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!
Time is running out ⏰ on Elbsides CfP - make sure you don't miss the deadline to submit until tomorrow, evening - Friday, March 20th.

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
