Hi Augie:

We're holding our LISA (Large Installation System Administration)
conference in San Diego this year: December 4-9.  Can you mention the
conference at the meeting?

See the online conference announcement below, Also, there are gif
buttons and a pdf flyer for the conference at:

http://www.usenix.org/events/lisa05/promote.html

Are there other mechanisms we can use to get the message out to your
membership?  (e.g.: can we post this to the list, or can you post it
for us?) We'd also like to spread the word to other potentially
interested groups in the area: are there other local groups (user
groups, ACM chapters, corporations, universities etc.) I should be
trying to contact?

Or let me know if I'm being harassing.

Thanks for any help, -Peter

> how it
> works (the onion router and Tor), how to install and run it(its  
> easy!),
> and how it's a very secure system. I'll also look at the common
> criticisms, who needs this kind of technology and why, compare the Tor
> network to other anonymous systems, such as anonymizer, and  
> contrast Tor
> with traditional proxies. I'll finish up with talking about hidden
> services Tor can provide, and allow for questions and comments of  
> course."
