Technical Offsite 2013

It’s that time of year again. Snow. And technical planning meetings off site.

The brain trust of Cigital gathered at Coal Stove Sink to hash out the future of software security.

We started day one with an inspirational greeting from Jim Routh.

Scott and Sammy bright and early in the morning.

Del, Mike, virtual Paco, and, um, Scott contemplate Architecture Analysis.

jOHN and Scott (?!) conduct the Principals Symphony.

Ye Olde Euro Paco gives a presentation remotely from London as, you guessed it, Scott (!!) tinkers with the iPad volume control.

Scott gets around.

We tried setting up the expensive Polycom videoconferencing system for poor Passportless Paco trapped in London. Sadly, it seems that Polycom can’t deal with a double NAT’ed system. After the local ISP said “Huh?” when we asked about forwarding various TCP ports, we gave up and switched to FaceTime. Apple can do it automatically.

Who is this London presence you ask?
