DEF CON Program call for sumbissions!

[Dark Tangent]

Solicitation for papers, stories, and art:

Contrary to rumors on IRC, DEF CON is not starting a publication. What we are doing is expanding the show program to be more of than just a show guide since last year's program with the added articles was such a huge hit. As such we are looking for serious technical articles, relating to the underground scene, privacy, computer security, humor, stories, and art.

Thanks for clearing this up DT

Sounds super great! I hate missing all the rumors spawned on IRC :(... though I would only be concerned about it being turned into publication if phone pics were being requested (haha).

No sexy centerfold?

[KeLviN]

Or the perfect centerfold for the computer world: Rear Admiral Grace Hopper .

Hubba hubba. :D

[KeLviN]

....find a fold......

I was thinking about this today, and for the program a meet the forum would be interesting. Have awards for things like postwhoring, and newbie of the year, stuff to that nature. and maybe a picture done with all the avatars of all senior members.

Honors and Awards:

Phi Beta Kappa, 1928; Man-of-the-year, Data Processing Management Association, 1969...

Does anyone else find it odd that she won man of the year?
...Shouldn't it be person of the year?

[KeLviN]

did you see her picture?! i think its still up for debate....

[Deviant Ollam]

digest size instead of huge roadmap type paper

will the programs be gigantic like they were in previous years or will they be booklet-style / digest-size?

just hoping to be able to fit the program in one of my cargo pockets as i walk around the hotel. :)

we're doing them on stone tablets this year. We still havent decided if we're going to write them in some sort of cuneiform or not. You will need to bring your own Rosetta Stone though.

Looks like someone might get stoned.

Or there may be a stoning. :D
