Editorial 3/2025: Job seeking

A theme in local information security events such as SecKC and KC2600 is job hunting.  I have recommended several books and I figured I will put these online for people.  Also I would welcome this as a meeting topic, what are the top books you have read recently that have real value or meaning.

March 2025 KC 2600 meeting

 We approach march which is associated with celebrations, madness and ide's.  Hop on down to Oak Park Mall Barnes and Noble at 6-7pm for a cup of joe and some good conversation on infosec, hacking and current events.

February 2025

 The January meetup was a success and I'm glad every one had a good time!.

This February the 7th (First Friday of February) we will meet at the same time (6pm) at the Oak Park Mall Barnes and Noble Coffee shop.

All people are welcome and please bring your info sec stories, hobbies and other technology gossip!

January 2025 KC2600

 Hey gang, I will be out of town for this one!  Please stop by and meet up with your fellow hackers for the first meeting of the new year.

Open discussion on who we are

Something that has been asked is what we are about.  The 2600 magazine is more of a topical anchor which playfully embodies who we are.  But I would agree that the magazine is a hot mess and its hard to distill that message down into a good one liner answer.

In a nutshell this is what this meeting stands for:

Mission:

To empower and educate individuals about the importance of information freedom, ethical hacking, and responsible use of technology.

Vision:

We envision the world where information is freely accessible, and technology is used to enhance human potential and protect individual rights.

This is just a place where any one can stop by and share their thoughts on those matters.  That being said violent rhetoric or personal insults or behavior that disrupts this mission or does not observe the policies set by our venue isn't welcome.  This is a public forum and it is our intent to make this a chill and respectful place to talk and share our stories.

 

December 2024 Meeting

 Happy holidays all!

We will be meeting at the Oak Park Mall in Overland Park Kansas at 6pm.

Bring your presents, projects, stories or just yourselves!

See you there!
