With GitHub – I just got recognized as one of their top fans! 🎉

We're researching using a cloudflare tunnel (rust) to Oracle cloud using the matrix GitHub repo to create an end to end secured matrix server and chatterbox for our website, which should run directly on the site. It'll take a bit to put it together.

Our website is live! (But still pending official approval). We're adding more every day. Next up is a publicly accessible / no login required kids-only zone! We're talking mini games, monthly CTF, kid friendly cyber blog, resource links, and more! Stay tuned

Update: I hate the config settings by my current web host provider so I'm moving everything to Cloudflare x GitHub at the recommendation of one of our admins.

I'm building this website old school. I'm going to have forums, event links & tickets, games, blog, podcast, and a storefront to support future events.

Right now we've been helping/partnering with other local communities trying to get our footing but we're getting there.
