[Benjamin Tomhave]

Greetings and solicitations!

We're pleased as punch to announce the 2nd annual Security BSides Austin
2011: Keep Security Weird! Planning is well underway for this year's
event, which will be held March 11-12 in Austin, TX, conveniently during
the same time SXSW Interactive (a major developer conference). One of
our primary objectives in hosting opposite SXSW is to provide FREE
appsec training and presentations to developers who are in town for the
event. Our long-term goal is to become an officially sanctioned SXSW event.

To make this event as outstanding as possible, we need your help!

Here's how:

 * Speak! The CFP is open. Please register and submit your talk, or just
leave a comment if you don't want to register on the site.

 * Attend! Register to attend at http://bsidesaustin2011.eventbrite.com/

 * Sponsor! BSides events are free to attendees, which means we rely
exclusively on sponsors. If you're willing to contribute, please drop us
a note and we'll follow-up. Sponsorship is a great way to make a
low-cost investment in the industry while getting your name out there
and associated with one of the hottest events around!

In addition to traditional talks and unconference sessions, we are also
in the process of setting-up an AppSec Guerrilla Camp track where free
hands-on workshops will be provided on appsec topics. These 1-2 hour
sessions will be technical in nature and specifically oriented to
developers.

More information is available from the official event website:
http://www.keepsecurityweird.org/

Please feel free to contact me directly (off-list) if you have questions
or are interested in helping out!

Thank you,

-ben
