Visualization tak at HEP

or, at the UW High Energy Physics meeting room. 7:30pm, Tuesday, 30th Sept. 2008.

The conference room is on the fourth floor in room 4274, next to the department office. Enter the building on the north side (near Sterling hall) and simply head up to the fourth floor -- the conference room is the sixth door on the right. University parking is available near Chamberlin Hall, but it might be simpler to park downtown and walk. Wireless access will be provided.

surprise presentation alert: data visualization

This is not a regular MadSec meeting, but more of a chance event. The presenter will be visiting town, and it did not take much to make him agree to give his spiel.

The time and date are not yet scheduled, but will be around Sept 28th-30th.
The topic is visualizing data. At this point, I do not know much more.

Metrics: Sept 23rd

If all goes well, the meeting tomorrow should include a presentation on metrics, answering question of "what, how, and why".

Again, the meeting is at The Brass Ring, 4pm. When you walk in, go to the left, and up to a 2nd level, or a gallery of sorts.

Given the bizarre problems I had with notifications, I might grab people who show up there, and get a table outside. It will be quite obvious and easy to find, I think...

Meeting - Brass Ring, Tuesday, Sept 23rd, 4pm

Hi all,

after a short break, I would like to invite you to Brass Ring, in about two weeks for a new and improved MadSec meeting. The major part of the improvement plan are presentations, and I will deliver the first one, which (if all goes well) will cover selection and use of metrics in IT in general, and security in particular.

Time is a bit of an experiment, based on the feedback I got. I will count votes against it, so drop me a line if late night is a much better fit.

Brass Ring should offer reasonably secluded and quiet venue, but that theory needs some testing. I will likely be testing it on the 16th, along with assorted local IT types. Feel free to drop by if you feel like it (just confirm first please).
