Re: RFC: All contests/event/parties previously okayed: Will you be at DC20?

Russ sent me an email a few weeks ago saying he and Lost were handing over the HHV to "A" but I did not hear from "A" about it, so I emailed "A" tonight to ask about the status after a PM from bombnav and eris.

"A" replied, we exchanged a few PM, and now there is a forum live, for the HHV.

There is a twitter account for this, too: https://twitter.com/#!/DC_HHV

Forum: https://forum.defcon.org/forumdisplay.php?f=652 and A has an announcement thread, too.

Good luck to A and the organizers of this event. :-)

I received a PM from GreatScott! on forums for Defcon entertainment. This year we are going to do things a little differently and take advantage of subforums for things he runs under the umbrella of Defcon Entertainment. if you have a similar circumstance, pose an argument to support this for you, and we'll see if we can come to a similar agreement.

The first forum (master) for this is "[forum=647]DEF-CON XX Official Arts & Entertainment Planning+Update Forum[/forum]," with the following description. (This description may change; it was copied forward from last year.)
description: "Pools, hackers, sunburns, dragons?, rappers, djs, musicians, spies & interactives! (twitter), (FaceBook)"

Sub-forums under this one for GreatScott!:

"[forum=648]General Updates/Planning[/forum]"
description: "Performer Application Links/Updates + Community Ideas"

"[forum=649]Black & White Balls[/forum]"
description: "Location + Time TBA"

"[forum=650]The Pool[/forum]"

I just booked hotel and flight for Defcon 20 so unless something changes, I have every intention of running the Wireless Village again this year.

Details will follow in the appropriate forum section.

That is great news. :-)

Forum created: [forum=644]Wireless Village[/forum]

I need to delete my thread once you have your announcement up.

@TCMBC @lmcomie @_defcon_ I'll be filing for @CrashAndCompile again this year, when I get near a computer.

It is fine with me if he posts it here, to. I copied the above more as a note and reminder for myself. More than one note is better than none. :-)

If your contests, event or social gathering is mentioned above as something to happen, but does not have a forums yet, please let me know about my failure.

Unhandled contests, events, parties, and social gatherings after this point should be added in the next forum cycle.

Thanks!

HackerPyramid will be back - bigger and better (and even more awesome) with wildly* expanded game play and prizes for DC20.

*note: wild is not often good.

Re: RFC: All contests/event/parties previously okayed: Will you be at DC20?

If I am able to make it this year I'll be doing the Wireless Village with one change. Instead of closing the Wireless Village for the Ham Exams, I'd like to keep it open and have whomever is doing the Ham exams do them in another location if possible.

A lot of people reached out to me about their disappointment in not having any contest or training on Sunday.

Should be able to firm up my attendance early next month.

Contests, events and social gatherings above this have been reviewed for forum creation.

The next round of additions follows:

Neil say Artwork Contest should return, but no new info yet. Once he has info, I can make a forum for it.
