Portland Linux/Unix Group Advanced Topics Meeting Announcement

Who: Stephen Hemminger
What: Vyatta
Where: Free Geek, 1731 SE 10th Avenue, Portland (Left Entrance)
When: Tuesday, August 21st, 2012 at 7pm
Why: The pursuit of awesome, open technologies.

Linux has been used for network routing for many years, but the
interface is different than the standard network appliances.  Vyatta
is a Debian based distribution that provides an open command line
interface that looks like Cisco or Juniper. The command line is built
on top of standard bash shell with extensible template language.

This talk will go into the history of Vyatta, where it came from
and how it is used today. For those who want to contribute or modify,
it will also cover the internals of how this implemented.


Stephen Hemminger is a software engineer working remotely in Portland
for Vyatta. He has been involved with Linux networking for 8 years
and currently maintains bridging and routing utilities. Steve
regularly presents at Linux conferences.


Many will break for the Lucky Lab on Hawthorne afterwards.
