COLORADO: calling all geeks!

[ironfeather]

Hi, We are organizing a small one day conference for Denver Colorado called PHUTURE on MAY 3rd 2014 and looking for people to speak, give demos, volunteer, etc.

Focus is on the various computer sub-cultures (cyberpunk,,hacking/security, memes, privacy, bitcoins, etc) to showing off gadgets to DIY projects, old computers, radio, etc

Vendors welcomed!

Part of the conference : we are working on a USB mem stick to give away featuring a bootable linux distro packed with useful tools + art, MP3s, texts, etc contributed by everyone. Have some cool stuff we should include?

Drop me a line for more infos

Cheers

who is we?
do we need another DEF CON?

 

[ironfeather]

not a defcon but certainly inspired greatly by defcon but also by little cons like phreaknic, interzone and even the denver zine fest etc.

contacting the local hackerspaces and reaching out to all 303 as much as possible

but also including stuff like "history of memes" etc, local radio broadcasting, circuit bending, etc so not all so heavy and also small as like 100+ people rather than 20,000

A live True Tale spoken by the Ned himself? How much and where do I sign up...also, wouldn't mind seeing SandEagle get locked up. Could be pretty entertaining.

 

[Markbnj]

I'll speak for $1200 plus expenses.

:thumbsup: 😀

7:10pm: Someone gets thrown out of the party for the 37th time, but will inevitably slip back in. Delightfully civil pomes about M3s continue, until...

8:00pm: Flyover of a plane that took off from a treadmill. The key is inflating its tires to sidewall.

I would consider showing up if the event appears to be interesting. Keep us in the loop.
