Hoiho
by Perry Lorier 24 Jan '05

24 Jan '05

We have reason to believe that the hoiho server (www.wlug.org.nz) may have been compromised. The machine has been shutdown pending an audit and probably a reinstall (to be on the safe side). The kiddie suspected of targetting this machine is well known for using password sniffers and other attacks to leverage accounts on other machines. If you have an account on hoiho (including a mail account) then I suggest that you change your password on any related machine immediately. Hopefully the kiddie hasn't successfully compromised the machine, but we're not taking any chances. The wiki will be offline until further notice. Sorry for any inconvenience, Perry Lorier

WLUG meeting tomorrow (Monday)
by Craig Box 24 Jan '05

24 Jan '05

In the absence of a server: There will be a WLUG meeting tomorrow (Monday 24 Jan, 2005), at 7:30pm in LitB, at the University of Waikato. Park at Gate 1 and walk up past the satellite dishes. The topic is "Open Source Music Notation applications". John McPherson will give a presentation about Linux/OpenSource applications for music performers and composers. This will probably cover "mature" applications for things like sequencing, composition, and notation programs, as well as other things that are more "research-y" and not in widespread use, such as page-turning for performers, and optical music recognition.

19 Jan '05

It looks like there is a meeting on 24/1 according to the Wiki but I've seen no reminder... Can anybody confirm one way or the other? I'd like to go so I can hand over my membership forms and pay my cash since I'm already quite good at sending all sorts to the mailing list ;-)

library books/cdroms
by John R. McPherson 17 Jan '05

17 Jan '05

Hi everyone, just a general reminder that WLUG has a bunch of books and cdroms to lend out to paid-up WLUG members. We've recently received a few review copies of new books, so feel free to borrow any and post a review of it onto the wlug website. http://library.wlug.org.nz/show.pl?recent=10 There's a meeting next Monday so we can arrange to bring any requested books along (and if you have an issued item this would be a good opportunity to return it). Lastly, we can ask for more review copies of things if people request them. If you would like us to acquire something, go to the http://www.wlug.org.nz/WantedBooks wiki page and feel free to edit it, adding the publisher, book name, and your name in the appropriate place. John McPherson
