[DISIG-cabal] Fwd: Some ISIG ideas

[Jim Cheetham]

We could probably attract a percentage of the polytech students by timing talks to match their courses ... well that was the idea.

So, September we might want to have a talk about security issues in things like vmware ... and in November look at the downsides of linux cgroups/containers  ... ?

Hey Jim,

Form our conversation just now, here are three possible topics to
discuss at ISIG:

1. I'll be covering "traditional" virtualistation - hypervisors, vms,
etc. in roughly August-September.
2. I'll be covering containers - mostly docker - from mid-October
though November.

There's a lot of security related stuff to talk about there.

3. There's also a 3rd year paper next semester about IoT stuff, and I
personally think there are heaps of good security topics around IoT
worth discussing.

Also, I'm working on a talk right now that I hope to give at PyCon AU
in August. The topic is roughly about taking some of the ideas and
approaches from infosec and applying them to the problem of looking
after users' personal well being and safety while they're using
software and services.

Cheers,
Tom
