December 21, 2008 Write a Comment Events

Soft launching of DefconPH tagged as BeerTalk 1 was successfully held at Handuraw in Gorordo Avenue, Cebu city yesterday afternoon.

For the uninitiated, DefconPH is the Philippine Information Security Convention is the local equivalent of the Defcon Group International and is registered as DC6332.

Start of the event was delayed by about an hour and a half due to the inavailability of electricity in the area. And when the power went back, setting up the presentation tools also took time. The gods were playing funny.

Introduction of members kicked started the event. (Three fellow CBS members where there: Paul, Aileen, Gerry). Then Dax/Semprix, event’s speaker, initiated the talk. Beer and pizza were also made available in the table. Not much really was discussed but it’s the soft launching, man. The actual con will be June next year and it’ll still be held in Cebu so hat tip to the organizers for making it accessible to Cebuanos. There are plans of doing Beer Talk 2 in Manila but nothing has been made official yet so to our friends in there, be on the watch for announcements!

Well, see you guys soon and much more good stuff will be shared. Big thanks to Ederts and Dax for bringing this home!
