In March 2003, Balwant started a study group on Penetration Testing in Mumbai, India. A message was posted on securityfocus PenTest list regarding this and thus a yahoo group we created for this group and initially meeting were held in Mumbai. In July 2003 the PenTest study groups Madrid, Spain meeting was announced. Balwnat met group member Alejandro Barrera in Madrid to find out a venue. Alejandro and Balwant did some and during this a message was posted to Argo hacking list. After this two more security specialists Vicente Aceituno and Rafael Ausejo met Alejandro and Balwant together. And finally they come to the name FIST. The FIST Conference stands for First Improvised Security Testing Conference, as we felt little fast-paced self-organizing way of finding the speakers, the venue and audience. As a plus, it doesnt feel so bad when there is a small mishap in an improvised event! Following conferences are known as FIST Conference Month/Place Edition. The First stands for the first of this kind, thats why there are no Second of Third Improvised Security Conferences. - Who is the audience? Anyone willing to learn about Information Security. - How much does it cost to attend? Nothing, its a free event. - Can I get a certificate for assistance? That depends on the committee and the sponsor. - Is there any prize or contest? We are thinking on giving an award for the best presentation of every year, but nothing is set-up as yet. - Can I take photos or film? As long as it doesnt interfere with the presentation. - Do you Webcast the conference? That depends on the sponsor. - How can I help? · Promote the event. · Help the committee. · Become a speaker. · Become a member of your citys committee. · Become a sponsor. Committee Members - I want to organize a FIST conference in my city, what do i have to do? Create your own committee. - What are a FIST Committee duties? Normally is a good idea to split responsibilities between committee members: · Find suitable venue. · Find volunteer speakers. Help them to tune the presentations quality and length to make the conference a pleasant experience for everyone. Make a presentation template available when possible. · Promote the event. · Be prepared to be main or backup speakers. · Update information on the events to be maintained by the group website Webmaster saman007uk at oddpost dot com. · Coordinate with the international committee. - What is supposed to be a Backup Speaker? Being a backup speaker means that you should be prepared to substitute a main speaker for any reason. In case someone drops or you don't get enough speakers, you should present your own speech. - How can I find speakers ? Contact experts that you know or you meet in this or other events. Frequently the speakers for the next edition contact the committee during the very FIST conference. - I have to choose a date for my FIST... is there any restriction? The date for the conference depends on the sponsor/speaker availability and audience convenience. But we are trying to held it every two months, the last Friday or Saturday of the month. - Is it necessary to have a sponsor? No if you can get all the resources (room, beamer, water, sound system) by yourself. Anyway, sponsors can help in many ways like providing a suitable place for the conference, material resources and promotion of the event. - Is there any Conference Banner Template? Write a mail to balwant at mahindrabt dot com and get it, soon it would be available at group WebSite - I don't know how to promote the event, what can I do? You can try posting the conference banner to newspapers, magazines related to technology, blogs, Security Portals, Universities and mailing lists. You can prepare a poster too. - What are the important conference details to give? · Place. · How to get there. · Registration requirements. · Date and time. · Program. · Duration. · Web link for more info. - How does the event develop? Normally the sponsor presents the FIST committee, The FIST representative presents the speakers, then the speakers speak (there might be a short break), and finally the sponsor and the FIST committee close the event. Don t forget to thank the sponsor and the speakers. - Is registration needed? This is a sponsors decision. Its often enough to show up, but a simple registration is used sometimes. Speakers - I want to be a speaker, what should I do? Contact a FIST committee. To be a speaker means to have something interesting to say in the field of penetration testing or information security in general. Some guidelines: · The speaker should be the author of the presentations, but to speak on someone else work is ok, as long as you ask permission and give credit where credit is due. · Presentations should be licensed GPL-FDL or Open Content License. The presentations will be made available through group WebSite after the conference is held. · Be at the conference room early. Bring your presentation with you in at least two different removable media (floppy and CD for example). Dont bring your own laptop as using differents computers with a beamer is proven to the troublesome. · Slides take two to two minutes and a half. Take this into account when preparing the presentation and fitting it into your time frame. · Be as technical as you like. This a free and open event, but that doesnt mean that presentations need to be understood for people without knowledge of the subject matter. - I'm going to prepare a speech. Which language should I use?, Is there any language restriction for my presentation? You can give the speech in the language of your choice, but your slides must be in English for the widest possible dissemination after the event. - Where can I get the Presentation Template? You can download the presentation template from OISSG page. http://www.oissg.org/templates/ Sponsors - I want to be a sponsor, what can I do? To be a sponsor means to provide some or all of: · A conference room. · Beamer. · Laptop. · Internet connection. · Webcast of the conference. · Conference promotion. · Attendance registry. · Some water for the speakers. Thanking you.
