**\*\* NEW VENUE \*\*** Room 080.02.002 at RMIT (Building 80) - 445 Swanston St, Melbourne **\*\* NEW VENUE \*\*** **How Bad Terraform Reaches Prod: Building Azure Guardrails That Actually Work** - **@Maple** Terraform makes it easy to ship cloud changes fast, including the risky ones. This talk is a hands-on walkthrough of a small Azure lab where I intentionally introduce common "oops" changes (public exposure, missing tags, unsafe configs) and show how they slip through a typical IaC workflow unless you build real guardrails. **"Do not obey in advance" - Cybersecurity in the Fight Against Techno-Authoritarianism - @Mendas** Cybersecurity protects free speech and human rights. It plays an important role in resisting authoritarian regimes and protecting democratic freedoms. This talk discusses how encryption, anonymity tools, and similar technologies can help activists, journalists, and citizens evade state surveillance and censorship. Discussion highlights how digital resistance strategies can be used to counter oppression. **Streaming** If you can't attend the event in person the talks will be streamed in the "ruxmon-stream" voice channel in the Ruxcon Discord in the day of the event!

Hi all! We are looking to build a community here, so if you interest is just to get into coding, please come along and we can help out - all levels and interests are more than welcome. All levels of coding are welcome! We can continue doing some basic coding using HTML, CSS, and maybe some JS if we are feeling up to it (I'll teach if people are interested). Usually there will be some people around to help anyone with issues. We are also holding these sessions for anyone to come along and ask questions about the course. We know it's a big decision and a lot of money, and we are keen to give you as much information as you need to make the right call. https://liskov.dev We are offering some more structured content for anyone interested: ### CV advice Are you currently applying for jobs? Come along to get some advice on: * Resume * Cover letters * Portfolio * Code challenges * Interviews ### Build and deploy your first webpage I What is HTML and how does it work? In this session we’ll: * Install a code editor * Generate an HTML document * Learn how the browser understands markup * Add some content and styling * Deploy your basic webpage to the world! (Deploy is via drag and drop to Netlify) ### Build and deploy your first webpage II Coming in future weeks. Depends on the progress we make. ### Bootcamp info session Thinking about doing Liskov bootcamp? Come along to meet Matt and get all your questions answered. ### Q and A with a former student Meet a former student now working as a developer. Ask them anything! If we get a few starters we'll get a few ex-students along for a chat. ### Types of career paths/jobs in the IT industry For people who are thinking of changing careers or moving to an adjacent/related role in IT. Apparently there are event people who use UX design as a stepping stone to a programming career (seems like a long and windy road though). These will occur at least once a fortnight, so if you miss one you can get to the next one - the schedule will be updated on the site, and here. Here's a list of some of the activities that we could play around with if there are a few people there (will depending on timing and attendance): * Basics of getting into coding (Beginners HTML, CSS, JS) * Coding in [Rooms.xyz](http://rooms.xyz/) * Q and A * BYO issues (we solve their problems if we can) * Build a webpage in quick time * Notion tutorial * SpaceTeam * What are the jobs and industries that these courses lead to (with examples)? Come and have a chat! The Liskov Team

Join a group of Fine Diners at the ‘Gluttonous Duck’ Melbourne Food And Wine Festival lunchtime event. You will enjoy a three-course degustation of Aurum Poultry duck, served with all the trimmings. Relax with a drink on arrival in a sun-drenched dining room, then experience the many different ways to prepare a duck and the best ways to eat it. A long lunch and a whole duck - what could be better? This MFWF event is being held on Sun 29 March 12:30pm at RESIDENCE at The Potter, 815 Swanston St, Parkville. I’ve booked for 8 Fine Diners to join ‘Gluttonous Duck’ at $90 per person (ticket includes a three-course duck lunch with a drink on arrival). 
Join the waitlist to express interest. Once I have names in the waitlist, I’ll send you a ‘Meetup Message’ to confirm you have a spot and how to pay. You’ll need to send me $90 to secure your place as this is a prepaid event and tickets have already been purchased in full. Once paid I’ll move you from the waitlist to going. Please check that you don’t have your settings blocking messages; if I can’t contact you I’ll have to move on to the next person. Also if you don’t respond to my message within 3 days, I’ll let you know that I’m offering the seat to the next person on the waitlist. 
Thanks and bring on the duck!

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
