My intention is to develop contacts of like minded people and when I checked with people who I knew they were not interested in CTF for me to build a team. There was one guy who joined me however was unable to continue since he had work. I have not changed the topic to [OT] since most of the work required in the CTF was done using GNU\LINUX. The CTF did enable me to learn about my strengths.
