In January 2026, I was asked to give a <a href="https://svrooij.io/2026/01/23/introduction-identity-proxy-dotnet-zuid/">talk</a> at their meetup, and I really enjoyed it.</p> <figure><a href="https://svrooij.io/2026/01/23/introduction-identity-proxy-dotnet-zuid/"><img src="https://svrooij.io/assets/images/2026/01/dotnet_zuid_identityproxy_2026-01-20.jfif"></a><figcaption> <h4>Introducing identity proxy at .NET Zuid</h4> </figcaption> </figure> <h2 id="from-attendee-to-organizer">From attendee to organizer</h2> <p>Organizing +/- 10 meetups a year is a lot of work, all done by three volunteers for the .NET Zuid foundation. They were looking for more help, and eventually asked if I wanted to join the team. I was happy to say yes, and I have been helping out setting up stuff during the meetups.</p>
