[PLUG] Linux / Android Security?

[Mike C.]

Perhaps I've missed Security oriented threads and/or PLUG Talks, but I'm 
very interested in connecting with other security wonks. It's one of the 
many reasons I chose Linux a decade ago.

I went to a couple of talks in town on cyber security & privacy. They 
were both sparsely attended. I learned a few new tips & tricks, but 
mostly went home with a bunch of questions to research.

I listen to the Security Now! podcast. I've worked w. Firewalls, VPNs, 
Tripwire, and other "bolt-on" technology. But there's so much I don't 
know and I feel like a cyber security victim in the waiting from 
governments, criminals, corporations, etc

There's a monthly RainSec meetup. It's intended for "Security 
Professionals". Which I'm technically not. Has anyone attended a RainSec 
meetup?

There's also the Beer of Trust PGP Key-Signing events, 
http://calagator.org/events/1250471462, which I unfortunately keep missing.

I'm also not just interested in the tools and best practices, but also 
how they intersect with our constitutional rights and freedoms.

So, what's the ask, you're thinking. I guess I'm wondering if there are 
any Linux / Android Security Pros and/or wonks on PLUG and what the 
group interest level is on PLUG talks on cyber security & privacy.

Thank you,

Mike
