Sorry all! The June event just didn't happen.
Communication has been a big problem, we have no easy way of communicating with each other to plan events. So, I have been working on a better way. Eventually I hope to end up at securitylinkup.com, but in the meantime I have created a discussion forum on Citysec at http://citysec.org/forums/1/topics/44. If you go to this link and sign-up, you can click on "Monitor Topic" and you will be informed of any discussions in the group.
As for the next get together...I am proposing Friday September 14th. This is just ahead of the local CSI Services conference ForenSec Canada 2007 so their may be a guest available.
Please send me an email if you have any ideas on venue.

We have a logo!!
Everybody knows that all successful groups need a great logo. So until someone comes up with something better, here is my logo.
I think it sums up all the criteria. A white hat with a definite prairie character...but not too white...everybody knows that to be an effective whitehat you have to be a little grey...and of course an I heart Regina button.
Hope you like it!

Reminder: Inaugural event Friday
Just a reminder...the inaugural regina.whitehats.ca chapter get together is this Friday, April 13th at 7:00 PM at O'Hanlon's pub. I am hoping for a good turnout.
As an aside, I noticed that this event got some press in the Canadian Information Security Newsletter put out by Robert Beggs at Digital Defence. Thanks Robert!
See you all Friday!

Clarification
I have been asked by a couple of people to clarify the criteria. The post said:
" But I warn you, even though we will all check our certifications at the door, I am hoping to have presentations at these meetings aimed at people who perform hands-on operational security work. If you are a security novice or spend your days writing policy, this group may not be for you."
Some of my favorite people are policy writers with a good technical background, so let's modify the criteria a little.
If someone starts talking geek and you immediately zone out and go to sleep, then this is the wrong crowd for you. If on the other hand you immediately lean closer, and ask for more information, then you're in the right place.
Hope this helps!

Welcome to Regina Whitehats!
This is the inaugural post for an exciting new security group in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. Over the next few weeks I hope to lay the groundwork for a regular get together of security practitioners in this fine city. This group will be ala Richard Betjlich's NovaSec, and Matasano's Chisec
The principle is simple..."We find a place to meet, we pick a time, and we talk security tech." The major goal is to provide an informal vehicle for security networking in the Regina area. Meetings are open to all in Regina and vicinity with an interest in information security. But I warn you, even though we will all check our certifications at the door, I am hoping to have presentations at these meetings aimed at people who perform hands-on operational security work. If you are a security novice or spend your days writing policy, this group may not be for you.
The group will be a chapter of whitehats.ca hopefully someday having its own mailing list and website. But for now let's start with baby steps. I would like to hold the first meeting in April. For this first meeting probably just a nice quiet place to sit and talk, maybe have few brews. If you have any suggestions please contact me by leaving comments below or emailing me.
