What we’re about
The BEAM User Group is a virtual group bringing together Erlang, Elixir, Gleam and other BEAM tech enthusiasts around the world.
We are interested in sharing our knowledge and meeting people who share similar interests. We have talks, networking opportunities and end the evenings in themed rooms where we can have discussions on topics which interest us, learning, sharing and inspiring.
The group is open to Erlang and Elixir beginners and seasoned developers alike, as well as enthusiasts of any other BEAM languages. Are you new to the Erlang Ecosystem? Erlang and Elixir newbies and the BEAM-curious, join us and learn what it's all about!
Please note, we want our virtual Meetups to be a fun, inclusive space for anyone interested in the BEAM. To help us achieve this we ask that you use your real name and photo when asking to join the group.

## SAFE and OIDCC
Presented by: Jonatan Männchen – CISO at Erlang Ecosystem Foundation
Moderated by: Dali Khechine – SAFE team at Erlang SolutionsLink to talk here: https://www.erlang-solutions.com/webinars/safe-and-oidcc/
#### About this talk
In part one of our webinar series with Jonatan Männchen, he reflects on his experience working with the SAFE team at Erlang Solutions to audit a security-focused OpenID Connect client library. The discussion highlights the role of independent reviews in building trust around open source projects, particularly those handling sensitive identity and authentication tasks.
Jonatan shares how the SAFE audit process helped validate the library’s design, identify a subtle issue, and improve the implementation. He also offers insights into responsible vulnerability disclosure and the value of taking a proactive approach to security in the BEAM ecosystem.
This session is especially relevant for developers working on authentication, open standards, or secure infrastructure within Erlang and Elixir.#### What you’ll learn:
- How SAFE supports secure development through expert audit and review
- How Jonatan addressed a potential vulnerability found during the audit
- Why the process led to a cleaner and more thoughtful design
- The role of collaboration in building safer systems in the BEAM ecosystem
