Vancouver Chapter (sort of) series with VanTUG

I have been presented with an opportunity to give a whole series of presentations to a non-security group.  

We, as security people, always complain that nobody in tech ever wants to listen to us, so I am not about to turn down an opportunity for an eight-month gig to evangelize our non-security bretheren.

 

VanTUG used to be VaNTug, the Vancouver NT Users Group, and so has some pretty strong ties to Microsoft, but is now the Vancouver Technology Users Group. They haven't been meeting (at all, let alone in person) during the pandemic, so I think that possibly this invite to me is just to get themselves rolling again.  But it's still an opportunity.

 

The VanTUG President has said that they are open to co-meeting with, well, anybody, really, so we have an open invite to attend these meetings. (No charge to join or attend the meetings/lectures.) They are going to be held on MS Teams, so that's an opportunity to test out another platform.

 

The first of these presentations is going to be on this Tuesday, February 2nd, and the first and third Tuesdays of the month thereafter, currently slated to run until September. The meetings are from 7 pm to 8:30 pm.

 

I think this is a general invite to the group: https://teams.microsoft.com/join/r7slh6566c60

It isn't really necessary to join the group in order to attend the meetings, but it is an easier way to get the links for the "meetings" as we go along. If you don't want to join the "Team," I'll be posting updates and announcements here or on my Twitter feed at https://twitter.com/rslade.

 

VanTUG has a Website, and can be reached via email at 3c501c6a.VancouverTechnologyUserGrou.onmicrosoft.com@ca.teams.ms

However, if you send email to that, is tends to end up on the Teams chat, so, if you want a reply, better send your email address in the body of the message. The "From:" field tends not to be visible.

 

Past "meetings" should be available on my YouTube channel.

 

The proposed sched (and the list of topics/meetings that have already taken place) is something like:

 

VSS 1 - Security Frameworks


VSS 2 - Security Management Lessons from CoVID-19

The video recording of the VSS 2 meeting is on YouTube at:

The video recording of the VSS 3 meeting is on YouTube at:

Over on Slack, I have just found [Ctrl] / (hold down the "Ctrl" key, or the cloverleaf key on a Mac, and hit the "/" key).

This would have been extremely useful, had I but known it earlier when exploring Slack.

Especially [Shift] [Enter]
 
So, I tried it out on Teams, having noticed some similarities.
 
"Some" similarities?  Obviously, the Teams people have just copied Slack wholesale.  (Well, the keyboard shortcuts command, directly, in Teams is [Ctrl]. rather than [Ctrl]/, which in Teams brings up commands, but still ...)

(Boy, putting this together is taking up a lot of time.  I've spent four hours already this morning doing "garbage collection" on it, noting stuff that still needs to be done, and I'm finding lots that has gotten lost over the past week while concentrating on this.  Still only just starting to get to yesterday's email, and whatever results from that ...)

As previously noted, welcome.

Hope you can join us for the next meeting, February 16th, 2021, 7 PM to 8:30
PM, Pacific (Vancouver) time. It'll start a three-part mini-series on security
lessons from CoVID-19. Here is a shortened link for the meeting:
https://is.gd/NdqYGh
(It should be set to give you a preview. It is the actual link to the meeting, not a
registration link or anything else. If you want to join the VanTUG Teams space,
see the first posting in this topic.)

(Whereabouts on the Sunshine Coast? My folks had a place on Keats Island, and I
basically grew up there, summers.)

We can talk about that, too 🙂

OK, a bit of a test with the video link function on the "community."  Herewith the recording of the February 16th "meeting" of the VSS.  That's the second lecture, but part one of a three part "mini-series" on "Security Lessons from CoVID-19."
