Hey xBBNers.                                                                    
                                                                                
I don't think I've promoted this to any of you, so I better do it now.
I'm organizing a hacker conference down here in Providence the weekend
of April 23rd to the 25th. It's a two track conference on both infosec
topics and hardware hacking/Maker topics.

We've got an incredible schedule of talks lined up. There are 22 great
talks spread out over the two days of the conference. Some of our featured
speakers are Dan "I broke DNS" Kaminsky giving our InfoSec keynote talk,
Josh Wright speaking on Zigbee security, and Mike Kershaw talking on
current WiFi threats. On the Maker side of things, we've got Matthew
Borgatti giving the Maker keynote on personal fabrication tools, Darren
Wigley and Larry Pesce on their ShmooBall cannon, and Mariano Alvira
on his MC1322x project. For activities, we'll have a crypto challenge,
the Hardware Hacking Lounge with workshops by Mitch Altman and Jimmie P.
Rodgers, Hacker Jeopardy games both Friday and Saturday evenings and a
party in the ballroom Saturday night.

We're trying to sell out by the end of the month so we can raise enough
funds to put in the order for the really cool hackable badges we've made.
If you think you might want to come after checking things out, please
register this week.
