Vivek Ramachandran Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Dear All, SecurityTube.net is pleased to announce the CFP for SecurityTubeCon, the first hacker conference, to be held completely online! SecurityTubeCon is aimed at democratizing hacker conferences by allowing any researcher, regardless of his physical location, to share his work with the community. Unlike other Cons we will not *accept / reject* speakers. If you have something interesting to share, you WILL be heard. The idea behind SecurityTubeCon is not to pass judgments on your work, instead, it aims at providing a platform for knowledge exchange. Once speakers send in their talk abstracts, we will put it online for the community members to decide which talks they want to attend. On the day of the conference, speakers will broadcast their talks using screencasting software and the interested participants will tune in. The participants will use IRC / chat rooms to ask questions to the speakers during the talks. What else is unique about SecurityTubeCon? a. This conference will be held completely online! b. Location No Barrier - speak / attend SecurityTubeCon from your bedroom :) c. Language No Barrier - though we would recommend English as the preferred language so you can address a global audience, feel free to speak in the language you are most comfortable with d. $0 is the conference registration fees - absolutely free For the CFP and other details please visit the conference site at http://www.securitytubecon.org Here is a quick summary of the CFP in an FAQ format: ----------------------------------------------------------- 1.

H@L0_F00 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I'm looking forward to this! It would be a great idea to log all IRC and make it available with the videos when they are later released, just in case there are time conflicts and someone can't watch the presentation during the specified time, but would like to look over any discussion held during the presentation.

h3%5kr3w Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Dude this is freaking awesome! Well.. Sorry about very few responses... This part of the forums get's pretty slow sometimes, and right about now for some reason (I think I know but am not saying) there just are not very many people who post anymore.. You should re-post this on the General Discussions forum, as much more people read that part, and also, let's see if Darren and Matt & Snubs would syndicate this on the show! I know I will be watching! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
