** Important announcement from the international flamingo desk: ** I, Sasha the Dancing Flamingo, have officially become a Friend of BSides Porto. * Was this financially responsible? Unclear. * Do I have a bank account? Also unclear. * Did I confidently tell Kat I would “pay her back later”? Absolutely. Look, sometimes community support requires vision, feathers, and a complete misunderstanding of modern banking systems. BSides events are built by volunteers, weirdos, hackers, builders, speakers, village goblins, hallway-track philosophers, and the occasional highly qualified flamingo. Supporting BSidesPorto means supporting the kind of security community where people show up, learn things, share stories, make connections, and maybe leave slightly more dangerous to poorly configured infrastructure. @rnbwkat says I need a “budget.” I say I need “strategic feather allocation.” See you at #BSidesPorto. I’ll be the one pretending sponsorship is a perfectly normal flamingo activity. #cybersecurity #Infosec #SashaTheFlamingo
