My closest hacker friend and I decided to drive the 70 miles into San Antonio to attend the DC210 meeting that happens every third Wednesday at the Thai Corner Restaurant. The website at www.dc210.org was still valid with a link to a nice looking flyer that I read and saved with all the details, so- off we went.
The location is nice, and I remembered meeting here last winter with the San Antonio Hackers Association (SAHA, I think…) and there was a semi-private room, plenty of space and seats, a projector, good Thai food, and everything else a loose organization of hackers might want, except for us two, there were not any other hackers.
After an obligatory re-check of the website and flyer, we asked the manager about the meeting. He let us know that it had been a long time since DC210 had met there, maybe almost a year ago. He offered to let us know about the other group that met there (SAHA), we thanked him, and finished our meal and discussed DEFCON relevant stories and ideas at our group of two meeting.
So all you DEFCON enthusiasts out there in the 210 lands, please consider carefully why this close to DEFCON-19 we all are not having any get-togethers?
HEY! Wakeup out there and please help get the discussion going- with no personal attacks. If you have a personal problem with how something was done, volunteer to do it correctly. Participate and make something great:
a. How do we re-fibrillate the group?
b. What are the hang-ups that need to be addressed?
c. Who wants to and can help, volunteer, participate?
d. If nothing else, we can find somewhere to meet and drink;
...the flying saucer perhaps....
