Hello,
With the APE Contern we would like to organize a security event in the
spring 2012
The idea is to actually show security treats encountered every day and
not only have a presenter talk about security.
We could demonstrate phishing, WiFi spying on public places....
This is not a Linux presentation and most of the people coming will be
Windows user.
The advantage of having LiLux co-organize the event is that we can
promote free software only by our presence and maybe by distributing
some flyers.
Who could help with ideas, and presence on the event?
Our next meeting is scheduled for the 24th of November. More details
will come later.
Best regards.

Hello all,
Like many other people, I'm starting to become fed up with Firefox:
- crazy versioning scheme, which regularly breaks add-ons (such as HTML
Validator)
- bugs unfixed since almost 10 years
- gratuitous and frivolous GUI changes
(This is especially painful on a distribution such as Fedora, which
seems to follow every Firefox version. On Kubuntu 10.04 it is bearable,
as it sticks with 3.6)
Of course, there's other browsers such as Opera, Midori or ... gasp ...
Chrome.
However, as one of the main reasons for my discontent is the breakage of
addons, and as those other browsers don't have addons at all (or are
incompatible with the many Firefox addons), switching to one of those
wouldn't solve the problem...
So, here's my question: does anybody know of a fork of Firefox/Mozilla
from around the 3.x period which kept with sane version numbers while
still fixing bugs? Or an entire different browser, but that can use
Firefox add-ons?
I know, there is seamonkey, but apparently it branched off in the 2.x
days, which is a tad *too* old for me.
Thanks for any ideas,
Alain
