We have a new partner and a special recommendation for you: The Software Engineering Camp (SWEC) is an open space conference on all things software engineering and craftship! 🤩
Since 2016 the @swec provides the opportunity to learn, socialize and grow with a diverse community of techies and nerds. They want to make the world a better place. They SWEC to differ, because code does not make a difference – but we all do!
When we talk about the Open Security Conference, people often hear of the #OpenSpace format for the first time. If that's you, learn more about it here: https://opensecurityconference.org/open-space/ 💡
We also offer keynotes - the first is already confirmed! 🤩

Today is the International Women's Day.
Let's be mindful that inequality and oppression do not stop with women. They also affect other underrepresented groups and many people belong to more than one of them.
This is a reminder that building inclusive environments in tech and cyber security still requires intention, support and action. 1/2

Today we are going to play Potato Pirates 2 - Enter the Spudnet at work.
It's a fun board game with a little bit of cyber security mixed in.
It's a test run. I want to play that at the girls day this year. The girls (and boys) day is a special day in Germany, there kids are encouraged to experience jobs, that are biased towards certain gender. For example information technology or child care.
This is the third year my employer participates and offers a broad experience of jobs in computer science. PO, Scrum master, cyber security, developer.
So far we got very positive feedback from the young people and I hope that we can reduce the gatekeeping in these jobs.
If you are a little bit older and want to play that game or learn more about cyber security without previous experience, maybe the @OSCo is something for you.
It's an un-conference in the open space format focused on cyber security. I'm one of the organizers and our goal is to reduce gatekeeping and to create a safe space for everyone, regardless of experience, age, gender, religion, skin colour or disability.
The open security conference 2026 is scheduled for 5-8 November 2026 in the SeminarZentrum Rückersbach (Germany):

Do you have a training budget? How about joining the Open Security Conference this year? 😉
