Sector67: Technology for Nonprofits & Community

Technology for Nonprofits & Communities is Madison Nonprofit Day's first effort to present a full schedule of technology and technology related topics that are accessible to and enhance both the nonprofits and the community. The workshops hopefully appeal to a wide range of individuals from nonprofit staff and volunteers to social entrepreneurs, accidental techies, students, and the community. Madison Nonprofit Day joined with Sector67 to create a community friendly, technology education day. The workshops are all ages, so bring your children and teens along.

Surviving the IPocalypse: IPv6, Linux, and You

Everyone who has a presence on the web is going to be forced to more about IPv6 in the coming years. Get ahead of the curve! Quick, grab your smartphone, e-reader, computer and family (in that order), pack some supplies, and head for the hills! (except in Kansas, which is too flat.) The Internet as we currently know it is coming to an end! We're running out of host addresses! In a matter of months, not decades they will all be used up. Are you prepared for the single biggest network event since broadband? Say goodbye to your old friends like 209.85.225.99 and hello to 2001:4860:b007::6a (google.com). The existing IP version 4 numbering system with 32-bit addresses is nearly exhausted. In 2013, the last one will be gone. History! But, there is hope of rescue. It's not the cavalry, it's the Internet protocol version 6, with new-fangled 128-bit addresses, and it will impact every networked digital device, router and service you use. What does this all mean?

SPECIAL GUEST! Introduction to OpenSUSE by author Mike McCallister

You'll close your Windows, put your Snow Leopard to sleep, and maybe even (gasp!) unload Ubuntu when you see the beauty of openSUSE Linux!

MadLUG is pleased to have guest speaker Mike McCallister (author of openSUSE Linux Unleashed, WordPress In Depth, etc.) present a demonstration of openSUSE Linux. You will get a broad overview of openSUSE while exploring the visuals, package management and included software of this great Linux distro. In addition to the software, Mike will discuss the openSUSE community and overall strategy.

Bonus! You will also get a detailed demo of KDE 4.5 by an expert who can make it perform minor miracles. If you are a GNOME user, you'll quickly understand why KDE has been getting a lot of attention lately. Existing KDE users can pickup some advanced tips and tricks.

A group of folks interested in working locally around raising awareness and organizing around Net Neutrality are meeting at Bendyworks (http://bendyworks.com/) on September 15th, 2010 at 6pm. At this initial meeting we will flush out a statement of purpose and outline some initial activities. Some ideas so far for activities are making PSAs, working with local media, and connecting with folks at the upcoming NetRoots conference at the end of September. There has been some great work done in this area: http://wcfnn.blogspot.com . We are hoping to revive some of that energy. Please come if you are interested in participating.
