While I will not be traveling to HOPE X, I do have the following submission for your consideration:
https://gist.github.com/ABISprotocol/8515891 Cheers, -Odinn > Attention all hackers, makers, whistleblowers, artists, phone phreaks, > rebels, technologists, and free thinkers everywhere! Come and share your > ideas, thoughts, and passions with thousands of really bright, creative, > and open-minded people in New York City this summer at HOPE X. > > We have room for around 100 talks and panels covering a wide range of > topics, limited only by our collective imagination. Past talks and panels > have included: anonymity, surveillance and countersurveillance, social > engineering, hardware hacking, cryptography, privacy, security, > censorship, > programming, democracy and law, digital protests, society hacking, > copyright, phone phreaking and telecommunications, new technologies, all > manner of experimentation, and so much more. We are constantly searching > for innovative subjects and presentation formats. Come and show us what > you've got! > > All types of presentations are encouraged, from solo talks to panels, > debates, demonstrations, and interactive discussions. (Workshop ideas > and art exhibitions are also welcome - see the applicable sections on the > HOPE X site.) Most presentations will be allotted 55 minutes - including > time for questions from the audience. > > If you would like to be a speaker, submit a title and a description of > the proposed presentation (two to three paragraphs) along with a short > biography (three or four sentences will suffice). Submissions should be > sent by email to [email protected]. Be sure to tell us why you think > the topic and content are relevant to the hacker community and to HOPE X > attendees. > > We also recommend reading our additional tips on speaker submissions which > can be found at http://x.hope.net under "Call for Participants." >
