Linux User Group Luxembourg
LiLux a.s.b.l.

Subject: Two subjects are proposed

1. "Conférence sur les aspects juridiques des données" by <unknown>
2. "Sécurté des données" by Patrick Vandewall, ISOC
   

Location: Chosen location will be the Ariston (Caramba) in Esch/Alzette. Normally, rent of the room would cost us 600€, however if we ask nicely (and charge no admittance), we may get it for free.

Time and date : Last Thursday of November (29th) (if room free...),19h00 or 18h30

Organization: the event will start with a small introduction where we will present our Lug. Then each speaker will speak for half an hour, followed each by some 20 minutes of questions/answers, for a total of 2 hours.

We could also have a "round table" discussion.

The track "aspects juridiques" might addres the following subjects:

• Anglosaxon vs French model in how e-mail privacy in companies is treated
• Validity of electronic signatures
• International e-commerce: which laws apply (server's country or buyer's country?), which TVA rate needs to be payed, ...
• network neutrality
• at what risk are personal data stored on your own PC in case of seizure by police / under what conditions may your PC be seized
• which data are legal to posess, and which aren't
• status about French encryption laws, and legality of crypted communications crossing France, but not ending in France

Practical checklist:

• To reserve the venue, contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it (26560277-23)
• The time has to be so early because the cinema might want to show a movie during the late evening. If our event drags on, we will however have the opportunity to move to the entry hall where small snacks will be served
• Admission has to be free, or else Caramba (and also the Speaker, for that matter, and various advertisers...) might want to get a cut
• We will need to make a poster. Brent volunteered
• Ask Pascal Steichen to search for potential speakers in his Ministry

Linuxdays

• We're looking for presentations about desktop Linux (for end users)
• proposal: comparison of various desktops (KDE, Gnome, ...)
• pam_mount : Automatically mount shares on login. Could be shown in "interoperability" track on Linuxdays

Miscellaneous

• hack.lu will take place on October 18th. Belgian FCCU will present forensic analysis of a botnet. It might be interesting if our Lug could have a presence (stand with info-material) during the event
• Presentation during one of our next meetings; Ekiga
• Amarok better music player than juk
