| 7 | +Recently I was travelling to [Chennai](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chennai) |
| 8 | +for some personal work. I was very clear on meeting |
| 9 | +[Mr.Shakthi Kannan](http://shakthimaan.com/). During my journy I dropped a mail |
| 10 | +inquiring about his availability. He replied with an invitation to attend the |
| 11 | +meetup of [Indian Linux Users Group |
| 12 | +Chennai](https://www.meetup.com/ILUG-C/events/234086665/) scheduled at |
| 13 | +[IIT Madras](https://www.iitm.ac.in/). I happily accepted the invitation and |
| 14 | +decided to attend the meetup. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +The meetup was happening at the Aero Space Engineering department, IIT Madras |
| 17 | +campus. I found the campus is quite huge in area. The cab driver dropped me at |
| 18 | +the gate. It took 15 minutes bus journy to reach the department. Because I was late, I missed the initial talk on Emacs Org mode by Shakthi. I was lucky enough to |
| 19 | +attend lightning talk section. When I entered into classroom one young boy was |
| 20 | +demonstrating [BeFF](http://tools.kali.org/exploitation-tools/beef-xss). BeFF |
| 21 | +is penetration testing tool. I was not aware about this tool before his talk. |
| 22 | +After his words I am confident for switching to documentation and implimenting. |
| 23 | +His talk ended with little discussion on doubts people were having. Nearly one |
| 24 | +hour was still remaining. Shakthi came forward and invited interested people to |
| 25 | +present if they want to. That ringed a bell on mine. I was even not sure about |
| 26 | +attending meetup and presenting something instantly was looking little touch at |
| 27 | +first glance. One guy moved forward and presented on Linux stacks(confirm this |
| 28 | +topic with Shakthi). I quickly skimmed on list of topics I was aware about and |
| 29 | +I decided to speak on [JSON Web |
| 30 | +Token](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON_Web_Token). Initially I started with |
| 31 | +little description about myself. I demonstrated ways to generate token. Discussed |
| 32 | +about architecture. Gave few guidlines and points to remember. I ended my talk |
| 33 | +with comparing [Oauth 2.0](https://oauth.net/2/) with JWT. Few interested |
| 34 | +people asked question and I was lucky enough to solve their confusions. We |
| 35 | +discussed about Angular JS and its versions. Little more discussion on Jquery, |
| 36 | +React JS compared with Angular JS. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +I realised it is good to have small and interested audiance than having large |
| 39 | +and outfocused one. The group has nice experienced people in the GNU/Linux |
| 40 | +domain. If Chennai is your town, I will encourage you to join this group and |
| 41 | +get involved. |
