Week End Reading! How to Pass an IT Audit
This guide covers the steps and procedures to passing an IT GRC audit -- as told by an enterprise end-user who deployed QualysGuard Policy Compliance. The tool allowed the audit team to be more productive by focusing time on analyzing the data and preparing for audits -- instead of administrating the tool.

B.C Canada Open Data Hackathon
This month the Government of B.C Canada and their newly created DataBC effort is planning a hackathon, the first ever from Data BC, the Government’s open data initiative. The event invites anyone from the public who enjoys working with public data products to participate. Ideally, those who are web developers, programmers, writers and the like will get most benefit from the event although anyone is invited to participate – I’d suggest that people who are familiar with the “un-conference” format would be most comfortable and those who aren’t should realize that a loosely structured event with much “audience” participation and interaction is needed in order for the event to be truly a valuable experience. For an idea on the kinds of data available to hack I suggest you take a look at http://www.data.gov.bc.ca/ – a new initiative from the B.C Government – data products include school scores, fish population data, public trails, and much more.

Essential Guide to Google Apps
You're running your own business, have a website, and your own email address. It's great because it gives you that professional edge. Now you're getting lots of emails, and you need an efficient way to read them and manage them. You could use desktop clients like Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird or Apple Mail, but it's a pain to set them up on all your computers and you want to be able to get at your mail even when you're away from your own devices. You try to use the webmail option that come with your web host, but frankly it's unusable. It's slow, and it's confusing. If only there was a better way! Enter Google Apps.
