How many of you are free this morning at 10.00am? The idea is a get-together for coders at the Carnegie-Mellon campus to talk about security. Seems like a smart plan, but I won't be going because I've got work commitments. Maybe next time. The flyer doesn't say where in CMU to meet - I guess it will be signposted. Alternatively, contact Omar Sherin, osherin at qcert.org, for more details (mobile: 661 0746). --nigel -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

My name is Yazan and I currently live in Al khor community. I am 14 years old and I just started to program in C and some pascal. I have been looking for lectures and activities that people in Qatar(people who are interested in programming/computer science) participate in, since I am dying to find one that I can go to. I have been looking in many places although I haven't found any that does what I want. Despite my age, I still want to be in one of those lectures/meetings. Traveling to Doha to participate in one of the meetings isn't much of a problem, but I am not sure if I would be allowed in. Can someone please provide me with full information on if I could come? I don't program in Perl though, but I still want to come. EDIT: Oh uh, I just found Omar's e-mail and I think I will contact him for more details.

Yazan It's good to see someone on the list who's just starting out with their programming. Next week, there's a conference at the Ritz Carlton being hosted by Qatar Science and Technology Park. The details are here: http://www.qstp.org.qa/output/page44.asp If you can get the time off school, it would be worthwhile going to see Steve Wozniak on Wednesday morning. Send an email to events at qstp.org.qa asking to be put on the list of invitees. You are exactly the kind of person they are trying to encourage, so I would think they'll be overjoyed to get your email. --Nigel p.s. I went along to the OWASP meeting with a couple of other people. There was an introduction by a Q-CERT guy and a talk by Omar. Nothing technical - just an introduction to OWASP's activities and general stuff about the importance of security. About 30 people turned up, including coders from QP, Al Jazeera, QF and the universities. Omar suggested future meetings might occur monthly or quarterly, with a technical focus for each meeting. For instance, a meeting might concentrate on validation of user input, or how to prevent session hijacking or cross-site scripting attacks. It'll be interesting to see whether OWASP is successful. I hope it becomes more popular, as Qatar is lacking a regular meeting of programmers. However, I worry whether the setting up of the group is just another tick-box for Q-CERT. At the beginning of last year, they launched an Information Security Forum which was going to meet every two months -- I think they've had two or three meetings. Still, maybe this will be different.

Unfortunately, I couldn't go to the conference. Reason: School. So, anyone had the opportunity to go?? How was it??
