Revelation is a password manager for the GNOME desktop, released under the GNU GPL license. It stores all your accounts and passwords in a single, secure place, and gives you access to it through a user-friendly graphical interface.
Secure: passwords are stored in an AES-encrypted data file with cipher block chaining.
My suggestion for April's Meeting would be tools within the F/OSS community that will help with day to day business to improve inter-office communication. Tools included within the presentation will include but not limited to.
Tools will include
- Phone Systems
- Group Calibration Platform
- Email
- Calenders Free/Busy
- Information Logs
- Address Book
- Syncing information between devices such as cell phones and PDA's
We had a great turn out at out last meeting, an open round table about issues we are having some. different project discussion, a few new users to Linux also came out.
Since this is only our second meeting we talked what should we do about presentations, March I've suggest that we each bring a Linux application or tool that we use and can't live without. So it's open for you to make a short presentation about some tools that you use in your favourite operating system.
