Howdy Jawns,
Exciting news and updates for our event on Oct 11-12; ticket sales are open! We have the same two categories of tickets: general admission (paid) and students (free). We are also adding a way for you to support the conference by using the "support" option on EventBrite (note: this is not a ticket for admission). As a reminder, our CFP is open at https://cfp.jawncon.org/, and we're starting to put together our schedule! We have the gracious and lovely Heidi Potter as our keynote speaker this year (don't worry, all mics will be pre-checked for functionality), a panel of speakers to talk about the technology landscape, a presentation about reverse engineering and building an AOL Instant Messaging Server, as well as an analysis of North Korea's RedStar Operating system! This is just the start!
Activities, we have so much room for activities! The CTF event this year is more structured, and we are excited to announce the Curmudgeon Challenge; teams will be comprised of 5 players, with at least one curmudgeon and one student per team. If you think of yourself as a curmudgeon, please consider filling out this form so that we can help match teams leading up to the event (https://forms.gle/CmkV2dJii7uuWNDJ6). Come play, and watch, teams work together in a high intense event to restore and secure access to a small business. More info to follow.
Speaking of what to watch and follow, the event's "intranet" is up and running now as well. You can visit https://0x1[.]jawncon[.]org/ (sorry bots, no easy crawl on that one) to start creating accounts and exploring some of our network infrastructure that'll be at the event. There we have a Solaris shell, AOL IM, a MUD and BBS all active!
Special thanks to the Jawn Staff for bringing this together, our Curmudgeon volunteers, speakers and sponsors!
