January 2026 Meetup - Fabien Bourdaire and Venus

After our plea for January speakers, we've received 2 offers to talk at the January Meetup which we've gratefully accepted.

Venus will be visiting us from Manchester 2600 to deliver their talk "Private AI Options: Navigating Models, Governance, and Data Sovereignty" where we'll get to explore Public, Managed and Self-Hosted deployment paths.

We also have Fabien back with us - this time speaking about SSL VPN/Firewall Compromise.

We hope as many of you as possible can join us for our first meet of the year.

We're meeting at the usual place and time:

The Cross Keys
107 Water Ln,
Holbeck,
Leeds
LS11 5WD

Wednesday 14th January, 7pm onwards (although some of us are often a bit earlier) in the function room upstairs.

As ever, if you've got a talk you'd like to share, just have a word with either myself, Laura or Glenn.
