Yes, I will be attending all meetups I can find on security, but haven't found many options here in Melbourne (those two are in Sydney). Here I've found a local OWASP and Ruxcon, but they are not that frequent.

This is very different from the web development world, where you can find dozens of relevant meetups every month. I guess that's part of learning a new area, perhaps security people use a different channel to connect, we'll see...
