Looks really cool..  folks I hugely admire like Bruce Schneier  & Mike Masnick .. and an emcee will be Cory Doctorow! (Had to browse to dnalounge.com to learn that.  I was looking for price info..)
Too bad I'm so blasted broke that even the mincon-only pricetag added onto a Megabus ticket or such, is beyond my reach.
	$25 Minicon Only;
	$40 Party Only;
	$45 Mincon and Party EFF members;
	$50 Minicon and Party non-members.



Damn shame, too--  me & a buddy won a couple programming contests back in grade school, & reading this reminded me of them good ol days:


	Capture The Flag
	Throughout the minicon, we will be hosting our first ever "Capture the Flag" hacking contest! Anyone present at the minicon will be eligible to participate in our 4 hour contest. The challenges will include web hacking, binary analysis, cryptography challenges, and more. Top competitors will receive special prizes! Participants should bring a laptop with linux or a virtual machine installed.
	Space in the CTF is limited so please pre-register by sending an email with your team name and number of participants to ctf at eff.org.



In Liberty,
  Mark
