September Community Night - Paul Dart

Hello friends,

This month we will (finally!) be an entirely standalone community event, not for profit and volunteer run. We have booked a large event space in the Multicultural Hub across from Vic Market. Pizza and drinks are sponsored by TomorrowX and Lemnix!

We can also really use additional volunteers to watch the door, help carry in food and drinks, or help with set up or clean up. Please send us a message if you're able to help.

This event will survive if people are involved and want to make it survive!

Cheers,
Lesley

Introduction to Railways
Railways are one of the few areas of critical infrastructure that actively invites the general public into their facilities, but despite most people having travelled on a train, few people understand the systems that control them.

This talk assumes no prior railway knowledge and will give you an introduction to how train control works and include some of the speaker's anecdotes from working on both the design and cyber specialist sides of the fence for suppliers, clients and consultancies.

Speaker: Paul Dart is a chartered engineer who now focuses on cyber security. He started his career in radio and communications engineering. Now everything is just computers speaking to each other he moved to cyber security and has delivered from boardroom to ballast across a variety of railway systems.
