We love that several of the BSides Leeds and other UK folks are helping with volunteering at Noob Village in DefCon this year. @grommoss.bsky.social 's on the No Stupid Questions desk with @ladycyberrosie.bsky.social who's also on a panel with our @jaysonstreet.bsky.social & @tib3rius.bsky.social

Look for folks in these cool pink vests (not goons, just friendly volunteers for our community happy to answer questions).

Some not very good photos from @bsidesleeds.bsky.social

It was lovely to see so many people after such a long time, and to give @mintynet.com IRL ((hugs)) rather than virtual.

Thanks again to the organisers, volunteers, speakers, and sponsors for making this fantastic event happen. Met lots of wonderful people (new and old), saw some great talks, and had a load of interesting chats. If you've never been to a BSides, get yourself down to one, they are excellent events.

Morning coffee in hand as normality returns after another great @bsidesleeds.bsky.social

Theme of closing panel discussions was Community - for me, encapsulated by meeting Mr Awkward Hugs himself @jaysonstreet.bsky.social IRL ~2 decades after sharing random various messages in online forums

Most of the tired and emotional organisers doing the closing remarks at the end of the day.

Panel of lovely humans discussing all things cyber.

3 very happy people in green volunteer tshirts with ice creams.

Had an awesome time volunteering at @bsidesleeds.bsky.social yesterday. Managed to catch most of @jaysonstreet.bsky.social brilliant keynote, and thanks to the incredible @ministraitor.bsky.social I can catch up on what I missed later.

The rest of the day is a heart swelling blur. 🥰

YouTube video by NonCompete The Neighborhood Manifesto: the Radical Kindness of Mr. Rogers

If you're coming to BSides Leeds on Sat and you grew up in the UK where your only access to PBS Childrens TV was 10 year old re-runs of Sesame Street and have little idea who Mr Rogers is, then I urge you to spend 10 mins watching this

All will make sense on the day
