Our first meetup following All Things Open 2025 will be a doozy! For several reasons..

First, the topic and speaker are highly relevant and world-class - **AI and Linux in 2025** with [Jay the Linux Guy from Learn Linux TV](https://2025.allthingsopen.org/speakers/jay-lacroix).

Also, the location is AMAZING - **the Barn at Bandwidth's Raleigh campus**.

Finally, **we'll host a book signing for Jay** and will give away a number of his latest book.

Live programming begins at 6:30, doors open at 6:00 pm sharp for networking and food and beverages. We'll also make some sweet swag available. so arrive early if interested!

**Abstract:** Coming soon

**Speaker:** Jay the Linux Guy from Learn Linux TV

**Bio:**
Jay is a passionate technologist and enjoys working on just about any form of technology he can get his hands on, and spends his free time tinkering with network/server hardware, virtualization, Raspberry Pi’s, writing scripts, and more. Of all the technology he works with, Jay is the most passionate about Linux and its community. With over two decades of experience supporting Linux professionally, Jay started Learn Linux TV – an education company that focuses on teaching concepts that surround Linux and related technologies. As part of this company, Jay writes Linux-related books and produces training content that teaches important concepts from an experienced and hands-on perspective. The YouTube channel of the same name now has over 1 million subscribers and well over 56 million views. Outside of Linux, Jay enjoys collecting classic video games.

AI and Linux in 2025 - with Jay the Linux Guy and Learn Linux TV

Bandwidth

*\*please note your first and last name and email address are required to RSVP for this event due to onsite security requirements\**

We'll host our second BIG meetup in November in partnership with a very special organization - OpenSSL! **Post-quantum cryptography** and **security** and **privacy** will be the focal point of the evening.

Also, the event will take place at a brand-new (for us) venue - Cisco's RTP campus! We've never hosted a meetup here, so we're really looking forward to it.

The evening will feature networking with the RTP tech community, an amazing 15-20 minute stand-alone talk, and a panel discussion featuring 3-4 of the region's top security experts. The OpenSSL team, who will be onsite, will be delivering the talk and moderating the panel.

Doors open at 6:00 pm ET sharp for networking, live programming begins at 6:30. \*Food and beverages will be served and great swag will be available.

**Stand-Alone Talk:**
Open Source Post-Quantum Cryptography

**Description:**
Matt Caswell, President of OpenSSL Foundation, will give an introduction to post-quantum cryptography, using OpenSSL as an example. Following the talk, he will moderate a panel discussion with industry experts from the RTP area exploring how their organizations are deploying and using post-quantum cryptography.

**Panel Description:**
Many of the cryptographic algorithms that are widely used and deployed today are susceptible to being broken by a sufficiently powerful quantum computer, if such a thing is ever developed. Even today’s communications could be at risk due to harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks. Cryptographers and Cyber-security professionals have been worried about this existential threat for years. Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is a new field of practice that uses algorithms that are designed to be safe from these types of attacks. In 2024, new PQC algorithm standards were published, and these standardized algorithms are now starting to appear in mainstream open-source cryptographic libraries such as OpenSSL 3.5. Learn more about the implications of PQC, and how major commercial organizations are responding to these developments.

**Panelists:** Coming soon

More details are coming soon, so RSVP to receive updates!
