Hi everyone,
We are hosting a Zeek Workshop in downtown Berkeley next month (September 10-11). We still have space available, so if you are local to the Bay Area or able to make the trip, we’d love to have you join us. The event is free!
This workshop is focused on real-world usage, technical problem-solving, and hands-on training. It’s a great opportunity to share notes with other practitioners, connect with the core team, and see how different organizations are deploying Zeek.
