We love that several of the BSides Leeds and other UK folks are helping with volunteering at Noob Village in DefCon this year. @grommoss.bsky.social 's on the No Stupid Questions desk with @ladycyberrosie.bsky.social who's also on a panel with our @jaysonstreet.bsky.social & @tib3rius.bsky.social

Heading to DefCon this year? First time? Head for noobvillage in the Community Rooms on the 2nd Level near The Diana Initiative and Lonely Hackers Club.
Look for folks in these cool pink vests (not goons, just friendly volunteers for our community happy to answer questions).

Some not very good photos from @bsidesleeds.bsky.social

It was lovely to see so many people after such a long time, and to give @mintynet.com IRL ((hugs)) rather than virtual.

Photo of of the opening of Mat Caplan's talk in compliance at bSides Leeds. Slide says "Stop Making Nonsense”, there are a lot of backs of heads in fron of me.

Thanks again to the organisers, volunteers, speakers, and sponsors for making this fantastic event happen. Met lots of wonderful people (new and old), saw some great talks, and had a load of interesting chats. If you've never been to a BSides, get yourself down to one, they are excellent events.

BSides Leeds @bsidesleeds.bsky.social · Jun 21

And that's a wrap! Thank you all. ❤️

Thank you message, to the speakers, volunteers, sponsors, CFP review panel, and speaker mentors

Morning coffee in hand as normality returns after another great @bsidesleeds.bsky.social

Theme of closing panel discussions was Community - for me, encapsulated by meeting Mr Awkward Hugs himself @jaysonstreet.bsky.social IRL ~2 decades after sharing random various messages in online forums

Had an awesome time volunteering at @bsidesleeds.bsky.social yesterday. Managed to catch most of @jaysonstreet.bsky.social brilliant keynote, and thanks to the incredible @ministraitor.bsky.social I can catch up on what I missed later.

The rest of the day is a heart swelling blur. 🥰

Best of luck to @bsidesleeds.bsky.social. I hope everyone has a smashing time.

For fun, here's @thebeerfarmers.org making a right arse of themselves at the event, back in 2019.
