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
