Received word from BBox that the Forum meet is being planned for DC20.

Create forum for Defcon Forum Meet.

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

I think that at this time, I have new forums created for all contests, events or social gatherings where the organizer has stepped forward to indicate their desire to run their contests, event or social gathering again.

New contests, events or social gatherings after this point have not yet been added:

User Minga says that the "Crack Me If You Can" contest will return to Defcon 20.

A [forum=661]new forum for Crack Me If You Can[/forum] has been created. The description from last year has been copied forward and may be revised. It is presently:

[forum=661]Crack Me If You Can[/forum]
For the first time, KoreLogic's Password Cracking Challenge is coming to DEFCON as a contest. 53,000 password hashes in 48 hours? You game? (site), (twitter)

I'm guessing "first" will be replaced with "second" but there may be other changes too.

Dark Tangent says the "Dark Tangent Taper Evident Contest" will return to Defcon 20.

Forum created: [forum=662]Dark Tangent Taper Evident Contest[/forum]

"Impossible to reseal or reuse". Your goal is to prove them wrong and document your work every step of the way. (site)

An email I sent out to everyone mentioned in this thread that has stated a plan to run something at Defcon has been sent out. Here is a copy of that email. Email addresses in this copy have been altered:

Hello Defcon Contest, Event, Social gathering, Party organizer, etc.
(Using BCC to hide your email addresses from each other)
People included: https://forum.defcon.org/showthread.php?t=12652

If you have already submitted your information to the people and
confirmed it, then you can ignore this email. If you know of other
people that were planning to do something at Defcon, and they have not
submitted their information, please pass this email on to them.
Thanks!



CONTESTS AND EVENTS IN CONTEST ROOM:
Pyr0 announced an RFI with a deadline to get your request to him if
you want to use resources under his management at Defcon, such as
space on the Defcon floor.
The RFI that was published:
https://www.defcon.org/html/defcon-2...ntest-rfi.html
The Deadline:
-> May 5, 2012



SPEAKER TRACK CONTESTS:
Are you running a contest that is supposed to use a speaker track?
(10,000 cent Pyramid, Hacker Jeopardy, etc.) Please contact Nikita to
make arrangements for the thing you plan to run.

SKYBOX/SIDEROOMS:
Are you planning to do something that would use a Skybox? Neil says he
thinks Grifter is still in charge of this. You really should contact
him to make sure he has set aside space for you, or risk not having
any space.

GreatScott! announced a call for DJ and entertainment:
https://forum.defcon.org/showthread.php?t=12734
Deadline for applications:
-> April 30th, 2012



If NONE of the above applies to you, and you are only running
something like the Toxic BBQ, or Defcon Shoot and want to see your
event that does not use any other Defcon resources mentioned in the
program, contact Neil.

WARNING:
I have created many forums for Contests, Events, Social Gatherings,
and parties where I've been told they would return:
https://forum.defcon.org/forumdisplay.php?f=616

I will be contacting Nikita, Neil, Dark tangent, and Pyr0 to sync the
forum lists with reality in mid-May. If they don't know about your
contest, event or social gathering, I'll close any forum for it. If
you miss your deadline, you may not get any space, or may not be
included in the program.

Get your info turned in soon!

As you all should know, I am not responsible for an of these
happenings and don't approve anything. This email is a reminder I send
out to those people with these kinds of contributions to Defcon as a
courtesy.

This PSA has been brought to you by the letter 0x41 and the number 0x41.
And groaning is half the battle. :-)

Good luck!

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

Ripshy says The Defcon Summit will return to DC20 in another post on the forums. Reminder: make a forum for this, too.

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

Also, Neil says he received word that "Social Engineering CTF" is going to return to DC 20. Make a forum for this in the next round.

To the best of my knowledge there will not be a HAM License Exam at Defcon this year.

JonM, who normally leads this, is not going to be attending and I will be tied up in the Wireless Village on Sunday this year.
