Pre-Announcement of Thursday's meeting given that I haven't updated the 
site yet: http://calagator.org/events/1250472936

Topic:

The OAuth 2.0 authorization framework has become the industry standard 
in providing secure access to web APIs. OAuth allows users to grant 
external applications access to their data, such as profile data, 
photos, and email, without compromising security. However, OAuth can be 
intimidating when first starting out. In this talk, Aaron Parecki will 
break down the various OAuth workflows and provide a simplified overview 
of the framework, highlighting a few typical use cases.
