Security B-Sides San Francisco – Preview

Posted by SecBarbie on Thursday Feb 11, 2010 Under Women in Security, security

If you have been living under a rock somewhere and somehow haven’t heard about this revolution known as SecurityBsides, well, perk up folks! With SecurityBSides San Francisco being the second large-scale un-conferences that compliments a large corporate conference, the proposed talks are already shaping up to be something so very special to our industry! This is an un-conference that is completely powered by the people, so if you haven’t yet voted for the talks that you would like to hear, do it or don’t complain!

Here is my short-list of talks that I think are going to be wonderful

*Some are not yet picked to present, so if you agree, vote often!

    Hey – in case you hadn’t seen this: http://it.slashdot.org/story/10/02/15/1457226/Computer-Engineer-Barbie-Unveiled

    “At the New York Toy fair, Mattel has announced Computer Engineer Barbie, the doll’s 126th career chosen by popular vote. The official announcement (PDF) shows her accessorizing with nerdy glasses, a Bluetooth earpiece, pink laptop, and tee covered in binary digits. The girls-only vote choose “News Anchor Barbie,” which became Barbie’s 125th career, but Mattel decided to add the Computer Engineer version after a viral outpouring of support from female IT professionals.”
