Hello Chicago Security-type folk!,
I'm helping to
put on a small, bar-bound, and ambulatory hacker conference known as
Neighborcon Chicago with the help & presence of one Mr. Travis
Goodspeed. We wanted to make sure not to leave out the security
community, so hopefully you don't disregard this e-mail as spam. We'd
dig for you all to come and give presentations and join us for some
drinks! Thusly, please find attached a copy of our call for
presentations and a copy of our poster, and here below is our
official-sounding invitational text:
Howdy, Neighbors!
You're invited to join your fellow
neighbors for Neighborcon Chicago on Saturday June 12th and Sunday June
13th from 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm (with continued non-official festivities
afterwards).
What is Neighborcon? Neighborcon is a collection of friendly folk
coming together to discuss friendly ideas. Presentations and talks will
be given on various subjects (as long as they're neighborly),
conversations will be had, food will be eaten, and drinks will be drunk
(in traditional hacker fashion, to excess!).
Where is Neighborcon? Glad you asked! Neighborcon Chicago will be
held at Sully's House Tavern & Grill. They've been kind enough to
offer us their private upstairs bar to hold our events in. Good food,
good drinks, good people! Sully's House is located at 1501 North Dayton
St. Chicago, IL 60642, a three minute walk from the North/Clybourn Red
Line stop. Tip your waitress well!
What does Neighborcon cost? We're asking for $20, which will include
your badge, a button, and a neighborly handshake from Mr. Goodspeed (to
be fair you can usually get that for free). Broke or unemployed? Let us
know the situation, and we'll aim to discount or waive your fee!
Willing to be a speaker and give a presentation? Then you get in at no
cost!
How do you submit a talk to Neighborcon? Visit
http://frob.us/neighborcon.txt
to view the call for papers and e-mail in your proposal to
tra...@radiantmachines.com.
If it's neighborly, we'll likely accept it! The sky's the limit as far
as subject matter.
Any other questions? Most things can be answered via
http://frob.us/neighborcon.txt,
but feel free to e-mail
tra...@radiantmachines.com or
eli....@gmail.com
with the subject line NEIGHBORCON if you're still vexed.
Invite your friends! Hell, invite your enemies if'n they're FYN-FYTN
compliant!
In accordance with historical Neighborcons, we're
doing this semi-disorganized and very last minute. We hope to see you
there anyway, and if not, FYN!
Cheers!,
