One #infosec example of the very many NSF funding awards being revoked:
"Hudson County Community College (HCCC) was awarded a $599,811 National Science Foundation (NSF) grant for its program, “Nurturing Resilience: Empowering the Next Generation of Cybersecurity Professionals with a Focus on Women.” The program goals are to recruit and retain more women in the HCCC Cybersecurity Prog…

The explosive demand for Cybersecurity is outpacing the supply of computer science professionals who assess threats and prevent attacks. Educational institutions, healthcare organizations, government, businesses, and individuals are increasingly vulnerable to evolving hazards including phishing, spoofing, malware, ransomware, and viruses.

I don’t do #InfoSec or other cons so I don’t have a strong sense of whether the “Open Space” concept is brilliant or uproariously absurd. I lean towards the latter because it just seems to me like a recipe for people standing around.

But hey... it was simple. Just delete every registry key of it.
