FWIW... a bit more then 10 1/2 years ago I asked some people on twitter I did not know if I could help to make this bsides thing happen aside to ccc congress in hamburg, because congress had more good submissions for the security track then they could host.I was so scared, about all of it. But I wanted to help to make it happen, and I did. And it was one of the better things I did in my life because It started some development I could not have imagined at the time.
Lots of stuff changed over the years, the core people, the label, I changed, and so on... had the possibility to meet many interesting people over the years
It's called #elbsides by now, it's not parallel to ccc anymore for years, it's even at a different time of the year.
Tomorrow we will have another episode loaded with super interesting talks. We ware sold out since yesterday. ~180 seats in hall. It kind of blews my mind.
now and tomorrow
