Hang on, but what is Cupán Tae Conf?

Cupán Tae (/kup-awn tay/), or a cup of tea in Irish. Cupán Tae is a brand new experience of events by Coding Grace beginning with a series of virtual events where industry professionals will hear renowned speakers impart their experiences with opportunities to network over a “cup of tea”.

Virtual events? Tell me more.

Cupán Tae will be taking place virtually. Talks will be streamed to our Youtube channel (link will be shared with ticket holders). Q&A and breakout sessions will take place on Coding Grace's Discord server.

Each virtual talk event

• Guest speaker will give a talk for 1 hour.
• Participants freely break up into groups for networking and discussions for 1 hour

The first series will consist of 3 virtual speaking events

Some principles (taken from DDD Open Spaces) for breakout sessions in both events

• Whoever comes are the right people. A session with two people can be as valuable as a session with ten.
• When it starts is the right time to start, and when it’s over, it’s over. And if it’s not over, make plans for continuing the conversation.
• Whatever happens is the only thing that could've happened.
• The Law of Two Feet: If you’re not getting value from a session, or not contributing value, feel free to go somewhere else. This way you can make the most of your time at the event.

Who's the target audience?

Principal Software Engineers, Systems Architects, Senior Devs, Head of Engineering.

"Classic Vulnerabilities" by Patricia Aas

Talk Description

We keep on thinking we are living in the future, but native exploitation has a rich history, and many times the vulnerabilities and exploitation techniques are decades old. We'll look at some of these, how they have surfaced in recent years and how prepared we are today, armed with modern tooling, to find and fix "classic" vulnerabilities.

She has spent her career continuously delivering from the same code-base to a large user base, from working on two browsers (Opera and Vivaldi), to working on embedded telepresence endpoints for Cisco. She is focused on the maintainability and flexibility of software architecture, and how to extend it to provide cutting edge user experiences.

Her focus on the end users has led her work more and more toward privacy and security, and she has recently started her own company, TurtleSec, hoping to contribute positively to the infosec and C++ communities.
