Saint Louis Unix Users GroupThe Saint Louis Unix Users Group (SLUUG) is an IRS 501c(6) designated not-for-profit professional association dedicated to education and communication among computer users. SLUUG members include many Linux and UNIX professionals, Networking experts, System experts, hobbyists, and students. Also, many who are interested in Unix, Unix-like Operating Systems, Linux, BSD and other Free Open Source Software (FOSS) applications, products, projects and services. We have met continuously since we incorporated in July 1992. All of our meetings are free and open to the public. There is no individual membership fee. Monthly Technical PresentationsConnection instructions will first be sent to our mailing lists and then linked here . We will open the remote session at about 6:00 PM, Central Time, so that you can join early to test your microphone, screen sharing and video camera . Then we start at 6:30 PM with our BASE introductory level session ( often focused on personal computing ); which may include either amazing graphical packages, blinking lights, command line wonders, demonstrations of useful applications, displays of newly discovered web sites, major resolution of long standing anomalies, quantum discoveries, smoke and mirrors, superb tutorials, or shifts in both time and space. Sometime after 7:00 PM we attempt a quick welcome, introductions, announcements, current events of interest, and a general CALL FOR HELP (Questions and Answers) segment. Sometime after 7:15 PM, we may take a short break before our MAIN topic ( often focused on enterprise computing ), Where!

What!Something fundamental, introductory, instructive, short, simple or small. BASE Topic: Gemini Live and V0 by VercelPresenter: Sean TwiehausSean will demonstrate two brand new Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) tools. Google Gemini Live. This innovative AI application allows users to have a verbal conversation with Google Gemini. With Gemini Live you verbally ask the AI a question. It verbally responds. Then, you can follow up with another verbal question. While the AI is responding, you can interrupt it to change topic or ask even more questions. V0 by Vercel. This AI can generate AMAZING UI code. Sean will demonstrate creating a fairly complex User Interface using only English prompts. The V0 AI will take Sean's prompt and generate clean React code. Gemini LiveV0 by VercelSLUUG Presentations about: aiSomething more advanced, detailed, important, new, profound, significant, timely or useful. MAIN Topic: Handling Linux CVEs and Linus Torvalds' Keynote Kubecon 2024Presenter: Steven BorrelliSteven will discuss 2 presentation from last month's Kubecon 2024 conference. 1. Linux Kernel CVEs, What Has Caused So Many to Suddenly Show Up? - Greg Kroah-Hartman In February the Linux kernel community took charge of issuing CVEs for any found vulnerability in their codebase. By doing this, they took away the ability for any random company to assign CVEs in order to make their engineering processes run smoother, and instead have set up a structure for everyone to participate equally. This talk will go into how the Linux CVE team works, how CVEs are assigned, and how you can properly handle the huge number of new CVEs happening in a simple and secure way.' ( SLUUG note: CVE = Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) numbers are given as names to threats that are used to 'hack', attack, steal, break, ... ) 2. Keynote: Linus Torvalds, Creator of Linux and Git, in Conversation with Dirk Hohndel Also from this conference, Steven will discuss, the Keynote Address by Linus Torvalds Linux Kernel CVEs , What has caused so many to Suddenly Show Up? - Greg Kroah-HartmanLinus's Keynote - Kubecon 2024Kubecon 2024 - Keynote SessionsSLUUG Presentations about: securitySLUUG Presentations about: Linux TorvaldsPossible Future TopicsOther independent, loosely affiliated SLUUG sponsored Special Interest Groups:SLUUG Sponsored meetingsClick here if you do not see sponsored meeting mini-calendarContact SLUUG if you have a presentation you would like to have considered for selection.
