beTech :: Evolve Already

beCamp was such a huge success that we’d like to see if we can get a little of that magic to rub off on some topic-focused mini-conferences. These one-day mini-conferences, let’s call them “weeCamp“, would zoom in on a broad topic of interest to beTechies and others keen on advancing their Web knowledge. As with beCamp, the participants of weeCamp will have pleny of opportunities to teach, learn, and share with their peers. The proposed format for such an event might go something like this.

Of course, since this is only a single day, business-hours event, we’re tossing out some of the mojo that made beCamp work so well. That’s right, no t-shirts, no beer, no jamming with Wendy and the Wii (not to mention Surfzilla!). But we also don’t have to pan-handle for sponsors either. Perhaps it’s a workable tradeoff. Let’s see.

Web Application Security

Marty Peterman and the ITC Security Department have volunteered their support for the first weeCamp event. On October 8, 2007, spend a day with your peers on the topic of Web Application Security. Our “keynote speaker” will be none other than Dan Goldberg—founder of MADJiC Consulting, the technical director of Global Information Assurance Certification (GIAC), and an incident handler for the Internet Storm Center. We’re ecstatic to have Marty and Dan on-board and to have such an engaging, crucial topic to kick-off our first weeCamp.
