Spent the last two days in the city of dragons, Krakow, for [BSides Krakow 2026](https://bsideskrakow.pl/). One of the greenest, cleanest cities with preserved heritage, combined with a modern take on life, I have ever been to. Loved how many people swarm the old center and the positive energy. Things here have changed a lot for the better in the past decade. 

Awesome cybersecurity community. Warm, open and welcoming people with lots of will to evolve for the better. A pleasure to spend my time, learn and gather so much positive energy from them.
