Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration! This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. I've been hardware hacking a See N Say to make it say whatever I want - while the project is in progress still, it should be working by this meetup! I'll bring it for demo. [See N Say Project](https://github.com/cdeever/esp32-see-n-say) While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.

Monday December 29th at 6PM we'll be meeting up dinner at the Pies & Pints at Easton. Feel free to bring guests. Sandwiches run about $15 and large pizzas run $20-30.

Our monthly PHP meetup. A virtual shindig courtesy of Zoom. Check back here for the details around 6:15 pm

**Lessons from npm's Dark Side: These Are Not the Packages You're Looking For** Malware is all about scale and time: How can I hit the most people in the shortest time? But not all ecosystems are equally vulnerable. The JavaScript ecosystem, particularly its package manager npm, is arguably the most vulnerable to supply chain malware attacks. And with JavaScript being the language of the web, this is a problem that impacts an estimated 27.4 million developers. So what are we to do? In this session learn about: * Why attackers target JavaScript/npm * A case study of 5 attacks * Whether we can trust maintainers to adopt security controls (research!) * What you can do to protect yourself and your company from malware **What to Expect** * Introductions and Updates on chapter events and engagement ideas * Primary presentation * Network with fellow professionals who care about building and securing great software. * **Food & Drink provided for in-person attendees!
