The main part of the meeting will be a talk.

In light of the recent Shellshock vulnerability public disclosure we'll
have have an investigation into shell behaviour.

We'll have a look at command line & shell script programming gotchas,
surprises, behind the scenes, security risks and best practice.  We'll
then finish off with a look at Shellshock and its far reaching impact.
