Team Members

Provisional Team Members

Organisation for WHY2025 is starting to ramp up. Therefore, we are collecting names of those interested in being involved in Team:Content & Team:SpeakerDesk again with the intention of arranging a 'kick off' meeting.

By extension it would be good to know which team you are interested in being involved with. The separation between Content/Reviewers/Speaker Desk was brought up in the lessons learned from last year and is something we will discuss in the kickoff.

There is no commitment at this stage, but if your name doesn't appear it will be assumed you aren't interested and you won't be invited to the initial meetings. There may be opportunities to join the team at a later date.

Team structure

Team Content includes multiple subteams. These are their responsibilities:

  • Reviewers - rating the submissions received via CFP.
  • Speaker Desk - processing speaker requests shortly before the event, supporting speakers on site, and finalizing expense paperwork after the event.
  • Heralds - Annoucing the speakers on stage, keeping the audience entertained during breaks, providing useful info, controlling the crowd.
  • Content - planning, coordinating intra- and inter-team and doing any and all administrative stuff, organizing the CFP, etc. And everything else not covered above.

Talk Streams WHY 2025

We highly yearn to have the following content streams at WHY2025:

Note: Keep in mind that these streams are outlines. Your talk doesn’t need to fall neatly into exactly one category. It may overlap, it may go out of bounds. The WHY program is not a memorysafe system: so overflow that stack any way you want.

Wonderful creations: Have you created something cool? This is WHY’s show-and-tell. It can be about something you’ve built. A framework you’ve created. An in depth analysis of an interesting subject. The most fabulous explanation of difficult and misunderstood things. Or the art that you made.

Hacking: Did you break something? Did you fix it? Or did you fix it by breaking it, or was it the other way around? Hacking involves using something in a way it was not intended. This can include software, hardware, and humanware all the same

Yearn for a better future: Do you want to improve our society, yourself or influence others to self-improvement? In the Yearning stream we will have talks on ethics, privacy, politics, mental health, society and economics. Improve oneself or help uplift others.

The square hole: If your idea doesn’t fit in any of the categories above, but you think it will be cool to share at WHY, then remember that every shape fits into the square hole.

WHY2025 will also have two talk streams that overlap with some of the thematic streams, you can submit your proposal purely for these streams or you can double and present your talk twice, once in the regular streams or as a foundational or kids level:

Foundation: We want to grow the hacking community and welcome new people who might just be making their first steps into the scene, or are side stepping into new areas that they want to explore. Foundation is the place where we welcome and teach people with little prior knowledge but a lot of motivation.

Kids: Explain It Like I’m Five, but for real. Challenge yourself and present your talk to our youngest hackers in the family village. In a format, time domain and level that is appropriate for primary school children.

And we will also have a very special format for the very seasoned speakers:

Milliways Cyber Circus: The cyber circus is a novel format that you might not be familiar with. Instead of on a stage in front of the audience, you will be presenting in the middle of the room, with the audience in an almost 360° arrangement around you. Just like in a circus or a theatre-in-the-round. If you feel up to presenting in this format you can opt-in in the CFP form, final selection of speakers for the Cyber Circus is up to Team:Content.

Wary you must be: this format is more challenging than a regular set-up. Holding on to a lectern as a tower of strength, or to hide behind is no more. You will have eyes prying in your back and will need to work the room around you. This is an excellent format to present without a slide-deck, or with physical props. There will be an option to show slides, but you will not be near your laptop, so bring a clicker and assistant.
