We're celebrating Global Accessibility Awareness Day! Accessible design helps everyone. We need access to technology and infrastructure also when we're injured, when we're low on mental capacity, when we're in a crisis situation.

Today, we're encouraging you to learn one thing about accessibility that you didn't know before. 1/3

Hi, I volunteered for the position of the beloved Open Security Conference mascot. A perfect candidate right from the start, with my name literally being the abbreviated conference name. My (not so) secret dream is to have little plush monkey versions of themself offered as conference swag! I'm into all things security. My team’s clearly purple, just like my bright eyes. I'm frequently seen hugging a flame - the symbol for unconference formats like Open Space.

Did you know that the Open Security Conference originated at the SoCraTes conference? If you didn't, now you know. 💡 Which makes us even happier to announce that we officially partnered up with @SoCraTes_Conf@mastodon.social! 🤩

We can whole-heartedly recommend our fellow open space conference for everyone interested in tech: https://www.socrates-conference.de/

You can still apply for joining #socrates26 this year - it'll be full of inspiration with a deep sense of community. 💜

Today is a special day again. Today is Girls'Day.

We all are part of a social system, that influences our decisions and beliefs or form gender roles.

Girls'Day encourages the surroundings of young women – i.e. families, school, media and employers – to participate in the campaign and change their common attitudes towards vocational orientation. Today is Girls'Day in Germany but many other countries around the world have campaigns with this goal.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month.

A good reminder that mental health is not always visible, but it is always part of our overall well being. It can show up in different ways, and it is often easy to overlook, both in ourselves and in others.

Taking care of it requires intention. That can mean learning more, checking in with ourselves, or creating space where others feel safe to speak openly.

Today is world password day 🔑

Passwords have been used since ancient times and protect humans and assets. But computers get more powerful and adversaries trickier while our brains can't handle the increasing number of long passwords.
Therefore there are helpers and alternatives.
- Use unique and random passwords with password managers
- Use Multi Factor Authentication
- Try passkeys

@DasLampe@chaos.social Tickets are still available! :) That being said, not too many are left anymore for #osco26. As capacity is limited, tickets are distributed first come first serve. We can't tell how fast or slow the last ones will go, so we'd encourage you to act rather sooner than later. Once all tickets are gone, we'll open a waiting list - in case any registrant has to cancel that'll be the last chance to get a spot. We hope this helps you make a decision :) [lisi]
