Hey everyone – just wanted to report in from the late night here at Hacking At Random 2009.
It’s been a whirlwind day – started the day before yesterday in the middle of the night as I started my hopping from one part of the world to a place 1/4 of the world away. It took a while but it is very worth it – the Hackers on a Plane experience is one to be experienced and I would highly encourage anyone curious about going to a european hacker conference try it out.
The HAR2009 conference is a miracle which (sorry DT, Zach, and the teams) dwarfs the amount of effort required to “spin up” the DEFCON conference. These guys start with about 3 “built” rooms spread over several sections of field and don’t just spin up the conference support infrastructure, but also largely the support structure for the “rooms” and all of the power and communications interface for hundreds of tents.
It’s something to see.
I will be posting more followups and also an image gallery to try and bring this event more to life for you all.
In the mean time, you can tune in to HARFM and listen to interviews and other interesting things coming from HAR2009. And if you happen to be at HAR2009, make sure you’re at my talk (with Tiffany Rad) on Saturday at 1700 local time.
