Cloud Security Office Hours
Mar 13, 2024 4:20 am
Howdy Folks,
Wow. Wow wow wow. Excuse my french but HOLY SHIT.
I made a post on Reddit and somehow we gained a TON of new members. Last week I was wondering when we might crest 1,000 members, and in one day we shot past 1,250 members. Over 335 new members in one day.
So, the first thing I want to say is WELCOME to the new members. I think you'll find this community to be the most open and supportive you've ever found. I hope we see you on our Zooms.
This week we're going to have Don MqQueen leading the session and going over the incredible cloud project that the teams are working on. But before that starts, I'll give everybody a chance to introduce themselves.
If it will be your first session with us please don't be shy!

For those of you who are new to Office Hours, we invite anybody to join, but I do ask that everyone follow a few guidelines.
- Please be respectful. There will be people from all knowledge levels, and we want to encourage any and all participation.
- THERE ARE NO DUMB QUESTIONS. If you are thinking it, so is somebody else. Be the one to ask! Please feel free to ask about anything that you think is related to Cloud Security. Go ahead and speak up! It helps everybody.
- Anybody is welcome to comment or ask or respond to a question. Most especially, when questions are asked! Speak up or put something in chat, whatever you are comfortable with. If you see or hear a question and want to speak up, please do so! Use the Raise Hand function on Zoom and I promise we'll call on you.
- This is a non-compete space for all vendors (this is important). We are all here to learn and share. This is not about products. But you might hear about products as it's the nature of our industry. Opinions are welcome, but we are not here to pitch anything or disparage any vendor.
As always, we do not use any information from these sessions for marketing purposes, and that’s a promise.
OK... Zoom details:
Cloud Security Office Hours is a weekly Zoom held every Friday at 7:00 AM Pacific, 10:00 AM Eastern (2:00 PM, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC))
Note: This zoom link will change very rarely. You can put this in your calendar as a repeating occurrence and it should work going forward. I will send a special message if the Zoom link ever changes.
The Zoom link is:

Please spread the word and invite ANYBODY you think would be interested in learning or contributing to the discussions! The absolute best way to invite someone is to send them to the registration form on our mail server: https://sendfox.com/CSOH
Also, don't forget we also have our very own Mastodon instance. Think of Mastodon like Twitter without tracking or ads. Through the magic of federation, our Mastodon is linked up with all the other Mastodon instances and you can reach any of them from ours, and ours from anywhere else.
We also have a private Telegram channel for everybody now. If you want to join our group and discussions, here is the invite: https://t.me/+Ht22n3iTuOlmY2Yx
Once again, THANK YOU, and I’ll see you on the next Zoom!
Best regards,
Shawn
Do you want to support Cloud Security Office Hours?
I have been asked about this a lot. We're not going to disappear without donations, but it does make it possible to do things like Mastodon, mailing lists, web site, postage for prizes, etc. We accept donations of any amount to cover expenses at https://paypal.me/cloudsec but please don't feel obligated in any way. If you're better off spending your money on a certification, by all means do that instead. We'll be fine!
