		<description><![CDATA[Summary and Leadership Structure
Started by several local hackers with various interests to help build community.  Founded in April 2022 by T., NotJanice, and Malate.

Meetings
Currently we meet at Z'otz once a month, presentations and products of individual or collective research shared.  Interest in outreach to the IT/dev community to increase infosec awareness and best practices, as well as to the community in general and persons new to infosec or wanting to begin a journey.  Also interested in supporting the efforts of local hackers of all sorts (music, 3d printing, physical security, anywhere people can approach with a hacker mindset to improve their life and community ethically).

Areas of Special Interest
Network security and penetration testing, development (Python, Java, C/C++, ObjectiveC, Swift, more), privacy and surveillance, music and audio hacking, 3d printing, lockpicking, physical bypass and physical penetration testing/security.

Current Projects
Currently working on some RFID research and physical bypass.

Cool Things About Us:
Assorted padlocks to practice locksport on, two small 3d printers, looking into doing community outreach and security awareness, some members mentor 'cybersecurity' students
