Can you help? We’re a not-for-profit community open space event (and we’re very cute - just sayin’) so we need all the help we can get with ticket sales and sponsorship. Share this post with your networks, and ask your employer / contacts about sponsorship or buying tickets as brilliant training opportunities for employees.
Have you heard of the SoCraTes events? These are software crafting unconferences / open spaces that happen across the world, in beautiful surroundings and with lovely people. So if you’re making plans for 2026 yet, now’s the time to brighten up your February and give yourself something to look forward to...

This year, we welcome @romeu as our facilitator for the Open Space! A familiar face in software crafters' circles, he'll want to code with us all :D
As a facilitator, he'll explain how we self-organise and guide us through 2+ days of creating and enjoying sessions.
If you're as keen as us to experience what that'll be like: registration is currently open 🎊 .
We meet between the 18th - 21st June in Oxfordshire (UK).

@lisihocke will discuss how to make things a bit more secure than yesterday every day, in her session "How to create a secure development lifecycle" at #SoCraTesUK 's training day on 18th June.
A great opportunity to up your security game, whether you're starting on the journey or already a practitioner.
Get your tickets for the training day itself and consider staying for the whole
conference to get maximum benefit and enjoyment!
