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

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

Did it not go over well last year? I heard mixed reports as to where and when it would take place, etc. I didn't get to see it go down and now i'm even more curious what the end result was.

Events happened. A discussion was had among people that control things, and a decison was made.
I was not part of the discussions for the decision, but can confirm what noid says is true, as true.
Feel free to ask others, or start a thread in /dev/random on this if you think people want to talk about it.
Because I was not part of the decision discussion last year, and my conversations with the people involved included implied privacy, I don't feel comfortable talking about the, "what," or, "why," only the results: it will not be coming back.

Both the "DC-Stuff" mailing list announcement I sent out, and the forum announcement here included comment about the AICC being mentioned in this thread, but also stated the AICC will not be returning.

Start a new thread or take your questions to PM people willing and able to comment on it if you need to know more. (It is better to not get your information second-hand, anyway.)

Back to topic:
This weekend, I will be rolling out forums for, "Hacker Karaoke," and, "Spot the Fed." Are there any other contests, events or social gatherings that should be added in this next round of adds?

Regardless of what the AICC organizer thinks, AICC will not be returning to DEFCON this year nor will there be any event organized by that person.

Hacker Karaoke will be back at DC20

Thanks man! I'll get to add that in the next batch of forum addition.

This post is a reminder to add, "Spot the Fed," because it is always a go. (I don't even have to ask.)

oCTF will be coming back!

I sent an email to your forum-registered email address letting your know a forum has been created for oCTF at DC20, but it bounced.
Letting you know here.

Word from BluKnight: he plans to run Skytalks for DC20.

Verified. Skytalks (V) will be returning for DC20.

The HackBus will be back. We will have air conditioning for the entirety of the trip too.

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

Project 2 would like to come back in a way that doesn't clash with Mystery Challenge, oCTF, Network Forensics challenge, or Team Fortress. The aforementioned contest leads have already begun coordinating about how best to do this.

If we can all pull it off, DC20 contests will be badass in a whole new dimension.

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

We will have badges next year.

Mystery Challenge will be back next year.

One more thing...

I plan to send ONE email message to the email addresses of all the forum users that reply here with a stated intention to bring back their contest, event ,social gathering or party once Pyr0 has a published RFI for Defcon 20.

I'll use BCC so none of your email addresses will be exposed to each other. This email should come from, "defconforums@gmail.com" and be to, "defconforums@gmail.com"

This will give you a reminder to get your info in to Pyr0 early, so that you are in the program, and have the resources you need.

Thanks!
