ITCampRo conference started at 22nd May at 9 AM. After breakfast we saw about 400 attendee, who started drink coffee, eats foods and talk in language what I don’t understand. But with luck all tracks was in English language.
With compared to last year, this time was more technical session at 300 level and this was a 4th edition of this conference, where been invited speakers not only from Romania, but also from USA, UK, Italy or Poland.
I had a hard choice, what subject attend, but I choose and below I wrote little words about how I remember it.
Management of fear – Peter Leeson
KeyNote was started by Peter Lesson. And was really amaze! When Peter come to stage, I expected that old mad, who wear a bow tie to his suit and started with serious face will made a serious talk too. But that wasn’t. Speech was non-technical, but concern about technical aspects, business and first of all: people. People, who fear and should feel this fear, because without feeling fear people would never have achieved something. But there are so many types of fear, which can turn into hatred. But fear is needed, for example Batman scared bats, so he use his fear to do good or Steve Jobs – he scared button, so he invent device without buttons. Next Mihai and Tudor, who was founders of conference, started one session with two parts and two topics.
Security in Windows Azure – Mihai Tataran

Security myths and facts in today’s IT world – Tudor Damian
Tudor at said at his presentation about facts and myths, started from basic information’s, like security are always people (their choose, knowledge etc.), but not concrete technology or conviction that buying specific product we are full protected from every attacks, viruses etc., etc.. But the most interesting was a demo, where shown why have in organization local admin is a best practice when computer is join an Active Directory. But why? Because most of people from IT are lazy, so on admins. So when admin need to change something on user computer they want to made in remote, because is so difficult to come to user. Of course admin could use remote desktop for that, but user will logout or will see every step what admin do on this computer. Best option for admin is login on user computer remotely but with way that user don’t know that someone log there. User can still work and admin can fix some problem. This is possible, when user have a local admin.
