T-Shirts & Slogans

Sean says...

I just looked at the ArbSec twitter page and see that they have t-shirts (or will be giving them away next month). Well I like the idea so much that I'm going to steal it :) Once I get a decent design I will print ~10 or so and hand them out at one of the meetings this summer. Design ideas are welcome -- I was thinking of using a night shot of downtown GR (need to find a good one) with the word "GRSec" under. Then maybe a funny saying on the back like "B33r and security FTW!!" or "pWn1ng beer in the name of security"

I think I will bounce the idea to twitter for design suggestions as well!

If you have slogan ideas, post them in the comments here or, better yet, come to April's GRSec meetup and tell us what they are!

Welcome ARBSEC !

If GRSec were ever to have a sister CitySec meetup, it would be the newly-announced ARBSEC. So named because it takes place in Ann Arbor, MI, home to Google's midwest office, my favorite pub, and some second-rate junior college. (Kidding!) Here is the official announcement from Jon Oberheide:

Paul, could you pass on our announcement of ARBSEC to the GRSec folk?
Muchas gracias!

===================================================================

Calling all security professionals in the Ann Arbor area!

Please join us for ARBSEC, an informal monthly meetup of local security professionals. Mingle, network, and talk shop over food and drinks with like-minded folks. Unlike other meetups, you will not be expected to pay dues, "join up", or present a zero-day exploit to attend.

What: ARBSEC 01
When: March 4th, 6:00pm
Where: Bar Louie
