Networking Presentation (Part 1 of 2)

Don't know your DNS from your TCP? Join MadLUG for a detailed overview of general networking topics such as Firewalls, DHCP, Routing Tables, Tunnels, and a whole bunch more. We'll cover the concepts that will give you a solid background and also introduce you to a few Linux tools that will help you gauge the health of your network.

Armed with this knowledge, you will have a better understanding of how to setup things like VPNs and servers, track down connectivity issues, and improve the overall performance of your network. This presentation is suitable for people who are new to networking concepts as well those who would like to round out their existing knowledge.

Nonprofits and Section 508: Is Your Website Accessible?

In this workshop we will discuss what it means to be an accessible website, what the government mandates (and for whom), what kinds of questions you should be asking your developers to make sure you are accessible, how to move beyond government mandates and what the future holds for accessibility. This workshop is appropriate for the non-technical, but the presenter can answer very technical questions as well. This workshop is one of the Madison Nonprofit Day Technology series. Presented by Greg Tarnoff at the Goodman Community Center, 149 Waubesa Street, at 1pm.
