Security bloggers meet up recap

Well the RSA security bloggers meet up 2008 is in the books.  The party was a smashing success!  Before I go any further let me extend thanks to Jennifer Leggio of Fortinet for all of her hard work in putting together a great party.  Also going over and beyond was StillSecure's Sonya Caprio.  The organization of this party went far beyond anything the likes of myself or Martin Mckeay could have done.  On that note though, let me also thank Martin for all of his hard work putting this together as well.  Also Rich Mogul.  The Microsoft guys, Adam Shostack and Jeff Jones.  Also a big thankg from Jeanne from RSA! OK, enough with all of the thank yous.

The party was well attended by a virtual who's who of the security blogging world.  From the biggest to the smallest and everything in between, from here in the US to the farthese reaches of the world, they were all here.  It was an excellent mix of bloggers who blog on behalf of their companies, to individual bloggers. Media type bloggers like Mike Fratto and George Ou to the Paper Ghost.

Martin and Rich Mogul has the virtual aspect covered with live streaming video.  I will have a link up to the video cast as soon as I get it from Martin.  The tweets on twittering were flying as well.

Overall the biggest thing for me was that I was amazed by the turnout from a bunch of people who like to blog.  The security industry is well represented in the blogosphere for sure.  I personally am proud and honored to count many of these people as my friends.

Today believe it or not we are already starting to talk about making next years parties bigger and better. Microsoft has indicated they would like to be involved again.  RSA said they will help.  We have some ideas on letting those of you who participate in blogs by reading and commenting come to the party as well.  Stay tuned for more over the coming months!
