[DISIG-cabal] Supporting Tim & Rachel ...

[Brendan Murray]

The other isigs don't use it. Maybe cos they have critical mass. There's
more 'geek social' in Auckland and Wellington, even Hamilton, than there is
down here.

CodeCraft problem is a timing cockup and an opportunist. Whether he's an
evil opportunist is subjective.

ISIG, OWASP both should have presence. We liked the idea of monthly, that's
what the other ISIGs do,  This year was plague, and for me the first couple
of months of the year were are a bit of a blur so I was far less focused.

Do we want to re-think format? Ak and Wn use a pub, with a presentation
space. Did Petridish not offer the right ambience? Ombrelltos had bad
layout. The new larger space at the Dish Cafe might work for us, if it's
open late enough?

I guess we could link with CodeCraft --- how big is it? Do we just go along
to CodeCraftV2 for a while and feel it out? Weren't Tim/Rachel looking a
bit at getting out of running it and they're more focused now that they've
been pirated?

Let's see if they want to form a new group with perhaps a wider tech spec, if they want some infosec components that we could provide, and if they want to ride in with some OWASP link to the Training Day that John DiLeo is keen on ...
