Metrics: Sept 23rd

If all goes well, the meeting tomorrow should include a presentation on metrics, answering question of "what, how, and why".

Again, the meeting is at The Brass Ring, 4pm. When you walk in, go to the left, and up to a 2nd level, or a gallery of sorts.

Given the bizarre problems I had with notifications, I might grab people who show up there, and get a table outside. It will be quite obvious and easy to find, I think...

Meeting - Brass Ring, Tuesday, Sept 23rd, 4pm

Hi all,

after a short break, I would like to invite you to Brass Ring, in about two weeks for a new and improved MadSec meeting. The major part of the improvement plan are presentations, and I will deliver the first one, which (if all goes well) will cover selection and use of metrics in IT in general, and security in particular.

Time is a bit of an experiment, based on the feedback I got. I will count votes against it, so drop me a line if late night is a much better fit.

Brass Ring should offer reasonably secluded and quiet venue, but that theory needs some testing. I will likely be testing it on the 16th, along with assorted local IT types. Feel free to drop by if you feel like it (just confirm first please).

Meeting survey

Please help me in scheduling the meeting, and fill out a short survey.

Next meeting soon

I am scouting downtown area for a suitable meeting venue. Ideas? It needs to be reasonably quiet, have tables, not require reservations.

While Angelic was ideal, they are closed-for-good this time.

BTW: go to UW's Lockdown 2008. The selection of topics and speakers is well worth $100. I would be there but UWEBC's IT Security Peer Group meeting holds it's monthly meeting at the same time (topic: Identity Management: Assurance, Provisioning, Directories). Choices.. Choices.. Choices..
