting", taught by Austin Godber, a platform engineer for 
 JumpBox. It will cover in-depth setup details for RBLs, greylisting, 
 adaptive firewalls, HELO restrictions, ClamAV, SpamAssassin, and 
 end-user tools like whitelists and blacklists; plugins and tweaks to 
 make these tools more effective; potential pitfalls to this (and other) 
 approaches to filtering; and a host of other smaller items, like 
 soliciting feedback from your clients, gathering statistics, and 
 collating log information.
 
 The afternoon tutorial is "Introduction to Virtualization on Linux with 
 Xen"and will be conducted by Chris St. Pierre, a Unix system 
 administrator at Nebraska Wesleyan University. This short course will 
 provide an introduction to virtualization and as discussion of the 
 following topics:
 
 * Overview of the state of virtualization on Linux
 * DIY virtualization options for Linux, concentrating on the Open Source 
 Xen Hypervisor
 * Innovations based on virtualization
