Re: How would you make DEF CON 23 better than DEF CON 22?
i Recommend a Video or page dedicated to introducing Who the Goons Are... I heard some Old School Defcon people repeatedly saying "who is that Goon" beyond Wearing the Red Shirts.. (like what Squads and branches their is (to better help every one) it may not need Every Single Goon but at least help those who may have missed a year or 3 and want to confirm the people(public) look to as "authority"
the other large ringing thought for a while now:
i've been Excited for the year "23" because this is my kind of fun...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/23_enigma
23 the number of coincidence/Magic/chaos/etc... its So much fun I was talking to Evan Of Obscura ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oddities_(TV_series) )
I was speaking with her because Yes the Number 23 has been a long time focus for Odd things that it would be silly to ignore it as a theme to this next year.. Espically with this being anouther hotel change and the only real certainty is that We're on the Strip again and that should be Fun!..
(Evan LOVED the Awesome LoL of a hacker con being Called DEFCON and shocked she hadn't known about it considering her business)
But Aside from the Love she Expressed the comradery of research was the "magic" in our conversation..
Its no Accident We've Gotten This Far... I'm Just Saying We Need to keep Going..
I purpose we talk to more people and places that may not Eminently identify as part of our movements and we talk to them and we show them what we are about..
+Are We not the Force of Change we Seek to See in the world?
I noted We had an Extremely Huge Buffer Over Flow of the 101 Class... Then I was Helping with the Skytalks Room I Directed people to the 303 room because 101 was full..
I think if we opt for tagging events and classes with a 101 tag and maybe say its a talk that you may want to bring your kids with to throw a kid ok icon/ tag in on things could instantly answer repeat questions to staff..
(icons sets for what type of directions Talks are.. from just covering the topics to being a pre warning *INFOHAZARDS* image key)
I feel with the Map we should at least label what main talks and what time to expect them should be featured with the maps..
maybe we should just implore an info Squad to pair with the red shirts.. I know going to a red shirt is set to help on anything but i feel we're old and large enough we should bee looking at sub branches..
(i recommend Info helpers Wear a neon green/yellow.. )
>>If WE are going to still be upset about public space photography set rules should be set up on that as well... I was unaware their was positions in photography for defcon officially.. not only do i have interest in this but i would advise they be in a color shirt/vest system as well..
the Original side thought i really wanted to bring up is i hope our theme this year is WEIRD! I personally will at least have some postcards for OBSCURA come DC23 but really i hope we can just get them involved maybe as guests..
oh and i feel like we can incorporate more art all over.. I volunteer helping any way i can.
Cheers!!
