Zeek event at CERN

We will have a workshop at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland on March 25-26th 2026. Planning for this is proceeding and we will have more information forthcoming soon.

Encouraging more community driven content from the Zeek user-side

User stories are very helpful, both for the Zeek project itself and the community. We discussed how to enable this, how to platform user-stories better, and what kind of content community members could share about using Zeek.

Topic ideas included:

  • What kind of hardware is used
  • Threat-hunting tips
  • Anything that shows how and what people are using Zeek for

Look back at threads on Slack, and see if some of them would make sense to cnvert into videos/text-posts, etc.
This has the additional advantage of highlighting interesting conversations on Slack – content there is hard to search for and can easily get lost.

We also had a short discussion about what motivates people to contribute to a community in general, and to the Zeek community in specific.
