Concious Decisions

I have made some concious decisions around following items

• ACM sessions are not covered as even the event proceedings are behind paywall
• IEEE also would fall under same bucket of paywalled content
• Local regional chapter level events like owasp or null chapter proceedings are not covered
• No profile data to be listed on website to avoid overhead on data gathering process
• Workshops or trainings are not considered in this listing. Multiple reason listed below, hard to objectively consider one when rejecting others so entire class is not kept on website
  • closed door events
  • no requirement to publish content even if its free event
