Next Saturday, I’m bringing to a close the subject I coordinate: Systems Integration with Libre Software which was set out in five different topics:

• Services related with systems and network administration.
• Web services related with web systems administration.
• Workshop on systems integration.
• Scripting.
• Network, user and physical security.

Berto, Javi Muñoz, Quique and me have been the teachers, but we counted on Marcelo Branco who gave a talk about “Libre Software and open standards in Public Administration”.

During this subject we have tried to teach in a practical way testing almost all the topics while the teacher was explaining the concepts. Thanks to this approach our students have been able to develop a custom Single Sign On and a Soap Server, analyze the configuration of different servers (Apache, LDAP, etc.), practice firewalling and some hacking concepts or develop some scripts in bash and perl. You can download documents and examples from URJC Moodle.

Next Saturday I’m going to have a debate with the students about all the subject and I will try to obtain some feedback in order to improve it for the next Master on Free/Libre Software in Vigo.
