SFD: One Big Day with Security

Today was one big day in our festival and this is for two reasons: unusual speaker and unusual topic. The speaker was Eng. Mohamed Sayed, a senior administrator at Yahoo!. He is an amazing guy who has a lot of experience and great attitude. He is such a friendly person. We had two sessions. One with the topic "Openly Secure", which was a simple presentation about basics of security and using open source software in building secure infrastructure. The second one was about "Secure Tunnels", which was an introduction about building a virtual network tunnel to work through to be more secure. Although I don't have a big background about networks and security, I understood almost the whole session. There was a code part to demonstrate a simple PF policy on OpenBSD that I didn't understand but I got the main idea behind it which was a good thing. Really, it was nice sessions and two of the best sessions we had in Software Freedom Day. The good thing for us as organizers that there was variant audience with variant levels of experience and all of them were pleased with the two sessions. We had a really good feedback from them. I hope we can have Eng Mohamed Sayed again in other sessions. At last, I can only say, Thank you, Eng Mohamed. We all had a great useful time.
