Event Agenda:

There will be a main talk between 30 minutes to 1 hour followed by optional lighting talks. Pizza will be provided by New Relic.

Main Talk: Notes from the blue team by Elaine Laguerta

Hi! I'm a blue-team security engineer. I try to make it easier for devs to build software while balancing safety and security. In this talk I'll rant about some things I think you should know. What we won't talk about: the OWASP Top 10, how to do SQL injection, which hash functions are the most secure. I'll provide a list of links to answer questions like these! What we will talk about: A basic checklist for secure development, what new devs should learn, how experienced devs can stay up-to-date, and why a healthy team culture should be a core part of your security posture.

Lightning Talks: Lightning talks are talks up to 5 minutes in length on any topic that might interest other Python people.

Wearing a mask at all times (except eating and drinking) is required to attend the event :D Share your projects, chat with the community, work on your game jam projects, and play games at an in-person Art/Code co-working night!

Bring your laptop, drawing tablet, paper, prototypes, boardgames, etc. to work on some game code, art, reviews, testing, play, or anything in between in the company of fellow local game devs and enthusiasts! Lots of people bring games to play with each other, bring a work-in-progress to ask for feedback or advice, or spend time asking others about what they're working on. If you don't have something to work on, feel free to hang out: this is a welcoming, open social setting for meeting local players and developers!

This event has no timed, structured agenda - feel free to drop in our out at any time to socialize, cowork, and play.

All attendees are required to follow our Code of Conduct, including when considering what games they bring to the event. E-mail us at [email protected] if you have any questions!

The EMF Explorer Badge is an electromagnetic frequency sensing circuit that lets you listed to the world of hidden electromagnetic frequencies around you.

This workshop will involve building the EMF circuit on a breadboard and experimenting with different values. Then, there is a chance to build your own EMF Explorer kit and join us on a sound exploration walkabout.

The completed PCB can also be worn as a badge on a lanyard, used to illuminate yourself at night, and be ready to sniff out hidden EMF signals with the use of headphones. No previous electronics experience is required to appreciate and use this badge, and it’s a great way to learn more about your world by exploring the different properties of our surroundings. The kit requires soldering and runs on two AAA batteries.
