OxMUG Committee meeting

News of Snow Leopard and the new iPhone OS almost live from WWDC Graham Lee will divulge the news and provide comments direct from WWDC which starts today.
To quote Apple: "The groundbreaking innovations of Mac OS X Leopard and iPhone OS offer two revolutionary development platforms for developers and IT professionals. The Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) is the only place you can receive technical information on these sophisticated platforms from the engineers who created them. Bring your code to the labs and work one-to-one with Apple engineers, applying development methods and best-practices you gain from sessions to enhance your application."
We will also have:
Round table discussion will cover what Graham has said and other exciting developments since his recording, expanding on them. Chaired by Paul, Ross and other OxMUG members
Neil Clifford will talk about the Leopard Firewall and hopefully give some easy to use pointers, maybe also providing a set of "bottled" rules that any Leopard user can pour into their Firewall.
Ben Jupp one of our security professionals will talk through Anti-virus and related infection subjects relevant to all Mac users and hopefully give some “ABC” instructional guidelines and some recommendations to which AV app to use.
