AWS meetups are back in town! This chapter is the 1st one this year and dedicated to **S3.** But we look on the storage from completely different angles: **From Developer's to Penetration and Security perspective.** More info soon, and the meantime we reveal topics, and... 🗓 **Save the Date**: Mark your calendar 🍕 + 🍺 = Let's gather around pizza and beer at **Hevre** or Watch the stream on [YouTube (Link)](https://youtube.com/live/Tx7lmDVTVKo) Hosted by: **Maciej Lelusz**, AWS Hero AWS Community Builders: **Maria Kmita & Pawel Kusinski** 🎤 **Speakers**: 〰️ *„*"Optimizing S3: A Million-Dollar FinOps Journey" **Avihay Tsayeg,** Senior Staff DevOps Engineer, Cloudinary 〰️ *„UnS3cure - Buckets full of holes"* **Paweł Kusiński,** Penetration Tester and Security Researcher 💡 Details about Speakers & Talks💡 **Avihay Tsayeg:** joined Cloudinary five years ago and is a key member of the Infrastructure group, where he leads the FinOps domain. With over 20 years of experience in software development, specializing in the DevOps–FinOps intersection, Avihay brings deep expertise in cloud cost optimization. ☞ will speak about: In his talk, he will share actionable strategies for mastering resource cost management within AWS S3. **Paweł Kusiński:** Penetration Tester and Security Researcher focused on app and cloud security. His work includes penetration tests and infrastructure audits across a wide range of IT projects. Passionate about knowledge sharing, he leads workshops, gives conference talks, teaches at universities, and is an AWS Community Builder. Outside of work, he plays CTFs as a member of justCatTheFish and has an unhealthy habit of buying too many Legos - despite having absolutely no space left for them. ☞ will speak about: Time goes by, AWS keeps adding new security features, and yet year after year, we hear about more data leaks and breaches involving S3 buckets. Data spills by the terabyte, companies apologize, and shortly after, the cycle repeats. How does this keep happening? What is the core problem? How do attackers find their targets? We’ll walk through the most common methods and configuration mistakes - and if time allows, we’ll try to secure everything properly as well! And who knows - maybe we'll uncover a million-dollar leak during the presentation?

**Beer, Pizza and IoT Meetup (DigiCert Special)** We would like to invite you to our next IoT Meetup at Concept Reply at the Reply offices in Munich. **Agenda** 19:00 – Securing the future Internet of Things with ML-KEM and ML-DSA (Talks by Kevin Hilscher and Daniel Stroehmann from DigiCert) 20:00 – Pizza & Networking **Description** Today’s Internet of Things (IoT) relies on a variety of protocols and communications technologies…CoAP, LwM2M, LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, Wi-Fi, Thread … many of which are not quantum-safe. While large-scale quantum computers capable of breaking current encryption aren’t yet available, the concept of “harvest now, decrypt later” is a significant concern. Now that NIST has released final versions of its first three Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standards the race is on to make IoT quantum-safe. **We will explore** * What it takes to make an IoT solution quantum-safe. * The algorithms regulators, such as BSI, are recommending. * How to implement and transmit data between a device and an MQTT broker with TLS 1.3, ML-KEM, and ML-DSA using open-source tools. Please feel free to forward this invite to anybody who might like to take part. PLEASE NOTE: This Meetup will get streamed and recorded so you may get filmed by taking part. Doors open at 7PM for this one due to an event before. This event is exclusively for those with a professional background. Due to limited capacity, we reserve the right to restrict admission. Pizza, beer and seats first come first serve! :)

Join membersrs of the Central Ohio UX and digital design community for a casual monthly breakfast.

Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations. 
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that. We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus. 
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn. 
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play. 
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders… 
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords… 
IMPORTANT: 
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for. 
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.

**Confidence in Bloom: How Creativity Builds Confidence** What happens when creativity becomes an intentional practice? In this month’s Confidence Lab, we’ll gather at **Petals That Inspire: The Flourish Studio** for an evening exploring the connection between creativity and confidence. How making with our hands, engaging our senses, and allowing space for expression can shift how we see ourselves and what we believe is possible. Our featured speaker, **Amanda Lorenzetti**, owner of Petals That Inspire, will share how creativity has shaped her own confidence journey and why creative environments play such a powerful role in well-being, resilience, and personal growth. Drawing from her work leading an experience-driven floral studio and a community-centered workforce development program, Amanda will reflect on creativity as both a personal and collective catalyst. Amanda will also guide us through a **hands-on floral design experience**, creating a fresh arrangement in a wide mouth mason jar. No prior floral experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to engage the process. This evening is an invitation to slow down, create, and reconnect with the part of yourself that grows through care, attention, and imagination. You’ll leave with a floral arrangement to take home, and a deeper understanding of how confidence can be cultivated through creative practices. **Featured Speaker: Amanda Lorenzetti** Amanda Lorenzetti is the owner and founder of [Petals That Inspire](https://www.petalsthatinspire.com/) and The Flourish Studio, a social enterprise florist based in Columbus, Ohio. She brings more than a decade of experience in wedding and event sales, paired with hands-on expertise in floral and event design. Amanda’s connection to the floral industry began early, spending time alongside her godmother, a professional florist on the East Coast. After earning her business degree, she returned to her hometown in Connecticut to work as a floral and event designer, blending creative artistry with strong operational and client-focused skills. In 2020, Amanda returned to the floral industry with a renewed purpose, driven by a desire to build a business rooted in creativity, community impact, and sustainability. During this pivotal time, she founded Petals That Inspire—an innovative floral concept that reimagines the traditional florist model by combining event florals, workshops, and experiential offerings with a mission-centered approach to workforce development. Today, Petals That Inspire is a thriving social enterprise known for its thoughtful design, educational experiences, and commitment to empowering young adults facing barriers to entry in the workforce. Amanda is deeply passionate about building businesses that are both profitable and purpose-driven, and she leverages her strong business acumen to create a scalable & sustainable model that inspires creativity while giving back to the community. **What is Confidence Lab?** Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*
