We're delighted to have two fantastic speakers join us this month: Dan Moore from FusionAuth, and prolific open source contributor and maintainer Maciej Mensfeld.
== Maciej Mensfeld ==
** OSS Supply Chain Security for Ruby **
Maciej is a software architect and engineer working with http://castle.io. He has experience with a wide variety of business applications built using multiple Ruby frameworks.
He's particularly interested in code quality and Ruby-based applications security.
He's an active OSS contributor and maintainer of various projects including Karafka, dry-rb libraries and Bundler-Security project.
It's wonderful Maciej can share some of his experience, wisdom and knowledge with us this month, and there's a good chance you've used code Maciej has written, so it's also a chance to say thank you :).
== Dan Moore ==

Dan Moore is a developer advocate for FusionAuth. He's been using Ruby and Rails off and on since 2015. A former CTO, engineering manager and longtime developer, he's been writing software for (checks watch) over 20 years.
What is a JSON Web Token (JWT) and why do you care? JWTs are a stateless, standardized way to represent user data. This talk will discuss why JWTs matter and the nuts and bolts of JWTs. We'll also briefly discuss how you might use a JWT in your Rails application.
