SIEM-in-two-days build-a-thon (for NGOs)¶

A storm-watchtower is no good if it takes years to build. This sprint is about raising a modest but sturdy lookout in just two days — a SIEM stack NGOs can actually maintain. Crews will learn to collect logs, parse them into usable maps, and set up dashboards that warn when squalls are coming. Collaboration is key: no one builds a lighthouse alone.

Outcome: A working prototype and the knowledge to raise a watchtower back home with limited timber and rope.

Pi-Rogue-in-a-day build-a-thon¶

Every fleet needs small, agile craft — not just lumbering ships. This build-a-thon equips participants with a Pi-Rogue, a pocket-sized vessel designed for network exploration and defensive patrols. In one day, the crew sets it afloat, configures its sails (toolchains), and practises manoeuvring through hostile waters.

Outcome: A personal craft for reconnaissance and defence, ready to be replicated for small crews and NGOs.
