Extra Lunch: Thursday August 13th

Technical Meeting: Thursday August 13th

Kevin A, on DEFCON 2015.

I dropped the ball and forgot to ask for a sales pitch, so I'm taking just what I know to be relevant/updatable from last year's.

--- DEF CON is the worlds largest hacker convention held annually in Las Vegas. Kevin has been attending since 2008 and has presented on almost every one. This is the latest installment in that series and covers DEF CON 23. ---

Upcoming Meeting Crisis!

Well, not really a crisis, but we do need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2015. We'd like to know what you want to see and hear about. Please email Tina or Jon G with suggestions for topics. Should we run some previous sessions again (maybe something you really wanted to see but missed out on)? What type of topics are good, what type are bad? Also see this page for a list of suggested topics http://www.k-lug.org/Meetings
