Re: Seattle Snort User Group meets 2/13/2007 at 7:00 PM at SSCC RAH304

We'll try this again, and if we aren't visited with a plague of toads
or other calamity, I'll present an intro to Nagios, the
host/service/network monitoring tool.  See you Tuesday!

The Seattle Snort User Group 
meets 1/16/2007 at 7:00 PM at SSCC RAH304

 Come learn about Snort^H^H^H^H Nagios, one of the leading network and service monitoring applications.   
It also happens to be available FREE.  Free to use, free to modify and  adapt to your needs. Snort has a
successful company (Sourcefire) backing it, and an army of community developers providing their own
enhancements.  Snort is the Red Pill that will allow you to see what is happening on the wire - good and bad.      

(All these things about Snort are true, but we'll be talking about Nagios and Cacti.  )

Attractions: 

   *nix-centric trivia contest and schwag raffle  

Presentation Topic: Nagios and Cacti      

This time we're going to branch out a bit; a lot of our attendees are generalists like me.  I found Nagios easy
to set up and understand, and Cacti was a snap, too.  But I'm already getting useful data and finding things
out before people call me about them.

WA GA son-of-32100 to be turned over to DIS

(Forwarding OK)

People who are long-time members of this list and GSLUG may recall my 
following of the Washington State IT Personal Services contractor pool which 
is maintained by General Administration (originally contract 32100), Office 
of Strategic Procurement. When this was refreshed in 2005 the technical 
requirements for bid submittal required bid documents to be prepared and 
submitted with Microsoft Office 2003, intentionally (if implicitly) 
precluding preparation using OpenOffice (I filed a protest to gain 
clarification of this).

I received the appended notice (as a Word document), and thought I'd share.

I will note for purposes of political background that Mr. Lovaas was the RFP 
Coordinator for the GA-OSP program; I haven't drawn any conclusions about his 
move from a ga.wa.gov e-mail address to dis.wa.gov.
