Boston’s BeanSec Is This Monday! For The Love Of God!
Thomas Ptacek | August 11th, 2006 | Filed Under: Gatherings, Uncategorized
The Boston iteration of our security meetup saga starts… now! Or, rather, this Monday August 14, 2006. ChiSec, NYSEC, and SeaSec have worked nicely. There are lots of security people in Boston. This meetup was organized by Oliver Day, Chris Wysopal, and Christofer Hoff. It is highly likely that BeanSec will be the best security thing you go to in Boston all year. At least, that’s what Oliver tells me.
We’ll have a web page up soon, but in the meantime:
What
An informal meetup of information security professionals and academics in the Cambridge/Boston area. Unlike other meetings, you will not be expected to pay dues, “join up”, present a zero-day exploit, or defend your dissertation to attend. (… but Oliver, my dissertation rules!)
Where
Enormous Room
That’s in Central Square, Cambridge. You take the red line on the T to the Central Square stop and walk to blocks or park at any of the nearby parking garages on Green Street, and if you think I know what any of that means, you’re on crazy pills. Here’s a map.
When
BeanSec 1 is this Monday, at 6:00PM. We’re aiming for the middle of every other month. They’ll stay until
Enormous Room
gets packed (that joke getting old yet?) or they kick us out. Plan for roughly three hours.
Why
Boston has enough formal events, like ISSA, and elite events like 2621. This is just a way for locals in the field to get to know each other.
