FIRST Times Newsletter

FIRST Times Newsletters are no longer maintained. These pages are available for historical purposes, only.

FIRST Times, the FIRST Newsletter, was created in May 2002 and aims at gathering information on projects and initiatives within FIRST and in the Incident Response field, and providing this information to the FIRST members in a nice and readable way.

This publication also intends to make FIRST community efforts to be known outside FIRST.

There are three issues of the Newsletter each year.
