#Net2 Kitchener-Waterloo: Offsite Hosting
Video report from the NetSquared Kitchener-Waterloo May 8 meeting. Video courtesy of Gheorghe Curelet-Balan.
Where are your servers? Are you self-hosting? Have you thought about professional hosting? What services does a professional hosting service offer? Do you need shared hosting? Do you need a VPS? What's a VPS? What's a colocation site? How much will all this cost?
Come share your experiences with self-hosting, shared hosting, and VPSes. Bob and Marc have the questions, and special guest Mark Steffen from indieServe Networks will have the answers.
See you at the meeting!

Malware discussion at NetSquared Kitchener-Waterloo meetup
Video from NetSquared Kitchener-Waterloo, June 12, 2017.
Are you protected from malware? On your desktop computers? On your servers? Does your staff have malware protection at home? Is anti-virus software enough? What's "ransomware"? What's the difference between a virus, a trojan, and a phishing attack? Does it matter? How do you protect yourself from malware? What's the best way to react to a malware outbreak? How do you recover from a malware attack?
We'll share our experiences in a round table discussion, and perhaps have a guest from the industry to provide some of the answers.

#NPTechClubATX Video – Overcoming Your Echo Chamber: Algorithms and Messaging Across Partisan Lines
Video from Nonprofit Tech Club Austin's August 23 meetup.
Ivy Le, Principal of 9 Terrains in Austin, shares her insights into how nonprofits can better understand algorithms, and develop ways to listen to and monitor the opinions and actions of those who disagree with positions nonprofits are advocating. With this in mind, Ivy shares her thoughts about ways in which nonprofits can learn to "message" across partisan lines.
"From dating websites and City trading floors, through to online retailing and internet searches (Google's search algorithm is now a more closely guarded commercial secret than the recipe for Coca-Cola), algorithms are increasingly determining our collective futures. 'Bank approvals, store cards, job matches and more all run on similar principles,' says Ball. 'The algorithm is the god from the machine powering them all, for good or ill.'" -The Guardian
