Hi

Yes that's right it's nearly time again for another Bristol and Bath
Linux User Group meeting at our usual location of the Knight's Templar
Pub near Temple Meads Train station:
http://www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/home/pubs/the-knights-templar

As usual regulars, but also new people are welcome to attend. For new
people I suggest not turning up until 1:30pm by the earliest, when at
least someone else is likely to be there. We sit on the lower level at
the back of the pub when entering it in the left hand side corner by the
plugs, unless someone else is already there and then instead we will be
near. People tend to leave between 4pm and 5:30pm.

The LUG meeting's are an oppertunity to talk about various different
things to do with Linux or otherwise. They can also be used usually for
at least some support, but it's a good idea to give people an idea on
the mailing list what wanting help with before coming along requesting
help at the meeting. It's just a informal pub meeting that's about
having fun really, but if you have anything you would like to show us at
the meeting or give away that is Linux/tech related, please bring it along.

Regards

Sebastian

P.S

I'll start a http://meetup.com page for the LUG soon, but I haven't done
so just yet.

Hi

Wrong month in subject of original email. Also who's intending on
coming to the meeting this Saturday? I'll probably be there about 2pm
or 3pm.

I intend to come along on Saturday! I may bring some Arduino-based
stuff, or maybe some ARM stuff. I'll also have the vacuum fluorescent
till display connected to a laptop and showing a LUG message -- if I
can get to the mains plugs, that is.

FYI, in case you missed it.

Overview:
http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/09/bug-in-bash-shell-creates-big-security-hole-on-anything-with-nix-in-it/

More detail:
https://securityblog.redhat.com/2014/09/24/bash-specially-crafted-environment-variables-code-injection-attack/

Both feature a quick one-line test for vulnerability. I verified this
morning that my Ubuntu 14.04 systems were vulnerable, but after a
package manager upgrade, the vulnerability was fixed.
